Illinois Integrated Justice Information System
The Illinois Integrated Justice Information System (IIJIS) Implementation Board is an intergovernmental effort dedicated to improving the administration of justice by facilitating the electronic sharing of justice information throughout the state.
The IIJIS Implementation Board continued in its efforts to develop a plan for statewide integrated criminal justice information sharing in FY11. Work of the Implementation Board was handled by Plan­ning & Policy, Technical, Outreach, and Funding
committees.
In FY11, the committees continued to pursue goals of the Strategic Direction for Enterprise Infor­mation Sharing 2009-2012.
The Planning & Policy Committee developed strategic, tactical, and project plans that will improve the electronic sharing of critical information through­out Illinois’ justice system. The committee is also responsible for developing policies to ensure the ap­propriate collection, use, and dissemination of justice information.
The Technical Committee continued its focus on securing reliable, effective, and efficient informa­tion technology infrastructure that facilitates justice information sharing. The Technical Committee continued review of exchange points involved in the Court and Bond Hearing process and conducting a detailed analysis of the existing IT infrastructures throughout the state. The committee also identified existing successful technical architectures that could be used as a framework for developing the technical architecture model for integrated justice in Illinois.
The Outreach Committee continued efforts to raise awareness of the IIJIS initiative. This committee informs justice practitioners and the public about the benefits of developing an integrated justice system in Illinois and publishes the IIJIS electronic newslet­ter. In FY11, the committee developed educational materials to facilitate the recruitment of members and support for the IIJIS initiative.
