What is Global?
• The Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative (Global)
operates under the support and guidance of the Bureau of
Justice Assistance (BJA) and Office of Justice Programs
(OJP), U.S. Department of Justice
• Global advises the federal government, specifically
through the U.S. Attorney General and the Assistant
Attorney General, OJP, on justice information sharing and
integration initiatives

Who is Global?—The Global Advisory
Committee
• 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)
• The GAC works collaboratively to address policy,
connectivity, and jurisdictional issues to facilitate effective
justice information sharing

and other subject-matter experts, expand the GAC’s
knowledge and experience

Global Security Working Group
• Pursues security measures for today’s enhanced
information sharing abilities
• Produces security guidelines and promising practices for
trusted information sharing
• Developing recommendations for a federated privilege
and identity management system to provide users with a
trusted credential for access into other justice systems
• Developing recommendations for a framework for trusted
information sharing

Global Infrastructure/Standards
Working Group (GISWG)
• Successful data exchange is greatly facilitated by the
development and adoption of standards that enable transparent
integration of disparate systems
– GISWG is implementing a coordination process to identify information
sharing standards within the justice community
• GJXDM
• NIEM
– GISWG is developing a conceptual framework—the Justice Reference
Architecture—to best facilitate standards-based justice information
exchange while considering attendant privacy and security issues

GISWG
(continued)
• This effort includes publishing, cataloging, and sharing
these standards to promote collaborative efforts and offer
blueprints to those beginning the information exchange
planning process

Global Intelligence Working Group (GIWG)/
Criminal Intelligence Coordinating Council (CICC)
• GIWG was formed to develop the National Criminal Intelligence
Sharing Plan (NCISP) as described in “Criminal Intelligence
Sharing: A National Plan for Intelligence-Led Policing at the Local,
State, and Federal Levels—Recommendations From the IACP
Intelligence Summit”
• CICC provides guidance and advice in connection with the
implementation and refinement of the NCISP
• Serve as advocates for local law enforcement in their efforts to
develop and share criminal intelligence for the promotion of public
safety and the security of our nation

The Fusion
Center Guidelines
• Guidelines support a collaborative
effort of two or more agencies that
provide resources, expertise,
and/or information to the center
with the goal of maximizing the
ability to detect, prevent,
investigate, apprehend, and
respond to criminal and terrorist
activity

Privacy Policy Development Guide and
Implementation Templates
• Geared toward the justice practitioner charged with
developing or revising an agency’s privacy policy
• A practical, hands-on resource that provides sensible
guidance for developing a privacy policy
• This guide is the next logical step for those justice
entities that are ready to move beyond awareness
into the actual policy development process
• It assists agencies in articulating privacy obligations
in a manner that protects the justice agency, the
individual, and the public and makes it easier to do
what is necessary—share critical justice information

Global Justice Extensible Markup Language
(XML) Data Model (GJXDM)
• XML standard designed for criminal justice information
exchanges
• Provides law enforcement, public safety, prosecutors,
public defenders, and the judicial branch with a tool to
effectively share data and information in a timely manner
• Removes the burden from agencies to independently
create exchange standards
• Incorporates flexibility to deal with unique agency
requirements and changes
• Enables access from multiple sources and reuse in
multiple applications

A Framework for Justice Information Sharing:
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)
• Intended for the manager and policymaker
who are responsible for providing
leadership, resources, and management in
the justice community
• Most likely to result in an infrastructure
supporting Global’s vision of how
information should be shared among the
justice community
www.it.ojp.gov/global
United States
Department of Justice
Information Quality
• This resource—targeted towards
justice leaders and justice
information sharing system
administrators—emphasizes the
importance of good, or “quality,”
data that enables agencies to
perform their jobs efficiently and
effectively
www.it.ojp.gov/global
United States

Applying Security Practices to Justice
Information Sharing
• Developed to educate justice executives
and managers in security practices
• For deployment within their agencies
and among multiple agencies
• Contains background information,
overviews of best practices, and
guidelines to secure information sharing
www.it.ojp.gov/global
United States

National Information Exchange Model
(NIEM)
• A collaborative effort of Global, DOJ, and the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
• Provides the foundation and building blocks for
national-level interoperable information sharing
and data exchange
• Will develop partnerships, provide collaborations,
and present a unified strategy that will enable the
entire justice and public safety community to
effectively share information at all levels
• Utilizes GJXDM as the base technology
