Batterer Intervention Program (BIP) Advisory Committee

Other Resources

A law passed in 2001 charged the Oregon Attorney General's office with creating Oregon Administrative Rules (OARs) for Batterer Intervention Programs in Oregon. The rules went into effect in January of 2006. The Crime Victims' Services Division hosts the Batterer Intervention Program (BIP) Advisory Committee. The Committee meets 3 to 4 times a year and is responsible for making needed changes to the rules, approving pilot projects and other work critical to the functioning of the Standards statewide.

For a complete list of BIP programs please see the Oregon Batterer Intervention Providers Directory (by County) 2011-2012 (pdf). Note: Inclusion in the directory is not an endorsement of the program by DOJ or the DOJ Batterer Intervention Advisory Committee, nor does it indicate programs listed are in compliance with the Batterer Intervention Standards found in OAR 137-087-0000.

If you have any questions regarding the rules, please e-mail Cynthia Stinson, cynthia.stinson@state.or.us. You may also call Cynthia at (503) 378-5348.
