Critical Juncture for Criminal Justice Information Sharing, Competing Priorities, and Opportunities Ron Hawley, Executive Director
Setting the stage… … or can you predict your future?! • I believe we can predict the future… • How many of you think you can predict the future? • Lets take a little test to see how psychic we are….
Highlights for you consideration… … or there is a lot to think about! • Information Sharing… • The future of our criminal history record data… • Funding and Measurements… • Privacy and the transparency of our world…
Information sharing… …What’s taking place? • Proliferation of information sharing on local, regional and national levels… • N-DEx (National Data Exchange Project – FBI) • R-DEx (Regional Data Exchange Projects) • LEISP (Law Enforcement Information Sharing Program – US DOJ) • NIEM (National Information Exchange Model – DHS) • Interoperability Projects – DHS • Interoperability Projects – COPS • Fusion Centers • GLOBAL • etc…
Growing demand for background checks… … sure wish I’d predicted this! • In 2002 FBI criminal history record information (CHRI) checks for non criminal justice purposes first exceeds criminal justice numbers… • 1500 state statues authorizing access to the national CHRI records… • A 2001 survey of state criminal repositories revealed 29 states with a policy that its own records could be accessed by “anybody”… • Governmental sources out distanced by private information providers…
As if growing demand was not enough… … now come the other pressures. • Court automation continues to make more information available… • More and more purposes are deemed appropriate… • Other biometrics are being attached to CHRI… • The “national system” for one-stop shopping still eludes us…
Funding and Measurements… …or fewer dollars equals more justification! • Federal criminal justice funding continues to compete with the war on terrorism and the deficit… • The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) is feeling greater pressure to show their programs are worthy… • More and more demand being placed on the dollars to show dividends…
A person’s privacy……or protecting against the transparency… • Identity theft is beginning to get the attention it deserves… • The national debate for policy regulating those who harvest our information is in high gear… • But what about the greater access to that which has always been public record… • Has this nation lost the ability for one to pay their debt to society…
Throughout, there are opportunities… • Now, we believe you can help predict the future… • And by doing so, begin to see the solutions…
