What’s the Issue?
In 2002, OJA held statewide strategic planning meetings
including:
• law enforcement, sheriffs & jail staff
• district attorneys & public defenders
• court staff & judges
• probation and parole
• health and human services
• county emergency planning
• community services
#1 Priority: Information Sharing
Attendees cited a need to go
“beyond existing systems
by creating a secure statewide
information sharing system”.
But It’s Complicated…
 Over 600 independent law enforcement agencies
 71 prosecutor offices
 69 circuit courts
 State agencies including:
 Department of Justice,
 Department of Corrections,
 Department of Natural Resources, and
 Department of Transportation;
 Office of Justice Assistance and the
 State Public Defenders Office.

What is Justice Information Sharing?
Data Interoperability: The electronic exchange of
information to fill gaps in criminal histories, reduce
redundant and erroneous data entry, and improve accuracy
and timeliness of justice data.
Data Access: The ability to view information collected
and maintained by other justice organizations to provide
more and better information for improved decision-making
and increased officer safety.
Event Notification: The automated notification of new
events involving people, locations, vehicles or property of
interest to improve investigation efficiency and effectiveness.

WIJIS Gateway is on the Way!
 A secure single point of access to justice
information with the capability to:
 View information stored on disparate
systems,
 Facilitate the electronic exchange of
information between participating systems,
and
 Alert users to new information or changes to
information previously obtained.
The WIJIS Gateway will…
 Enable agencies to participate regardless of
agency size, records management vendor or
access to BadgerNet.
 Deliver flexible search capabilities and provide
results in a user-friendly format that does not
require extensive training to interpret.
 Provide access without slowing partner systems.
The WIJIS Gateway will…
 Identify users and authorize access to
information based on the user’s role in the
justice system.
 Provide a secure network for data exchanges
and access only by authorized users.
 Maintain information integrity and protect citizen
privacy.
This is how it could work…

Other Uses of the Justice
Gateway Architecture: Data
Integration
• Electronic Referrals (LE to DA)
• Incident-Based Reporting (IBR)
Crime Data (LE to OJA-SAC)
LE to DA eReferral
The eReferral is an electronic exchange
of defendant and offense data from the
law enforcement agency to the District
Attorney.

How Does the WIJIS Gateway
Facilitate eReferrals?
• Contributors can submit data through the
Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) using the WIJIS
Global Justice XML Standard
• Gateway participants will have already mapped
their systems to GJXML
• Both WIJIS and DAs are interested in data
contained on the referral and can work on a
strategy for submitting information ONE TIME for
multiple purposes
Benefits of eReferral
• Elimination of multiple data entry points
• Reduced time to transfer of information
from Law Enforcement Agency to
District Attorneys Office
IBR Reporting
The National Incident Based Reporting
System (NIBRS) is an incident-based
reporting system for crimes known to the
police.
For each crime incident coming to the
attention of law enforcement, a variety of
data are collected about the incident.
It will eventually replace summary Uniform
Crime Reporting (UCR).

Incident-Based Reporting (IBR)
How Does the WIJIS Gateway
Facilitate IBR Reporting?
• Contributors can submit IBR data through the
Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) using traditional
flat file standards or using the WIJIS Global
Justice XML Standard
• Gateway participants will have already
mapped their systems to GJXML
• Both WIJIS and IBR are interested in incident
report data and can work on a strategy for
retrieving information ONE TIME for multiple
purposes
Benefits of IBR Reporting
• Higher quality national crime statistics.
• Agencies will be able to view and query
their own data as well as other
agencies through new SAC web
services.
