11 Nlets BUSINESS MODEL 11 Nlets identifies potential funding sources Nlets applies for funding Nlets extends funding directly to the states via their vendors Nlets aids the state/vendor in planning & execution Nlets monitors the continued success of the project ( lessons learned )

12 Project Case Studies: CHIEF LOGIC

13 CHIEF 13 Nlets is helping states to standardize the exchange of Rap Sheets using extensible Markup Language (XML) supported by funding from the Bureau of Justice Statistics Criminal History Information Exchange Format Nlets Overview 6/11/2009

14 CHIEF PROJECT STATUS Migrated the Interstate Criminal History Transmission Specification Version 3.01 (Rap Sheet) to a Version 4.0 conformant with the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM)

15 CHIEF PROJECT STATUS Developed and installed XML transformation services on the Nlets network 3. Created an environment to support statistical analysis of criminal record check transactions 4. Supports XML Rap Sheet transmission in states XML

16 STATES IMPLEMENTING CHIEF 16 Oregon Wisconsin Iowa Maine Massachusetts Pennsylvania North Carolina Texas Tennessee

17 CHIEF: LESSONS LEARNED Once Nlets completed the GJXDM to NIEM transformation other transformations are relatively easy. States do not have to wait until the latest version of the standards before moving to implementation Once a state codes to an XML standard the transformation to NIEM can be handled by Nlets.

18 CHIEF: LESSONS LEARNED Problem: neither the GJXDM nor the NIEM format adequately address the degree for the Grade of Crime to satisfy National Instant Check System (NICS) background check processing. Displays Felony or Misdemeanor, but not the degree of felony or misdemeanor. (1, 2, 3, etc.) Misdemeanor of the first degree (M1) can be same as felony for NICS purposes. NICS only sees Misdemeanor on RAP Sheet. Had to call State Police on every such case to find out if it was M1, M2, or M3. No suitable tag in either GJXDM or NIEM schema exists to provide degree of crime.

19 CHIEF: LESSONS LEARNED Solution Utilize two existing NIEM tags to provide appropriate NICS information. j:personfirearmsalesdisqualifiedindicator Valid values are D, X, and C. Displayed with appropriate indicator, the values are: D Disqualified X Unknown or Pending C Cleared Combined and displayed on RAP in Caution Information, only if Purpose Code F used. Examples: FIREARMS DISQUALIFIED STATUS D- DISQUALIFIED FIREARMS DISQUALIFIED STATUS X- UNKNOWN OR PENDING FIREARMS DISQUALIFIED STATUS C- CLEARED NICS no longer needs to call State Police on each misdemeanor.

20 CHIEF PHASE 2 Nlets has been awarded an additional grant from BJS to help more states implement the standardized rap sheet. Support the development of a Version 4.1: Synchronize AFIS input properties with CHRI output properties Capture juvenile arrests Expand offender race and ethnicity variables (?) Analyze additional state requirements

21 POTENTIAL CHIEF 2 STATES 21 PHASE 2 Alabama Louisiana Arkansas Maryland California Michigan Colorado Mississippi Florida Missouri Hawaii Nebraska Indiana New Hampshire Kansas New York Kentucky South Carolina

22 CHIEF BENEFITS 22 Standardized Rap Sheets improve the effectiveness of justice and public safety professionals. Better information for making decisions on detention, pre trial release, appropriate charge enhancement, determinate sentencing, and correctional intake classification.

23 CHIEF BENEFITS 23 Streamlined background checks for national security, employment, licensing and related economic purposes, as required under recent federal legislation Improved statistical analysis of the efficacy of supervision conditions and offender participation in treatment programs

24 CHIEF BENEFITS Valuable Lessons Learned for conversion of existing GJXDM messages Better understanding of cost/effort to migrate to NIEM and experience for future NIEM efforts States will be in line with the information sharing goals of Nlets and NCIC States may be in better position for future funding considerations

25 CHIEF BENEFITS NIEM component reusability helps to reduce development costs for future projects. Standardized message content supports interoperability Architectural approach provided reusable transmission logic, e.g., web services

26 LOGIC 26 Nlets received a GIS grant from the National Institute of Justice to test the feasibility of providing geospatial information capabilities to law enforcement and public safety. LIVE Operational Geospatial Information Capability Nlets Overview 6/11/2009

27 LOGIC PILOT STATES

28 28 The LOGIC project will create the Nlets infrastructure to deliver GIS capabilities using XML and government approved standards for the exchange of geospatial information. Nlets Overview 6/11/2009

29 29 LOGIC SUMMARY Potential GIS capabilities include: Location-based alert notification, including electronic image transfer APBs AMBER Alerts BOLOs Homeland Security Alert notices Weather alerts Nlets Overview 6/11/2009

30 LOGIC SUMMARY 30 GIS tool capability for use in mobile and handheld computers Geo-coding capability enabling law enforcement access and use of external data sets Large-structure 3-D geo-coding and tools for capturing, marking and identifying details and key data Nlets Overview 6/11/2009

31 LOGIC OVERVIEW 31 Provide powerful GIS-based services on a national basis to facilitate important missions Extend common and interoperable GIS capabilities to facilitate collaboration, enable informed multi-jurisdictional decision-making, and support efficient and effective cross-sector incident management Nlets Overview 6/11/2009

32 LOGIC OVERVIEW 32 Provide agencies an invaluable shared operational picture Support effective cooperation through display of multiple data streams from disparate sources in the readily understood contexts of location and time Nlets Overview 6/11/2009

33 33 With the Nlets organization and member community as the ideal proving ground, Nlets will collaborate closely with participating members to demonstrate the feasibility, utility and economy of common and interoperable location-based information services. Nlets Overview 6/11/2009

34 LOGIC OBJECTIVES 34 To provide rich interstate geospatial information services to public safety components. To establish the Nlets infrastructure needed to deliver strong GIS capabilities while observing applicable standards for geospatial information use. Nlets Overview 6/11/2009

35 LOGIC OBJECTIVES 35 Specific outcomes will include: GIS tool compatibility for use in mobile and handheld operating environments Multiple source and multiple format spatial data visualization from local, state and federal RMS databases and GIS platforms Nlets Overview 6/11/2009

36 LOGIC OBJECTIVES 36 Identification, extraction and display of relationships and patterns hidden in large, complex data Event-based resource allocation/distribution models suitable for operations, planning and training Geo-coding capability enabling law enforcement access/use of external data sets

37 LOGIC BENEFITS 37 Provide rich location-based information services. Incorporate geospatial capabilities into technical specifications to be conveyed to member states for broad adoption Develop/test standards-based image exchange capabilities supporting authorized notifications and alerts. Improve collaboration, informed decision making and effective cross-boundary incident response.

39 LOGIC INTERFACE 39 The LOGIC portal enables greater specificity in alerts and messaging by allowing the user to visually lasso ORIs on the map and filter by type to ensure the message is only delivered to relevant entities.

40 LOGIC INTERFACE 40 The portal builds a list of recipients that can be modified dynamically using the layer control on the right.

41 LOGIC INTERFACE 41 The portal can be extended to incorporate live feeds, such as GeoRSS, KML and WMS feeds. Above, a live traffic camera feed is displayed.
