Premier leaders and practitioners from across the justice landscape met October 8, 2019 Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative (Global) Advisory Committee (GAC, Committee) Meeting at the Office of Justice Programs offices. To maximize resources and provide opportunities for Global engagement by an even greater range of subject-matter experts (SME), the majority of hands-on Committee efforts are conducted virtually. However, once a year, this collaborative Federal Advisory Committee, under the long-standing guidance and support of the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), meets face-to-face to highlight innovative technology and policy practices and resources, support replication of promising projects and solutions, and prioritize national issues that can be advanced through better justice information and intelligence sharing and coordination. The long-standing volunteer commitment of this collective of the best and brightest justice and public safety executives, practitioners, and key stakeholders (including industry) from all levels of government continues to advance tenets of BJA’s and the DOJ’s missions: to ensure public safety against threats foreign and domestic, to provide federal leadership in preventing and controlling crime, and—ultimately—to make our nation’s communities safer. Highlights include: • Welcoming new members; • Exploring national justice priorities; • Receiving updates on key justice information and intelligence sharing activities; • Promoting new Global-supported resources for the field; • Conducting Global business; and, • Providing engagement opportunities through several membership roundtables. IIR staff will work closely with BJA to plan and execute this very successful event. IIR staff members maintained regular contact with the chair and vice chair of the GAC, as well as with the Designated Federal Official of Global, to ensure that the GAC event is well-prepared for, including arrangement of meeting logistics, development of meeting agenda, follow-up of assignments and action items from previous meetings, notification to the GAC of meeting logistics and agenda items to be discussed, invitation of presenters and guests, facilitation of the meeting, documentation of meeting proceedings, and processing of reimbursements.
This meeting was held as one of two annual GAC in-person meetings and focused on information sharing strategies within the criminal justice communities and the development of new policies, strategies, and technology implementation related to justice reform and change.
