ITSI Supports the Development of Integrated Criminal Justice Systems

"It has become a national imperative that the justice community improve the way it uses information to enforce our laws. No longer can federal, state, and county agencies think and act in isolation. Information that is captured at every step in the justice process must be available for authorized access on a broad scale soon after it is created. This a the challenge of integrated justice: sharing investigative data, coordinating the events surrounding a court case; improving process efficiency; providing updates to the public; and building systems that link events, people, property, and evidence in a consistent and comprehensive way.

In the real world of implementing integrated justice information systems (IJIS), security concerns pose a significant challenge. The process of building IJIS systems increases the interface points among internal computer systems, trading partners, and the public. Electronic interaction occurs more frequently and involves a broader range of information exchange and transactions. While the overall effect on productivity and service quality is extremely positive, valuable information resources will likely see increased exposure to the risk of privacy violation and security breach.”*
