Justice Information
System (DELJIS)

Delaware Criminal
Justice Council
Delaware is fortunate enough
to have one stop shopping for
the delivery of criminal justice
information. This is
accomplished through an
agency known as DELJIS
What is DELJIS?
It is a independent agency
Statutorily created with a clear and
concise mission
DELJIS MISSION is very simple
and complex…..
Recognizing the benefits of an
integrated information management
system, DELJIS, comprised of all its
representative agencies, commits to
provide integrated components, along
with information services and
standards, whenever new or enhanced
information systems, using shared
information, are proposed or created.
How does it work?
One standard reporting tool know as
LEISS
All agencies statewide use the same
report forms and data collection
guidelines
All agencies work in a partnership
And the tools are FREE!
So how do we share data?
The “old way”
The “new way”
You never want to be stuck in the old
way of data exchanges.

Why keep the “Old Way”?
Well there is the comfort factor
If I show someone what I am doing they will
take my job
I do not have time to learn something new
I am overworked
The list of reasons does on and on . . . .
Why use the “New Way”?
The “New Way”
The technology is faster and easier
More time to do your work
Answer management questions faster and
more accurately
Give people a way to control their own
destiny
ASSESS THE SITUATION
Big picture of what agencies wanted from “their data”
Needed something that would answer agencies long
range questions
Many smaller agencies were functioning on their own.
Spending their limited revenue to create reports using
outside vendors
Need to review the overall results we want to achieve
Needed the information “yesterday”
DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
A system that was “EASY TO USE”
No new warehouses - enhance the existing ones
Leverage as much as possible from existing systems
All data would be viewed only when approved
Desk top accessible
One Log-in
Make training quick and painless
What was needed to
accomplish this mission?
SUPPORT from partner
agencies.
