CrimeCon 2026

Across Indian Country, the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) continues to devastate families, communities, and Tribal Nations. Generations of challenging circumstances, gaps in data, jurisdictional complexity, and under resourced investigative systems have contributed to a crisis that demands sustained, coordinated, and culturally grounded action. The Bureau of Indian Affairs Missing and Murdered Unit (BIA MMU) was created to meet this moment with urgency, accountability, and a clear mandate: bring resolution to MMIP cases and deliver justice for Indigenous people.

This session introduces “Turning Mission into Measurable Impact,” a conversation designed to strengthen how MMU personnel, Tribal partners, and interagency collaborators translate mission driven values into operational results. Participants will learn how the MMU is reshaping investigative approaches, improving data integrity, and building collaborative frameworks that honor Tribal sovereignty while accelerating case resolution.
