| A
Message from Don Thomas, Agency Director |
|
Welcome
to the official site of the Maricopa County Integrated Criminal
Justice Information System (ICJIS). This department is responsible
for the system integration of the five justice agencies in
Maricopa County - Superior Court, Clerk of the Court, County
Attorney's Office, Sheriff's Office, and Indigent Representation.
The integration facilitates the exchange of data and information
between the agencies in an efficient and cost-efficient manner.
ICJIS
is proud to have been recognized by state and national entities
as one of the more aggressive and comprehensive information
integration efforts in the country.

Background |
|
ICJIS
is a new Maricopa County department, formed in 2000, subsequent
to the passage of Propositions 400 and 401 in 1998. Maricopa County
Board of Supervisors urged voters to adopt the propositions as "vital
public safety measures," funded by the proposed one-fifth cent
sales tax. Proposition 400 specified that "Monies derived from
the tax levied pursuant to this resolution shall be used solely
to 1) Finance construction of new adult and juvenile jail facilities;
2) Maintain and operate adult and juvenile jail facilities; and
3) Fund the following for the puspose of reducing the expense of
adult and juvenile jail facilities: a) Implementing an integrated
criminal justice information system" (and eight other initiatives).
Therefore, the mandated mission of ICJIS is to facilitate the integration
of disparate information systems among Maricopa County criminal
justice departments, for the purpose of reducing expenses resulting
from non-integrated criminal justice systems. Current costs result
from: |
| |
|
- duplicate
redundant data entry and data collection
- criminal
justice departments not sharing data of common interest among
justice and law enforcement departments
- incomplete
and untimely data collection using paper-based processes and
inconsitencies between paper files and computer databases within
and between agencies
- failure
to use a unique common identifier for incidents and offenders
- difficulties
in planning and assessing the effectiveness of criminial justice
programs due to the lack of comprehensive data
