History of Information Sharing in Kentucky

• Unified Criminal Justice Information System

(UCJIS)

– 1998 House Bill 455 – State and local justice representatives – Established a vision and mission – Developed an implementation plan

Jail System

Court System Probation & Parole System Juvenile System State Systems Various Warrant Processes Prosecution System

Integration Challenges

• Multiple User Organizations • Disparate Communication Environment • Different User Perspectives • Privacy Concerns • Multiple Legacy Systems • Multiple Technical Environments • Juveniles

Information Sharing Initiatives

• Computerized Criminal History • Mutual Aid • Wireless Data • KyWINS Messenger • JusticeXChange • eWarrants • Kentucky Open Portal Solution (KyOPS)

Computerized Criminal History

• Replaced 20 year old legacy system • Enhanced functionality/usability of criminal history system • FBI III compliance • Improved sharing of information • Court disposition information • Violation information • Participation in the National Fingerprint File • Electronic data sharing (Automated Fingerprint ID System) • File purging

Recognition

Kentucky’s Mutual Aid Project

2006 NASCIO Recognition Awards Business Continuity WINNER: Kentucky

KY Wireless Interoperable Network (KyWINS)

• Completed in June 2006 • Built using IPMobileNet 800 MHz as the standard • 165 base stations across the Commonwealth • Emphasis placed on using existing public access towers to keep down recurring costs • Wireless speed is 19.2 Kbs and based on TCP/IP traffic • Any program using TCP/IP with the speed limitations will work on KyWINS • 1087 units and 1517 users hosted (50 departments and 3 Agencies)

KyWINS Messenger

• Messaging Interoperability – The purpose of this pilot project is to evaluate an instant messaging program (KYWINS Messenger) that can be used by all public safety agencies in the Commonwealth.

• The system must use the statewide wireless data systems and work regardless of the mobile computer software they are using

KyWINS Messenger

• Allows state and local agencies to communicate over the wireless network • Can be used by all public safety agencies across the state regardless of the mobile software they have chosen to use • Major step toward establishing interoperable communications between ALL first responders • The software is free to all agencies • The software can be installed in vehicles as well as on office based computers. This can allow critical command level staff to stay in touch with field staff

JusticeXChange

• Near Real-time “who’s in jail” database • Information sharing solution for justice agencies nationwide • Contains: – Mugshots – Incident reports – Detailed booking information • 100% of KY jail beds • Nearly 50% jail beds nationwide • Nearly 600 KY users

eWarrants

• Standardizes & automates the arrest warrants process through a computerized database • Provides greater availability of outstanding warrant information for law enforcement authorities statewide • Uses “electronic” signatures which improve efficiency in the workflow • Judges and county attorneys access the system through individual “workbaskets”

KyOPS

KyOPS

• • • • • • • • • •

KyOPS includes the following Programs: E-CRASH (Collision Reports) E-Crime (Summary UCR Crime Reports) E-Citation (Criminal & Traffic Citations) E-Courtesy Notice (Traffic Warnings) E-CRASH Scan (Data Extraction from 2D Barcodes) E-CRIME Scan (Data Extraction from 2D Barcodes) E-NIBRS (Incident-Based Reporting) E-Crime Supplement E-Call Response E-Intel (Field Intelligence Reporting)

KyOPS E-Intel Report

• Officers can inform the Fusion Center of suspicious behavior- real time • Fusion Center determines routing: – File for future reference – Contact submitting agency for additional information – Forward to FBI and/or JTTF • Online since December 2005 • Several hundred reports received to date

KyOPS Future Reporting

• • • • • • • • • • •

KyOPS includes the following Programs

:

E-CRASH (Collision Reports) E-Crime (Summary UCR Crime Reports) E-Citation (Criminal & Traffic Citations) E-Courtesy Notice (Traffic Warnings) E-CRASH Scan (Data Extraction from 2D Barcodes) E-CRIME Scan (Data Extraction from 2D Barcodes) E-NIBRS (Incident-Based Reporting) E-Crime Supplement E-Call Response E-Intel (Field Intelligence Reporting) E-NFIRS (National Fire Incident Reporting System)

KyOPS Features and Functionality

• • •

Wizard-Based Applications: KSP patterned KyOPS after Turbo Tax. The KyOPS programs ask preliminary interview questions. Based upon the answers, the user is required to complete data that is pertinent to their report.

•

2D Barcode Scanning: KyOPS users can scan more than 37 different state driver’s licenses to input into the electronic collection applications.

Diagramming Tools: EasyStreetDraw and CrimeScenePD have been integrated into KyOPS to enable officers to diagram collision and crime scenes within KyOPS. Supervisor Approval: After completion of the electronic wizard, the reports are forwarded to the Supervisor for review.

KyOPS Web Portal Functionality

•

Simple Document Search: Authorized users can search for imaged Collision, Crime, and Citations documents. After retrieving the document(s), the user can view or print the documents.

•

Advanced Data Query: Allows authorized users to perform complex queries to retrieve collisions that satisfy the search criteria. An example includes:

– – – – –

Collisions from 01/01/2004 to 12/31/2004 Agency ORI includes all 16 KSP Post Number Killed in the Collision is Greater than 0 Roadway Number is Interstate 71 Roadway Condition Code is Wet

KyOPS Reports, Extracts, and Mapping

• • •

Management Reports: Authorized users request Management Reports to analyze Collision, Citations, and Crime data. (Example: High Accident Locations, Summary of Collisions by Time Period, Reported Fatal Collisions by County, etc.) Extracts: Law enforcement, transportation, and federal agencies utilize KSP Data Extracts to update their existing applications. (Example: RMS Extract, SafetyNet, CarFax, etc.) Creation of Maps: The KSP GIS staff utilizes the KyOPS data to produce maps that identify high accident and crime data for specified periods of time. (Example: Produce a map where more than 5 collisions occurred in the same location over the past 5 years during the 4 th of July holiday)

KyOPS Standardized, Formatted Reports

KyOPS: Extracts from Advanced Queries

Mapping of Data Results from Advanced Queries
