Chief Michael Haslip, Blaine Police Dept.
Suzette McLeod, Program Mgr, IJIS Institute
Heather Ruzbasan, LEITSC PM, IACP
Today’s Session:
• The Partnership & Governance Structure– Enabling quality work @ a reasonable cost
• The Process– Forming a team and building IEPDs
• The Results– Supporting key CAD and RMS exchanges
• What We Learned– And…mistakes you can avoid
Partnership for this Project
• BJA Sponsored Our Effort
• APCO supplied Project 36 documentation & Monitoring Station SMEs
• LEITSC defined need for IEPs in recent CAD & RMS Functional Specifications & law enforcement SMEs
• IJIS Institute provided IEPD development management and industry SMEs
The Future Requires We;
• Build perpetual partnerships with other associations and agencies
• Recognize competencies and expertise of “partners”
• Leverage existing infrastructure of “partners”
• Share, share, and share information, work products, and time.
Governance Model
• Authoritative Owners
• Steering Committee
• Working teams
• IJIS Staff
• IJIS Contracted IEPD Experts
Clear Goals & Objectives
Provide for LEITSC, APCO, BJA, & public safety community publication of IEP reference documents that support the top ten public safety data exchanges

What is an IEPD?
XML
XML stands for EXtensible Markup Language and is much like HTML. While HTML was designed to assist in defining how data looks or is displayed, however, XML was designed to describe data.
GJXDM
XML descriptions (tags) are not pre-defined so the Global Justice XML Data Model was created to assist in defining national tags for justice related information exchanges.
IEP
The Global JXDM approach is to construct and utilize exchange packets (IEPs or GIEPs) with GJXDM components anytime data is shared between systems, agencies, and juristictions.
An IEP Document is a package of exchange artifacts that serve as reference materials. The package includes GJXDM-conformant model schemas used “as is” or extended to meet individual jurisdictional requirements and it also includes associated documentation that help implementers understand the information exchange.

Today’s Session:
Some Advice to Consider• Define the authoritative owner and governance
structure early• Create a strawman before the first modeling
meeting by doing some homework• Be open to refining your exchanges once you get
the experts in the room• Make sure you have a diverse yet balanced team in
the modeling sessions• Have key roles appointed to support sessions;
• A facilitator with modeling expertise• A tool jockey capturing element data• A documenter who captures all the discussions, assumptions,
and implementation thoughts
Some More Advice• Don’t overlook the need to validate the
mapping after the working sessions• Start sessions by having team members
share their systems, processes, etc… to bring words to life
• Have an aggressive outreach and communication strategy where a diverse team shares project objectives and progress
• Seek and support Pilots, HelpDesk, and TA support to validate work and share real-life success stories
• Acknowledge and support varied levels of automation and exchange partner trust
Don’t ……………..• Forget to check the IEPD Clearinghouse
• Overwrite your modeling work; especially late in the day
• Don’t rush the modeling; if you are struggling consider refining IEP purpose
• Schedule heavy agenda items after a full day of modeling
• Get hung up on implementation issues
• Forget to order afternoon caffeine and snacks
