39	89		Criminal Identification and Investigation was credited with reducing
40	90		the number of bank robberies in the state by seventy-five percent
41	91		(75%). Agents accomplished this impressive feat by developing leads
42	92		while using informant s. The use of informants was an investigative

57	105		Governor until 1976, when state leaders sought ways to reduce
58	106		political pressures due to the OSBI being ta sked with numerous
59	107		political investigations. The Oklahoma Legislature created a seven-
