Part one of a future two-part podcast series discusses how to build meaningful relationships with tribes, community stakeholders and law enforcement, and how to leverage those connections to influence change in the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives (MMIR) space. Listen as NCJA Program Manager Amanda Blasko speaks with Matt Lunn, Director of the Colorado  Division of Criminal Justice, and Melody Delmar, Director of Colorado’s Office of the Liaison for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives (OMMIR)  as they chronicle their initial steps and shared vision for these relationships, the importance of the role of the SAA in MMIR work, and how the unique role of Colorado’s co-located SAA and OMMIR act as a force multiplier for change.
