Description: The "Data Integration Project," commonly known as the Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) Project, referenced in the Phase II report was always considered one element of a multi-year, multi-phased business tool enhancement. The technical solution for this project incorporated standards that would lay the foundation to allow future data sharing with external agencies. The goal of this project is to bring together a seamless weave of justice system practitioners, within the Whatcom county government, who could share data entry responsibilities, data verification and editing, database use for day-to-day operations, and aggregate justice system data for proactive planning and budgeting. In other words, a system that would share much of the information needed by each agency for the day to day processing of offenders in the criminal justice system.
