Description
The Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative (Global) serves as a Federal
Advisory Committee (FAC) and advises the U.S. Attorney General on justice
information sharing and integration initiatives. Global was created to support
the broad scale exchange of pertinent justice and public safety information. It
promotes standards-based electronic information exchange to provide the justice
community with timely, accurate, complete, and accessible information in a
secure and trusted environment.
Global is a ''group of groups,'' representing more than 30 independent
organizations, spanning the spectrum of law enforcement, judicial, correctional,
and related bodies. Member organizations participate in Global with a shared
responsibility and shared belief that, together, they can bring about positive
change by making recommendations and supporting the initiatives of the U.S.
Department of Justice (DOJ).
To help steer and facilitate Global efforts, the U.S. Attorney General reached
out to key personnel from local, state, tribal, federal, and international
justice entities to form the Global Advisory Committee (GAC). GAC's efforts have
direct impact on the work of 4 million justice and public safety professionals
and positions Global to impact citizens of the United States, Canada, and
beyond.
Global's mission-the efficient sharing of data among justice entities-is at the
very heart of modern public safety and law enforcement.
The GAC includes agency executives and policymakers, automation planners and
managers, information practitioners, and, most importantly, end users. This last
group distinguishes GAC as a committee whose members remain actively dedicated
to information sharing because they continue to be producers, consumers, and
administrators of crucial justice-related data. GAC membership reflects the
tenet that the entire justice community must be involved in information
exchange. Experts represent the following constituencies:
* Law enforcement agencies
* Prosecutors
* Public defenders
* Courts
* Corrections agencies
* Probation and parole departments
* Additional agencies directly involved in the justice process.
The GAC operates in accordance with the Federal Advisory
Committee Act provisions and convenes up to twice a year in Washington, DC.
Meetings are announced in the Federal Register(link is external), and the public
is welcome to attend as observers.
The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) aids the member organizations of Global,
and the people they serve, through a series of important initiatives. These
include the facilitation of GAC Groups; development of technology standards,
such as the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM); creation of white papers
on data sharing issues, such as the National Criminal Intelligence Sharing Plan
(NCISP); and the dissemination of information via the Global website.
The GAC establishes groups, such as short-term adhoc task teams, to work
collaboratively to address policy, connectivity, and jurisdictional issues that
hamper effective justice information sharing. Global groups are comprised of GAC
members and other subject experts who expand GAC's knowledge and experience. The
groups are formed around timely issues impacting justice information sharing.
The work of the GAC has implications of the highest importance-making it the
foremost voice for justice information sharing.
GLOBAL STRATEGIC PLAN
Since inception, the Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative (Global)
Advisory Committee (GAC) has taken significant steps to join disparate
components of the justice community into a cohesive effort. Technological
advances offer new hope that broadscale justice information sharing can become a
reality. The Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative Strategic Plan
addresses the technical, programmatic, and policy issues involved in carrying
out the justice information sharing mission and outlines Global's mission
statement, the GAC's guiding principles, Global's objectives for implementing
its mission, and outreach methods.
WHITE PAPER ON THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE GLOBAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE
This white paper details the mission of the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ)
Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative (Global) Advisory Committee
(GAC). It discusses challenges faced, current priorities, and successes to
date. More important, it captures how DOJ’s Global Initiative is working to
help achieve its most important, overarching goal—continued protection of the
American people.
