Oklahoma State Representative Jason Murphey, R-Guthrie, has been appointed by House Speaker Chris Benge, to serve on a state law enforcement oversight committee.

Murphey, who is a current member of the House of Representative's Public Safety Committee, and past member of the House Corrections and Criminal Justice Subcommittee, was appointed to also serve on the Oklahoma Integrated Justice Information Systems Steering (OIJIS) Committee.

"I have always enjoyed working on law enforcement and technology policy issues, and look forward to this assignment," Murphey said.

The OIJIS Committee serves as the Executive Committee for oversight of the strategic planning, development, funding, implementation and operations of the justice information systems of the state. Membership on the committee includes various representatives from the state's public safety, legislative, prosecutorial and judicial authorities, and is staffed by officials from the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI).
