Day Two: Tuesday, February 9

8:30-9 a.m.	Keynote Address
	The Honorable Janet Reno, U.S. Attorney General

9-9:30 a.m.: Funding Issues and Challenges Plenary
During this plenary, attendees will explore one of the most formidable challenges to successful IT implementation: funding for government information technology projects. Not only is funding typically scarce, when it is available, it often comes in piecemeal format -- there are few funding sources for "integrated justice information systems" specifically, yet there is often funding for specific components of the system, such as law enforcement mobile computing, or a court case management system. How can funding streams be coordinated and maximized for optimum integrated systems funding? How can justice agencies "step outside the box" and exploit innovative and alternative funding solutions such as partnerships, user fees, etc.? Finally, IT solutions require continued funding support for the long term, a provision that is crucial to the long-term success of the system, but often overlooked. How can justice agencies effect a change in the traditional approaches to incorporate the systems development life cycle and long-term funding support for the system?
Speaker:
Mr. Steve E. Kolodney, Chief Information Officer, State of Washington

10 a.m.-Noon: Breakout Sessions
Securing Funding for the Integrated System
A panel for Executives

8:30-9:20 a.m.: Managing the Integrated System for the Long Term Plenary
This plenary session will explore how a jurisdiction provides long-term maintenance and support well beyond the initial planning, design, building and implementation stages of the integrated system. Organizational mechanisms must be developed that govern the integrated system and that are capable of evolving as the systems mature. How does a jurisdiction build a dynamic organizational structure for the system that focuses on effective management and on-going planning? How can the management structure encourage shared decisionmaking that recognizes the operational priorities of the constituent agencies while coordinating funding and development activities? Importantly, the management structure must contemplate the varying agency responsibilities associated with different levels of government, constitutional separation of powers, privacy and confidentiality of the data, and the emerging role of the chief information officer (CIO) at the state level. How are maintenance plans developed and long-term decisions made? How does a jurisdiction coordinate the shift to joint funding and maintenance of the system between agencies, and the continuous challenges of ensuring privacy and confidentiality of system data and securing the data that is shared and/or made public?
Speaker:
Mr. Paul Leuba, Senior Consultant, IBM

9:30-Noon: Breakout Sessions

1:30-2:15 p.m.: Privacy, Confidentiality and Public Access Plenary
There is growing concern regarding the privacy and confidentiality of information as justice agencies integrate their systems. Data acquires new properties and is transformed, in a very real sense, when it is combined or merged (or appears to be merged) with other sources of information. Judges and other decision-makers are increasingly concerned about the integration of domestic (and, in many cases, civil) information with criminal justice systems. For example, does linking divorce data, including financial and health records, in the adjudication process automatically put these records into the public domain? Moreover, does justice processing information, social service data and educational records create a database that, while potentially useful to judges in setting bail and/or determining sentences, violate either explicit or implicit presumptions of confidentiality? These and other corresponding issues will be addressed in this plenary session.
Speaker:
Mr. Robert R. Belair, SEARCH General Counsel

2:15-3 p.m.: Security Issues Plenary
Security of information systems is a very significant concern that must be addressed, and this issue becomes all the more critical once there is interagency communication and linkage. At a minimum, there is need for clearly articulated security policies (governing training, use and access), and the implementation of technical solutions (physical security for hardware; secure communication; trained and qualified staff who have passed rigorous background investigations; encryption and other software applications) to establish and maintain security of agency systems and interagency communications, and the constant assessment of both internal and external security threats.
Speaker:
Ms. Norma Jean Schaefer, Information Technology Consultant, Kansas Bureau of Investigation
