COMMUNITY DESCRIPTION
The City of Shawnee is the county seat of Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, United
States. In 2000, Shawnee was home to 28,692 Oklahomans. Since 2000, Shawnee’s
population has increased by 4.1%, reaching 30,256 in 2007. The city is located on
Interstate 40, approximately 40 miles east of Oklahoma’s capitol city, Oklahoma City,
and spans over 42 square miles. The McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System
is a few miles away, and offers barge access to the Gulf of Mexico and the Great Lakes
Region.1,2
Government
The Shawnee City Government currently operates under a managerial form of
government. The Board of Commissioners appoints a City Manager, who has charge
over all city departments. The board also passes all ordinances and must confirm all
appointments made by the City Manager. This government model is purely
representative in form; the power is derived directly from the people.3
Universities
St. Gregory’s University (SGU) and Oklahoma Baptist University (OBU) are two
prominent colleges located in the Shawnee community. SGU is accredited by the
Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools
and the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. Approximately 800 students
are enrolled in the undergraduate program and 330 traditional students are at the
main campus in Shawnee. Fifteen states and 18 countries are represented in the
student body at St. Gregory’s. OBU has an average of over 1,700 students from 39
different states and 20 countries. The U.S. News & World Report has nationally
ranked Oklahoma Baptist University as Oklahoma’s highest rated college for 15
consecutive years, and The Princeton Review ranked OBU in the 2008 “America’s Best
Value Colleges” and named the university a 2009 “Best in the West” institution.4,5

Shawnee Culture
Absentee-Shawnee
The Absentee Shawnee tribe was formed when it “absented” itself from the traditional
Shawnee tribe from the Shawnee reservation in Kansas. At the time of division, this
group relocated to the State of Oklahoma and consisted of two bands – the White
Turkey Band and the Big Jim Band. The White Turkey Band settled in its present
location in Pottawatomie County near Shawnee, Oklahoma.6

Citizen Potawatomi
The Potawatomi Nation is the ninth largest Native American tribe in the United States
with approximately 26,000 members. The Citizen Potawatomi band established its
headquarters in the State of Oklahoma, located between Shawnee and Tecumseh,
Oklahoma. The tribe owns one of the State’s largest grocery stores; the First National
Bank and Trust of Shawnee; the FireLake Golf Course, Restaurant, Entertainment
Center, and Grand Casino; and the Cultural Heritage Center which houses the Nation’s
Museum, Tribal Archives and Library, Tribal Heritage Project, Long Room Event
Center, Veterans’ Wall of Honor, FireLake Gifts, and Tribal Rolls. Citizen Potawatomi
also has a Health and Wellness Center, an Employment and Training Center, and a
Child Development facility with over 250 children attending daily.7
Sister Cities Council
The Sister Cities Council of Shawnee, Oklahoma was formed in 1989, and the council
invited the community of Nikaho in Akita, Japan to partner with the City of Shawnee
through the Sister Cities International program in 1990. The City of Nikaho is home to
approximately 12,500 people on the northern coast of Japan. Sports and recreation
activities in this town contribute to good health and friendly relations among people.
Agriculture is the primary industry, along with oil and gas, and electronics. Both cities
have played a similar role of importance in the growth of the ferrite and electronics
industries, and house TDK (Tokyo Denki Kagaku Kogyo) Corporation plants.
Additionally, each year, the two communities host a citizen exchange when both
Nikaho and Shawnee students and adults are given the opportunity to visit their sister
city to renew ties, exchange gifts, learn about, and experience the rich culture that
each city has to offer.
Nikaho and Shawnee have resolved to unite as sister cities in order to promote
understanding and friendship among its community members and strengthen bonds to
contribute to the development of lasting relationships. Both communities have carried
on a wide range of exchanges and cooperation for mutual benefit in the areas of
economic development, culture, art, education, sports, science and technology, youth
exchanges, municipal administration, and urban development in order to contribute to
a common prosperity and friendship. The organization’s goals are to:

City Sites
The Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art is one of the oldest
museums in the State of Oklahoma. Father Gregory
Gerrer, a Benedictine monk with considerable artistic
talent, founded the museum in 1919. He traveled
throughout Europe, Africa, and South America collecting
objects of artistic and ethnological value. The
museum's permanent collections include Egyptian,
Greek and Roman pieces; art from the Renaissance
through the early 20th century; and large holdings of Native American, African/
Oceanic, and Eastern cultural artifacts.
Built in 1904, the Santa Fe Depot is a historical
landmark in Pottawatomie County. The building's
Romanesque style resembles a castle, and it remains
one of Oklahoma's most photographed buildings. The
Santa Fe Depot is the home of the Historical Society of
Pottawatomie County Museum. The Depot holds a
variety of special events including the Woodcarver's
Festival, Doll Show, Quilt Show, and Christmas
Ornament Show.9

features over 1,000 high school rodeo athletes from the United States, Canada, and
Australia. Competitive events include barrel racing, pole bending, breakaway roping,

INDICATOR 1. AN INFRASTRUCTURE BASED ON PARTNERSHIP AND COLLABORATIONS
Safe Community Shawnee Steering Committee
The lead group for Safe Community Shawnee is the Pottawatomie County Local
Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC). The Safe Community Shawnee Steering
Committee will be a subcommittee of the LEPC (Attachment A). The steering
committee will be located within the Community Outreach Committee, and will be
lead by the chair of that committee who will work with other LEPC representatives
and community partners.
The LEPC recognizes that injury incidents are not random occurrences. Many times
they result from multiple conditions and situations that involve the interactions of
people with machines, activities, and environments on a daily basis.
The Pottawatomie County LEPC was formed in 1988 in accordance with provisions of
the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA) [Public Law 99499] and Title 63 Oklahoma Statutes Section 689.1 et. Seq. The initial role of the LEPC
was to form partnerships between local government, business and industry, and
community groups to enhance hazardous materials preparedness. Recognizing the
benefits of the collaboration and cooperation achieved through this process, the
mission has evolved to include preparedness for all-hazards affecting Pottawatomie
County as well as addressing the safety of the community as a whole.
This committee is a voluntary organization and does not have paid full time
employees. However, support from the community has made this organization a
success. The LEPC membership includes representatives from elected state, county,
and local officials; emergency medical personnel; fire departments; public health
officials; emergency management personnel; law enforcement; community groups;
local environmental groups; transportation personnel; broadcast and print media;
hospitals; educational institutions; and owners and operators of regulated facilities.
The LEPC elects a Chairperson and a Vice Chairperson for a two-year term of office.
By-laws govern the conduct of subcommittees that allow the process to move forward
more quickly. The Community Outreach Committee is charged with the responsibility
for organizing and implementing health and environmental safety awareness programs
and activities for the county. Such programs include safety fairs, school safety
programs, media campaigns, and other activities that inform the general public about
preventative and responsive measures relating to the various hazards affecting the
citizens of Pottawatomie County.
Sustainability of the LEPC involves continued support from state grants and active
support from local agencies (see attached Letters of Support).
The work of the committee is documented internally through reports and updates at
each monthly meeting. Progress updates on the Safe Communities project will be
discussed at each LEPC meeting (Attachments A-C). Externally, the activities of the
organization are monitored through reports to the State Emergency Response
Commission, semi-annual reports to the Oklahoma Department of Emergency

INDICATOR 2. LONG-TERM, SUSTAINABLE PROGRAMS
Shawnee, Oklahoma has many programs dedicated to safety promotion and injury
prevention among its citizens. These programs target males and females across the
lifespan. High priority injury areas are identified by a thorough review of local, state,
and national injury data. Hospital data, public school interest areas, and media
reports are also utilized.
A few of the Shawnee/Pottawatomie County area safety programs include the Police
Safety Fair, Wrecked, and Totin’ Chip Safety. The Police Safety Fair includes
demonstrations that allow the community to see the effects of drinking and driving,
neglecting to wear seat belts, and distracted driving. Wrecked is a course derived
from the numerous motor vehicle crashes involving teenagers in the community. The
purpose of Wrecked is to provide driver’s education and promote traffic safety among
teen drivers and passengers. The city also has a significant hunting area and the
Totin’ Chip Safety was developed to protect the community’s hunters. This program
teaches community members the importance of knife safety and proper use of hunting
knives.
Areas of program emphasis include: children, 0-14 years old; young adults, 15-24 years
old; adults, 25-64; and seniors 65 years and older. Promotion and prevention
programs conducted in the City of Shawnee are listed below by area of emphasis.

GROUPS
3. PROGRAMS THAT TARGET HIGH-RISK GROUPS AND ENVIRONMENTS, AND VULNERABLE
High-risk injury groups in Pottawatomie County and the City of Shawnee are cited
below.
Pottawatomie County
Between 2000-2006, 348 Pottawatomie County residents died as a result of an injury.
Seventy-four percent of injury deaths were a result of unintentional injuries, 19% were
suicides, 4% were homicides, and 4% were a result of other causes of injury. Males
accounted for 67% of injury deaths and females accounted for 33%. The greatest
number of injury deaths were among Native Americans (10.4 per 10,000 population)
and whites (9.3 per 10,000 population). The leading causes of injury-related deaths in
Pottawatomie County are cited below. This data was not available by city level.
Traffic crashes accounted for 35% (123 persons) of injury-related deaths (5 were
motorcyclists and 8 were pedestrians). Over half of traffic deaths were among 15-64
year olds; the highest number of traffic deaths was among 15-24 year olds.
Poisonings accounted for 17% (58 persons) of injury-related deaths. Most (79%) of the
poisoning deaths were ruled as unintentional (either prescription or illegal drugs possibly multiple drugs/alcohol). Poisoning deaths occurred most commonly among
persons 15-54 years of age. This is a trend being seen nationally. Painkillers are an
increasing problem associated with unintentional poisoning deaths. Poisoning deaths
are considered unintentional if the person did not take the drugs with the intent of
killing himself or herself. There were no poisoning deaths among children.
Firearms accounted for 15% (53 persons) of the injury-related deaths; the majority of
deaths were among adults 25-54 years old. Most of these deaths (79%) were suicides.
Suffocations accounted for 6% (21 persons) of the injury-related deaths. These deaths
were primarily among adults 55 years of age and older. About half of the suffocations
were suicides (hanging) and half were unintentional.
Falls accounted for 5% (20 persons) of the injury-related deaths. Most fall-related
deaths were among persons 75 years and older.12
City of Shawnee
Injury data for the City of Shawnee was retrieved from the 2006 Oklahoma Hospital
Discharge Database. There were a total of 236 injury-related hospital discharges
among Shawnee residents in 2006. The leading causes of injury-related
hospitalizations are included below.
Falls accounted for almost half (44%; 103 discharges) of all hospitalizations for an
injury among Shawnee residents. The number of fall-related hospitalizations was
highest for persons 65 years and older (71%; 73 discharges), with most falls occurring
among persons 80 years and older.
Page 19 of 23
SAFE Communities America: Shawnee, Oklahoma
Poisonings accounted for 20% (46 discharges) of injury-related hospitalizations.
Persons hospitalized for poisonings were most commonly 25-44 years of age. These
likely represent suicide attempts or unintentional drug overdoses (either prescription
or illegal drugs – possibly multiple drugs/alcohol).
Traffic crashes accounted for 11% (25 discharges) of injury-related hospitalizations (2
were motorcyclists and 2 were pedestrians, 1 unspecified). Ages were fairly and
equally distributed across the life span.13
The high-risk populations in the community mentioned above are regularly involved in
promoting safety and prevention events in injury areas that are specific to their risk
group. Involvement in these types of events is encouraged through strong community
collaborations and partnerships across populations. The community consists of more
than 75 coalitions, organizations, and partners that provide and promote monthly
safety events. These organizations and coalitions, along with the LEPC, consistently
report new community initiatives and community programs which are frequently
highlighted in the Shawnee Outlook; a locally and nationally recognized publication.
Many different programs in the community target high-risk groups. As described
previously, the Police Safety Fair and Wrecked were programs developed in response
to the increasing motor vehicle crashes among young drivers, particularly among 15-24
year olds. Click It or Ticket, Driver’s Distraction Safety Class, Driver’s Safety
Education, Drunk Drivers Prevention Class, Motorcycle Safety Training, and Truancy
Court are also programs that target the specified injury area in this particular
population.
Additional programs addressing high-risk injury areas (falls and poisonings) include the
Balance Safety for Seniors, Medication Management, Poison Prevention Hotline,
Remembering When (Falls/Fire Prevention), Safety Fairs (for all ages), Senior Home
Safety Program, Students Working Against Tobacco (SWAT), and TARWARS Education
Program.
Other programs offered to county and city residents include Project Safe (Women’s
Safety Shelter), HOPE House (Child Abuse Shelter), and Success by Six (Baby Safety
Shower). The Shawnee Family YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association) offers sports
and recreation opportunities and hosts a Kids Safety Fair annually.
INDICATOR 4. PROGRAMS THAT DOCUMENT THE FREQUENCY AND CAUSE OF INJURIES
Injury Data
The Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH), Injury Prevention Service collects
injury data statewide. Injury and death data are collected from the Office of the
Chief Medical Examiner, OSDH Vital Records Division, OSDH Health Care Information
Division, Department of Public Safety, fire departments, police departments, sheriff
departments, and 135 acute care facilities in the state. The Injury Prevention Service
maintains county-specific and city-specific injury data on the following mandated
reportable conditions: burns, submersions, traumatic brain injuries, occupational
fatalities, traffic crashes, and violent deaths. Data are provided to agencies,
Page 20 of 23
SAFE Communities America: Shawnee, Oklahoma
organizations, and the public by request. Data may also be queried on the agency
website, http://www.ok.gov/health/Data_and_Statistics/index.html.
Injury data will continue to be gathered to identify and monitor the safety and injury
prevention needs of the Shawnee community. These findings will aid in the
development of program activities and guide prevention efforts to address these
needs.
The Pottawatomie County Health Department has a close working relationship with the
Injury Prevention Service and has obtained data from them. Data will continue to be
requested on an annual basis for the assessment of injury trends and modification of
program activities in order to continually improve prevention outcomes in the
community.
INDICATOR 5. EVALUATION MEASURES TO ASSESS PROGRAMS, PROCESSES AND EFFECTS OF CHANGE
Based on analysis of injury data, there were a total of 938 hospital discharges among
Shawnee residents in 2007. Fall-related injuries accounted for 169 of these discharges
and 121 discharges were falls among persons 65 years and older. Due to the increase
of fall-related injuries in this population, the City of Shawnee will implement a fall
prevention program and evaluate existing fall prevention programs available to
Shawnee residents 65 years of age and older.
Program Goals
The Pottawatomie County Health Department will be implementing a fall prevention
program to target the increasing number of elderly falls among Shawnee residents.
The program will be based on CDC’s guide, Preventing Falls: How to Develop
Community-based Fall Prevention Programs for Older Adults. The goal is to reduce
the number of fall-related injuries among adults, 65 years of age and older through
the development, implementation, and evaluation of this program.
Program Evaluation
Evaluation of this program will be based on several factors including the number of fall
prevention programs established, the number of participants enrolled, the percent
reduction in participant falls, and the overall community reduction in hospitalized fallrelated injuries.
In the initial stages of this program, Shawnee will assess the current number and types
of fall prevention programs in the City of Shawnee targeting adults 65 and older. The
number of participants who attended previous fall prevention programs as well as
those who are newly enrolled and continue to attend will be monitored. These
elements will be identified with the help of the Oklahoma State Department of
Health, Injury Prevention Service. The number fall-related injuries treated in
hospitals among Shawnee residents will also be evaluated. The Injury Prevention
Service has developed an unintentional falls surveillance form to collect baseline data,
and a draft version of the surveillance form is attached (Attachment D).
Page 21 of 23
SAFE Communities America: Shawnee, Oklahoma
Pre- and post program injury data will be gathered and evaluated to identify safety
and injury prevention needs of the community, and determine the effectiveness of
program efforts. Evaluation data will be used to develop and modify future program
activities to address the needs of citizens, make decisions regarding resources, and
make improvements to influence positive outcomes.
These activities will be conducted in 2009 and evaluation reports will be prepared on a
regular basis. Community partners will be updated on program progress.
