Technology Standards - Global Standards

IIR's support team to NFCA's ROSA project met with PM-ISE staff to discuss the final toolkit draft revisions and ways forward for project completion.

The Real-time Open Source Analysis (ROSA) Working Group's task team leaders met via teleconference to discuss the ROSA Toolkit and any membership input on the draft.

NW3C staff attended the 2017 Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences Annual Meeting. While there, NW3C hosted a meeting of the White Collar Crime Research Consortium (WCCRC) and presented on data breaches and local governments.

This Global Task Team will identify high-value projects to build on BJA’s initial work by recommending development of technical solution gaps for prioritized justice/health use cases. Pending formal approval by the Global Advisory Committee, the TT’s recommendation package will be delivered to BJA for guidance and leadership in next steps toward solution development. (This may result in additional engagement with/work by the Global community or be remanded to partner organizations and agencies, as deemed most appropriate.)

On September 14-16, 2016, IIR staff supported Global’s long-standing industry partner, the IJIS Institute, by participating in the IJIS Institute's Mid-year Briefing. The conference focused on technology and information sharing and safeguarding standards. Technology executives and leaders from industry and government had the opportunity to engage in constructive dialogues (about issues such as technology trends, issues, and solutions) and collaboratively explore various perspectives on the challenges of (and future for) technology and information sharing and safeguarding.

Virtual, online meeting of the CJTFG to review and discuss draft findings and recommendations from group meetings #1-3, as well as discuss several new candidate recommendations and action items. The latter included draft recommendations on requiring data to be exportable from core criminal justice records systems, calling for research on technologies for subduing suspects, and findings on the growing importance of centralized case management in providing services to clients as part of reducing recidivism (and crime) as part of CJ reform.

In October 2016, IIR assisted in the coordination of a face-to-face meeting with members of the NIEM PMO, the NBAC, and the NTAC in Rosslyn, Virginia. The meeting included separate NBAC and NTAC sessions, as well as joint sessions of both groups and the NIEM PMO.

This task team was formed, in part, in response to a document drafted by members of the Criminal Justice Technology Forecasting Group (CJTFG), supported by RAND on behalf of BJA, to support the following task approved by the GESC: Solve specific justice/health exchanges using consistent architectural approaches to minimize costs and increase interoperability.

IIR supports the efforts of the Bureau of Justice Assistance’s (BJA) Justice Information Sharing (JIS) Training and Technical Assistance Committee (JTTAC) through the planning, agenda development, hosting, and action item follow-up of standing bi-monthly conference calls.
