law enforcement information technology

LEITSC was created in 2002 with funding (Grant Number 2002-LD-BX-0002) from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance and continued in 2003 with funding (Grant Number 2003-MU-BX-0068) through a collaborative effort between the Bureau of Justice Assistance and the National Institute of Justice. LEITSC is currently funded under the Bureau of Justice Assistance (Grant Number 2003-MU-BX-0068) and continues to work in cooperation with the National Institute of Justice.
LEITSC is comprised of four of the nation’s leading law enforcement organizations, specifically, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE), National Sheriffs’ Association (NSA), and Police Executive Research Forum (PERF).
The mission of LEITSC is to foster the growth of strategic planning and implementation of integrated justice systems. Together, participants from these organizations represent the law enforcement community as a whole on information technology standards related issues.
The LEITSC council will:
Promote the development and implementation of information technology standards;
Provide advice to the nation’s law enforcement community on technical aspects of IT standards;
Share practical solutions; and
Represent the voice of law enforcement in the expansion of justice and public safety information technology standards.
The efforts of this initiative will ultimately influence the integration of justice information technology solutions that meet the technical, practical and political needs of the public safety community and the citizens they serve.
LEITSC has proven its strength and commitment to this endeavor by providing access to law enforcement experts to give input to standards development initiatives, creating outreach and training opportunities to keep law enforcement executives engaged in the process, and continuing to leverage collaboration and work that is currently underway to address the information technology needs of the law enforcement community. The law enforcement community understands the value of using information technology standards in their technology implementation, and over the last few years, significant progress has been made in the development and implementation of information technology standards to advance information sharing.
Projects within the Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative (Global), such as the Global Justice XML Data Model (GJXDM) and the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM), continue to evolve and develop standards that aim to ease information sharing across disciplinary lines from the law enforcement community to public safety to other social service areas. Through all of this, LEITSC has continued to promote information technology standards by exercising leadership and has brought the issues associated with information sharing to the forefront of the law enforcement executive’s agenda.
