Overview:

The pilot sites of the National JIS Initiative (NJISI) in FY2009 are addressing all three components of the OJJDP NJISI model. The three components are collaboration, privacy and confidentiality, and technology. The pilot sites, located in the State of Colorado, were selected because of their established collaborative organization and because their consumers have a shared interest in improving procedures and policies of information sharing across state agencies, local agencies, youth and juvenile services and consumers within the community.

CND is delivering technical assistance to the two pilot sites to implement and evaluate the Guidelines for Juvenile Information Sharing, deploy and assess jurisdiction-specific data exchanges and the Information Exchange Package Documentation (IEPD)[1] process using the Juvenile Justice XML Data Model, while enhancing and modifying the data model to ensure its compliance with the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM).
