Network Configuration (satellite)
• TxDPS provides subnet of static IP addresses
• HN7700 has Ethernet port
• Single Device (not on a network)
– Connects directly into HN7700 with a standard
cable
• Multiple devices
– May use our IP addresses with a standard Switch
– May use NAT to translate our addresses using
enterprise level router
– May choose to use two NIC cards
Local Agency Challenges
• Agency participants neglect to review TxDPS provided
documentation
http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/director_staff/information_management/tlets/tletsindex.htm
• Documentation and Process is lengthy
• Agency technical staff non-existent or too busy.
• Agency does not prepare their network prior to scheduled
date.
• Some difficulty with scheduling interface vendors
• Agency does not own necessary equipment
• Agency believes the move is optional
Questions/Comments
about Re-Engineering?
NLETS Chief Project
• Criminal History Information Exchange Format
• Purpose:
– Support Bureau of Justice Statistics National Criminal
History Improvement Program (BJS, NCHIP)
– Leverage standards expected from National Information
Exchange Model (NIEM)
– Proof of Concept: facilitating State efforts to implement
the standardized rap sheet in XML, either using GJXDM
or NIEM
NLETS CHIEF Project
• NLETS will serve as custodian of the national standard Rap
Sheet technical specifications, software artifacts and
documentation
• NLETS to advance and promote the standardized Rap Sheet
and facilitate Joint Task Force initiatives
• Development of Rap Sheet Information Exchange Package
Documentation (IEPD) which is NIEM conformant
CHIEF Pilot States
Florida
Kentucky
Maine
Massachusetts
Pennsylvania
Texas
New York
Wisconsin
CHIEF Objectives
• Develop strategies and tools to transform between GJXDM
and NIEM
• Support the Joint Task Force in the development of a Next
Generation Rap Sheet with additional content and
presentation formatting
• Develop Service Oriented Architectural frameworks in the
pilot states
• Provide comprehensive statistics to support crime
prevention and recidivism efforts
• Document “Lessons Learned” and recommend extensions
and/or revisions to the NIEM
Architecture
CHIEF Project
• Exchange of NIEM compliant CCH information:
– Between TLETS & the Criminal History Database
– Between TLETS & NLETS
– Between TLETS and TLETS interfaces (FUTURE)
• Status
– TxDPS CCH currently uses GJXDM 3.0 RAP internally
– NIEM 2.0 RAP Specification completed
– CCH to begin transmitting RAP responses NIEM 2.0
XML documents by Fall, 2008
Impact to Criminal Justice Agencies
• Text RAP will still exist, but format may change
• In the future:
– the RAP can be transmitted as an XML document to the
local criminal justice agency
– Or Not (State will continue to provide a Text Format)
• TxDPS will contribute a style sheet to format the
RAP XML document as a PDF file.
