Multiple projects to improve the electronic sharing of information among justice agencies were undertaken in 1998. These include creating a roadmap for IJIS efforts, starting work on a Wisconsin criminal justice data dictionary, and developing a plan for BJIS, DOJ and CCAP to share telecommunications links with county courthouses. This is just the beginning of what could be possible in reducing redundant data entry and improving public safety gaps that currently exist.
Progress also occurred in several areas relating to district attorney information technology (DA IT). In 1998, BJIS worked hard installing and supporting 16 state standard local area networks (LANs) connected to county and state networks (WANs), training and supporting users in 16 LAN and 55 DA Net offices, developing a prototype of a Wisconsin-specific DA case management system (PROTECT), and creating a BJIS DA Support Center to replace CCAP support.
New projects in response to Executive Order 341 (Year 2000 Preparedness) were also initiated. BJIS established a Public Safety Functional Team to address state public safety agency Y2K preparedness. BJIS also began identifying critical areas of Y2K action related to counties, interdependencies among public safety agencies and public communication about Y2K. Educating DA's about Y2K issues affecting their offices was completed as was ensuring Y2K compliance of all BJIS equipment and software installed in DA offices.
All three of these efforts are in full swing and have begun to bear fruits of considerable effort. With the support of the legislature, BJIS can help improve public safety and bring efficiency to government by working to improve both the communication between agencies and by providing the basic infra structure needed to be effective.
