  1. Montana Integrated Justice Information System BrokerImplementing StandardsBased Information Exchanges in Montana MCAA Summer Training July 2009 Mike Jacobson Montana Department of Justice IT Project Manager

  2. Key Concepts • Collaboration: • Systems integration & information sharing in the justice domain is a collaborative & cooperative effort across branches of government. • Integration • Principles of integration and design • Standards • A standards based approach leverages resources and simplifies data exchange throughout the “enterprise”. • Commonalities • There are common characteristics and requirements for all exchanges. • Architecture • An information exchange architecture is necessary for successful electronic information exchange between governmental entities.

  3. Profile: Montana • Large geographic area • 147,046 square miles • Covers the Mountain Time Zone • Widely dispersed population (902,195 people) • Large number of autonomous justice practitioners • Law Enforcement Agencies – 120+ • Prosecutors – 56+ • Courts – 200+ • State Agencies – 3 • Limited technical resources and funding

  4. Consequences of Information Silos • Information Silos occur when each data owner has its own disparate system for storing and retrieving information that is incapable of reciprocal operation with other, related management systems • Incomplete driver histories because of non-standard reporting and dependency on manual paper process • People driving while license is suspended • Felony DUI cases not being properly pursued • Reinstated drivers being inappropriately cited • Incomplete criminal history records without court dispositions because of dependency on manual reporting process • Prosecutor charging decisions being made without a complete criminal history • Law Enforcement operating without adequate information to ensure public safety • State licensing and public hiring decisions being made with incomplete data • State and local agencies not meeting requirements for crime victim notification • Uncoordinated and incomplete reporting to victims of crime causing undue and unnecessary stress • Non-standard approach difficult for victims of crime to understand and receive benefit of notification service

  5. IJIS Project Organization

  6. IJIS Mission • Develop a broad capability for justice information sharing that: • Provides complete accurate and timely information among governmental entities and the public • Delivers a cost-effective, standards based platform for local and state use to allow best practices of information sharing • Is extendable beyond the initial information exchanges being addressed • Protects the privacy rights of citizens • Maintains the security of the information • Avoids unnecessary duplication

  7. Solution Design Principals • Facilitating business process is the fundamental driving force • Information should be captured once, at the point or origin, and be re-used throughout the enterprise • Participants must retain the right to design, construct and operate information systems that support their own business requirements • Re-use of the existing information technology capabilities is essential and required • The integrated system will ensure traceability of persons, related events and information exchanges within the justice business processes • The integrated system will be standards based to ensure the greatest degree of inter-operability

  8. Body of Work Leveraged • Publications: • Concept for the Operations for Integrated Justice Information Sharing – NASCIO • Roadmap for Integrated Justice: A Guide for Planning and Management – SEARCH • A Framework for Justice Information Sharing: Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) -- Global Infrastructure/Standards Working Group • Building Exchange Content Using the Global Justice XML Data Model: A User Guide for Practitioners and Developers – Bureau of Justice Statistics • GJXDM Information Exchange Package Documentation Guidelines- GJXDM XML Structure Task Force • Justice Data Standards and Tools • Global Justice XML Data Model – Office of Justice Programs • Global JXDM Schema Subset Generation Tool – Georgia Tech Resource Institute • GJXDM Wayfarer 2.0 - National Center for the State Courts • Justice Information Exchange Modeling – SEARCH • Emerging Standards • Addressing migration to NIEM 2.0 in future phases • Justice Reference Architecture (JRA)

  9. Realized Advantages • Reaped ideas, concepts, and work of similarly situated groups trying to solve the same problem • Adopting the recommendations and standards fast tracked several key decisions that could have otherwise stalled out a project of this size and complexity • Provides a common vocabulary for discussing information exchange among diverse justice practitioners • Applying the provided concepts and tools works

  10. Information Exchanges • Establish IJIS Broker Environment • Driver History Reporting • Criminal Photo Repository Population and Dissemination • Enhanced E2E Fingerprint Processing • e-Citation Filing • Enterprise Exchange/Crime Victim Notification • Arrest Booking • Pre-sentence Investigation • e-Judgment/Disposition • Electronic Crime Victim Notification

  11. Why These? • Identifiable business driver • Funding available • Partnerships identified

  12. Expected & Realized Business Benefits • Reduce redundant data entry • Reduce delays in the flow of information between agencies • Improve information available to agencies • Improve staff productivity • Reduce dependence on other stakeholder organization’s response resources • Reduce time locating information or data • Improve data integrity • Improve acquisition of data for policy and planning decisions • Improve efficiencies in the administration of justice • Improve public safety in Montana

  13. IJIS Broker Technology • Web Services Enterprise Service Bus • Creation of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) using XML Technologies • 1st in the State of Montana • XML – Data content standard • XSD – Data content compliance • XSLT - Data transformation and translation • WSDL – Service creation and deployment • BPEL – Business process execution and monitoring long term transaction state

  14. Production Environment • Software • AIX Operating System • FTP • SMTP • PERL Script • Oracle J2EE Application Server • Hibernate • Enterprise Java Bean • JMS • IJIS Broker • Enterprise Service Bus • Web Service Hosting • BPEL Execution • Oracle RDBMS • Persistent Data Storage • Apache Web Server • Schema Validation • Java Server Page • User Interface • Hardware • Cisco 11501 Content Switches • Application Servers • Dell Intel Dual Core 2.8 GHz/2 MB Cache Processor • 12 GB Ram • Database Servers • IBM PowerPC Dual Core 2.5 GH/2 MB Cache Processor • 8 GB RAM • Storage Area Network • IBM N5200 1GB ISCSI

  15. Crime Victim Notification • Automated submission of offender status from arrest booking through court onto correctional status and release • Participants • Victim Advocates • County Attorney’s • Montana Supreme Court Office of the Court Administrator • Montana Department of Justice • Montana Department of Corrections • Design Highlights • Subscription based on-line system • Secure Web application for victims, advocates and others • Email notifications of status changes • Establishment of enterprise values to use across information exchanges • Benefit • Increased reporting of court findings and actions • Better and more complete information • Current status being stored centrally • Better Criminal History • Better access to information through whole case • Elimination of paper based submission and entry

  16. Current Challenges • Resources to complete development, testing and implementation • Finding different ways of sharing information during testing phase • Funding • SAVIN Grant Complete • NCHIP Grant • State Agency Budget Cuts • Defining the line between system processing and IJIS Broker processing (e.g. what part of your infrastructure is responsible for what processing) • Identifying and creating enterprise values shared between all criminal justice systems • Identifying the enterprise linking of the same information being captured in different systems • Coordination of information technology providers in agency and vendor communities that provide the systems being integrated • Multiple people trying to control project and vendors which is slowing progress
