ABOUT CJIS

The Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) Governing Board has several subcommittees and Working Groups, for more information please contact the appropriate contact person listed below. OPM has taken the central leadership role in the coordination of the development of technology to benefit the state's decentralized criminal justice system.  Through the Connecticut Justice Information System (CJIS) initiative, several component projects are aimed at bringing greater cohesion and effectiveness to our criminal justice system by improving the way we communicate and share information across system components, and how we manage data on crime and criminal offenders. CJIS -- Connecticut's Justice Information System -- is the umbrella term for the information system activity among the agencies with justice responsibilities in Connecticut.  These agencies are: Department of Public Safety, Division of State Police Judicial Branch's Office of Chief Court Administrator [PDF] Judicial Branch's Court Support Services Division [PDF] Division of Criminal Justice, Office of the Chief State's Attorney Division of Public Defender Services, Office of Chief Public Defender Department of Correction Board of Pardons and Paroles Department of Motor Vehicles Office of Victim Advocate Department of Emergency Management and Homeland Security Office of Policy and Management, Criminal Justice Policy and Planning Division Department of Information Technology Connecticut Police Chiefs Association The agency commissioners are members of the CJIS Governing Board to establish direction and policy on justice information. Agency designees comprise a CJIS Implementation Group to facilitate the coordination and integration of CJIS programs. CJIS encompasses programs or projects which generally incorporate interagency initiatives, data sharing, and enhancement of agency capabilities for justice information management. CJIS relates to both federal and state programs. A CJIS program initiative, known as the "Offender Based Tracking System", is the kingpin in bringing many different information systems together to more effectively and efficiently track offenders. The projects being carried out in support of Connecticut's Justice Information System (CJIS) are funded and managed within its program components.
