Technology Standards - NIEM

Meeting of the CJTFG / Global Task Team on Non-Traditional Information Exchanges in Tallahassee, FL to complete the characterization and prioritization of non-traditional criminal justice information exchanges, notably exchanges between community corrections, clients, and external service providers.

SEARCH provides support for NAJIS as the only practitioner event that focuses on information sharing. SEARCH promotes the adoption and use of national standards when developing presentations for the NAJIS annual conference. Participation promotes national standards and resources available to conference participants who generally represent state and local practitioners with responsibilities for acquiring and implementing technology within the justice community.

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.

On May 15, 2017, premier leaders and practitioners from across the justice landscape convened for the Spring 2017 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.

IIR staff members maintain regular contact with the chair and vice chair of the Global Advisory Committee (GAC), as well as with the Designated Federal Official of Global, to ensure that Global Executive Steering Committee (GESC) Planning Sessions are adequately prepared for, including arrangement of meeting logistics, development of meeting agendas, follow-up of assignments and action items from previous meetings, notification to membership of meeting logistics and agenda items to be discussed, facilitation of the meetings, documentation of meeting proceedings, and processing of reimbursem

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. For this reporting period, JTTAC virtual meetings were held in January, March, and May. However, staff is always monitoring TTA and JIS community activities with an eye toward JTTAC conference call agenda items and resources and activities of interest to relay to the JTTAC team.

This high-level briefing is specifically geared for executives, managers, and policymakers who want to learn more about the benefits of implementing NIEM. This briefing will provide basic definitions and foundational concepts and provide the information needed to enable decision makers to understand the value and applications of NIEM. Session Topics will include:
• NIEM Overview and Introduction
• NIEM’s Benefits and Impacts
• NIEM Governance
• NIEM Value Proposition
• NIEM Success Stories
• NIEM and the Global Reference Architecture

The Client is requesting technology assistance from the BJA/IJIS Institute TA program to address and focus on the following areas:
• Development of a comprehensive data sharing plan
• Identify justice and health exchanges
o moving from paper exchanges to electronic ones
o Identification of priority performance measures
o Definition for each measure and the data elements needs
• Determination of methods for centralized data and performance measure reporting
