Information Sharing
Arizona’s Plan
• A state-driven approach to information
sharing
• Efficiency and accuracy that begins
with ID through final disposition
• Best possible data for use by local, sate
and federal intelligence analysts
• Leveraging the best for the benefit of all
Information Sharing
Current Initiatives Throughout the State
¾Local & Regional Projects / lead generation & crime
information analysis (RISC, AZLink)
¾County Projects / real-time, secure data sharing
allows agencies to query other databases
¾Automated Warrant System
¾eCitation Pilots / Disposition Information Exchange
¾Wireless 2 print ID & “hot spot” testing
¾Forensic Information Exchange Projects
AZ Integrated CJ Information Systems (AZ ICJIS)

NFSTC: Vision & Mission
•
Located in Largo, FL, the NFSTC provides goods and services
at no-cost to forensic service providers through:
• Training
• Technical Assistance
• Community Support
•
Our Vision is for the forensic science community and its users
to have complete confidence in the quality of the science
provided to the justice community.
•
Our Mission is that we are dedicated to assisting the forensic
sciences in the achievement of the highest level of quality
services for the justice community.
NFSTC History & Funding
• The American Society of Crime Laboratory
Directors (ASCLD) established the NFSTC as a
private not-for-profit corporation in 1995.
• Programs funded through a Cooperative
Agreement with:
Office of Justice Programs (OJP)
National Institute of Justice
Forensic Science Facts
• Forensic Science is one of
the most important crime
fighting tools available to
the criminal justice community
• It is used not only to
investigate crime, but also to eliminate
suspects and exonerate the wrongly
accused and/or convicted
Forensic Science & Technology
•
The use of forensic science technology
is expected to increase and evolve as
research scientists advance the science
and scope and breadth of its application
•
In order to realize its full potential to solve and prevent
crime, forensic science information must become an
integral component of global justice information sharing
systems.
Information Sharing Challenges
• Specialized Data Bases
– AFIS, NIBIN, CODIS, LIMS
•
•
•
•
•
Lack of Interoperability
Vendor Driven Specifications
Restricted Access to Systems
Under Use of Forensic Information
Lack of Data Connections with Courts
and Law Enforcement
A Powerful Case for a Forensic
Information Data Exchange
The National Information
Exchange Model (NIEM), and the
Global Justice XML Data Model
(GJXDM), provide a powerful
case for the development of a
Forensic Information Data
Exchange (FIDEX).
National Information
Exchange Model (NIEM)
Universal / Common:
Items that exist & have
same semantic meaning
across all domains
Domain Specific:
Items with semantic
meaning only in its
domain
FIDEX Domain???
FIDEX & LIMS
• Where does the forensic evidence
information come from?
– Laboratory Information Management
Systems (LIMS) are an excellent source of
forensic information
– The exchange of data using FIDEX will
allow information from LIMS to be shared
with the justice community
FIDEX Concept
Criminal Justice Information
Data Bases
• IAFIS – Integrated Automated
Fingerprint Identification System
• CODIS – Combined DNA Index
System
• NIBIN – National Integrated
Ballistics Information Network
• CJIS – Criminal Justice Information
System
• NCIC – National Crime Information
Center
• NCMEC – National Center for
Missing and Exploited Children
Information Sharing Challenges
• “Knowledge is Power”
– Reluctance to Share
Information
• “Stove Piped Systems”
– Inability to Share
Information
• Proprietary systems
• No transparent
connections
We Are All in the Same Boat !
• Information Sharing

Modeling
•
Develop a high-level business process
–
–
–
–
•
Scenario Based
Provides context
Define scope
Prioritize exchanges
Develop data requirements model
– Identify and define key data elements
– Identify key data relationships
•
•
•
Cross-Reference to National Information Exchange Model
(NIEM)
Develop XML Schema
Develop XML Document Instance
24
Business Process Analysis
• Model of how
information flows
between organizations
• Not prescriptive
• Develop common
understanding of
process terms
• Inventory of documents
• Hybrid of BPEL and
JIEM methodology
25
Business Process Analysis
26
Business Process Validation
• Narrowly focused
validation of priority
exchanges
• Identification of missing
and unclear exchanges,
etc.
• Review validated
process flow and
estimate overall impact
27
Workflow Modeling
• Document internal
steps relevant to
exchange process
y Definition of system
requirements for
verification of message,
validation, etc.
y Evaluation of source
and target data store
y Usually done locally
(not at national level)
28
Data Modeling & Mapping
• Identification of data
requirements from a
exchange perspective
• Document-based
common data model
• Review of existing
forms may identify
initial requirements
• Component Based
• Implementation
agnostic
29
Forensic Case Submission Exchange
Case Disposition Reporting Exchange
Schema Development
• Development of XML
Schema to support data
requirements
• Work product is
technical specification
• Expect to require
multiple revisions
