Washington’s Approach to Justice Integration

1. Washington’s Approach to Justice Integration Global Justice Users’ Conference August 22, 2007 Chicago, IL Mo West, JIN Program Manager Steven Scott, JIN Developer

2. Information Sharing • A necessary requirement in the criminal justice system. • Crosses jurisdictional lines and levels of government. • Information is found in multiple systems with multiple user requirements

3. Collecting and sharing data from multiple sources is: Time consuming Inaccurate Incomplete Outdated Just plain frustrating The mission of the JIN Program is to make justice information Timely Accurate Complete CJIA-RCW 10.98 passed in 1984 The Problem

4. The Justice ‘System’

5. Alternative Approaches • Point-to-point connections • Central repository • Decentralized exchanges

6. The Solution: The Justice Information Network Data Exchange (JINDEX) Decentralized Exchanges: SOA Creating access and automation among multiple systems that results in information that is: • Timely • Accurate • Complete • Up-to-date

7. JIN Applications • Possible Criminal History and Case and Criminal History (PCH/CACH)-increased access • Statewide Electronic Collision Ticket Online Reporting (SECTOR)-automated workflow • The Justice Information Network Data Exchange (JINDEX): the common denominator

8. PCH/CACH • Searches disparate data sources with a singe query • Exchanges information regardless of the existing technology infrastructure • Increases access to additional data sources and end-users

9. Criminal History 1 Protection Orders Warrants Driver Info JINDEX 2 4 5 Case History 3 Court Information JIS Overview ACCESS JINDEX 4 5 3 JIS

14. SECTOR • Automates the traffic citation and collision reporting process between WSP, AOC, DOL, and DOT • Common ticket and collision specification between participants • Prior to SECTOR collision reporting could take weeks -- now completed in seconds

15. SECTOR Workflow

16. SECTOR Results • Went live on April 3, 2007 with tickets and collisions • Over 15,000 tickets, collisions, and dispositions processed through the JINDEX • 10 courts processing tickets; all courts scheduled to go live in July

17. Development Review • We needed to address our development process • Applications achieved goal but lacked consistent development approach • Established IEPD Policy-identified the use of standards • Assist with operational components not included in IEPDs

18. Next Steps for JINDEX • Legislative support to expand services statewide • Goal is to begin services in: • 15 counties over FY08 • 22 remaining counties in FY09 • Support development of new applications that further automate and share justice information

19. The ‘How’ Steven Scott, JIN Program Applications Development

20. JIN Service Architecture

21. Providing JIN Services • Standardize the services we provide. • Define services that support the JIN Mission, Goals, and Objectives • Standardize the creation and enhancement of services. • IEPD Process, Development Tools, Applications, Systems Architecture • Standardize service integration with data consumers and providers. • Define system integration requirements for interfacing to centralized services • Standardize System administration. • Define and enforce policies that support systems integration, service governance, Service Level Agreements

22. JIN Service Model

23. Reliance on standards Reusable Business Input Loose Coupling Provides context and predictable outcomes No need to start from scratch End user involvement = effective results Minimize changes among participant agencies; responsive to changing policies Benefits and Impact
