Information Sharing: Challenges, Trends, and Opportunities
The
phrase “information sharing” continues to open new
horizons and has brought together non-traditional partners to
discuss what information is available and what can be shared.
As an introduction to the conference, these
presenters will discuss some of the national information
sharing initiatives—such as fusion centers, N-Dex, and
RISS—that are taking an all-crimes approach to information
sharing. These
initiatives bring agencies from all levels of government to
the table to discuss the opportunities available, the
challenges to be faced, and how crime trends influence sharing
initiatives.

1:30 – 2:45 pm |
Executives: Strategic Planning Principles, Effective Funding, and Oversight
Information sharing initiatives are complex, multi-agency programs typically spanning multiple levels of government. As such, they require formal organizational structure and standing, explicit governance structure and processes, innovative funding, oversight, and ongoing planning to achieve success. During this panel session, learn how one information sharing initiative succeeded in tackling these issues. During the presentation, interactive discussions and audience participation, you will have the opportunity to explore these issues in detail to assist in your own information sharing initiative.

Managers: Information Exchange Modeling/Business Process Mapping
Modeling actual information exchanges is an important and fundamental step to building information sharing capabilities. Beyond identifying critical dimensions and content of the exchange, modeling also provides an important opportunity to map and understand current business processes, identify flaws and impediments to information sharing, and design solutions through process reengineering. This session will explore the goals, expectations, and other practical benefits of using the Justice Information Exchange Modeling (JIEM) tool from the strategic, tactical, and implementation perspectives.

Privacy: Understanding the Needs, Policy, and Approach
Ultimately, the most significant stakeholder in a justice information sharing system is the community it services, whether that is a town, city, county, state, tribe, or
the nation. The failure to recognize and address privacy principles in the design and administration of the system through policy development may limit its utility, or even lead to the project's demise. This session will emphasize the importance of privacy policy to the information sharing system,
discuss strategies for developing privacy policies, and
explore reference tools that facilitate making privacy an inherent guiding principle of information sharing system planning and operation.

Implementers: Service Oriented Architecture
Service
Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an innovative approach to
identifying, designing, and implementing information
exchanges. It promotes the ability to reuse exchanges in new
contexts, reduce overall technology costs, and respond to
changing business and policy requirements quickly and
efficiently. This session will provide an overview of the SOA
approach to information sharing, define what SOA is (and what
it is not), and identify the value proposition of SOA. The
session will briefly discuss methodologies for identifying and
designing services, and how services relate to existing
systems.

which attendees will be encouraged to share their own
implementation experiences and gain insights from expert
panelists.
