Learn how NLETS facilitates data exchange between states, federal agencies, and justice components using GJXDM, enhancing information sharing and standardizing XML formats for improved law enforcement communication.

Data Model (Global JXDM)Executive Briefing The International Justice and Public Safety Information Sharing Network …A GJXDM Success Story
NLETS and Information Sharing • State owned system connecting all 50 states, territories along with every federal agency with a justice component. • Every agency, province – 500,000+ access pts. • 38 years sharing data – the hub for interstate exchange • NLETS has always “dictated” the data format for use of the system – was proprietary – now is GJXDM
NLETS Past… • NLETS does not hold data • Proprietary data formats were used to connect disparate state and federal systems • Causing extensive custom programming at each NLETS interface user • NLETS-FBI, same customers – different specifications • Causing the states to write a second interface, driving up costs and maintenance issues
NLETS today • Still supporting proprietary data formats - but no new services will be offered in legacy. • Transitioned all NLETS transactions and responses to GJXDM 3.0.x - all schemas are completed • Currently accepting nearly 1 million FBI-CJIS-III CCH transactions per month in XML • Doing hundreds of thousands of bidirectional transformations (Legacy – XML – Legacy) daily
NLETS Today • Kentucky, Maine and Wisconsin are sending and receiving XML rapsheets across NLETS • Pilot to standardize drivers license records across state lines over NLETS is underway BJA/NIJ funded project (CANDLE). • Using GJXDM XML
Efforts to proliferate XML • NLETS has held two developers conferences to generate interest and vet the specification among state, local and federal developers • Multiple states are adopting NLETS specification and planning upgrades to interface • Exponential growth of GJXDM being seen in state and locals
Ongoing efforts • Accelerated Information Sharing for Law Enforcement • Third iteration underway. AISLE, AISLE plus, AISLE 2 with NY, DE, WI to share GJXDM 3.0 end to end between these states • Western Demo Project, in support of the NCISP – sharing information in GJXDM 3.0 using NLETS between regional information systems. • All using GJXDM XML
Partnerships • FBI for XML Rap-sheets • FBI for common data exchange formats (GJXDM 3.0.x) • RISS, DEA and HIDTA’s for National Virtual Pointer System (NVPS) • Operation Respond for Hazmat • NOAA for weather • All using GJXDM XML
Partnerships…. • Amber Alert Consortium for interstate Amber notification for justice enterprise • Pilot pending in Missouri • NLETS ORI’s geo-spatially enhanced • Amber Alert areas expand as time passes - NLETS to carry notification to justice from one location to another based upon ORI • All using GJXDM XML
NLETS XML Futures • Creating a Service Oriented Architecture • Extend deployment within our community, information sharing among a trusted groups using GJXDM and web services • Reach into local data where appropriate/allowed • Pilot cooperative, broad-based trial initiatives to improve information sharing led by NLETS, PBS, ComCARE Alliance • Create an NLETS “Google” type capability with those with the insight, courage and technology to do so
Conclusion • NLETS is one of the “center square” justice systems - early investment and involvement was imperative • Started with very little state support • State and locals should want and expect leadership from systems like NLETS, but historically we have let them down • Without strong national leadership information sharing will continue -business as usual!Whatever you call it, standardized XML is the first step to improved sharing
