LONG TERM VISION
LONG TERM VISION• CURRENT:
• Siloed information due to the fragmented structure of the criminal justice system
LONG TERM VISION• CURRENT:
• Siloed information due to the fragmented structure of the criminal justice system
• STRUCTURE: • CJCC – type bodies provide a vehicle for using technology more
collaboratively to break down OR connect those siloes systematically, including (eventually) governance of sharing agreements and data usage.

• EXPECTATIONS: 20 year project• Coloring in the wall metaphor
• Supermarket metaphor
WHY LOCAL DATA INTEGRATION GRANTS?• Open ended, ground up approach. We want to identify:
• local priorities based on local variables• priorities that are common to multiple districts• as many collective needs as possible to include in report back to State
Legislature
• Design Thinking - Vase Example
• Coopetition more than competition
You tell us problem and the proposed solution! We pay! (If we can!)
WHY CJCC APPROVAL?
• To ensure key stakeholder decision makers are informed about any applications submitted and have had an opportunity for input
• To ensure collaboration has occurred in the application drafting process among 2+ CJCC stakeholders
• Exact process will depend on your local CJCC.
APPLICATION PROCESS
TIMELINE:
• JULY 15: application packet released
• JULY 15- AUGUST 15: additional webinars planned, including potential • vendor demos• brainstorming assistance
• AUGUST 15: applications due by 5pm
• SEPTEMBER 1: grants awarded, contract and vendor selection process begins
• HIGH REACHING GOAL - OCTOBER 1: work begins
APPLICATION PACKET• Still in development but…
• …will aim to be fairly open ended
• As light as possible: ID the problem, PROPOSE a solution, PROVIDE some background information.
• Will ask for as many applications as your district can generate
• Will ask for broad stroke budget numbers. More important will be the level of collaboration and vision behind the idea.
THE MOST COMPETITIVE IDEAS WILL:
❑ Have BREADTH: i.e. benefit at least 3 criminal justice stakeholders (more = better)
❑ Have DEPTH: i.e. solves consensus priority needs.
❑ Aim to take a small bite out of a BIG apple: • Can provide tangible benefit in 1 year• Will enable additional future development to solve additional needs• Take an iterative, modular, micro-services approach to technology development
❑ Allow for, immediately or in the future:• Easier access to data from external users (APIs etc)• Cleaner processes that lead to cleaner data entry / maintenance
❑ AND/OR: Lead to cost savings and efficiencies in logistics or other system processes
WHAT NOW?
WHO TO INVITE TO PARTICIPATE:
• Anyone with insight and breadth of knowledge about:❑ Sending or receiving information to and from their entity to external
partners (includes IPRA)
❑ Records management
❑ IT / Networking
❑ Data management
❑ Business processes and flows with external partners
STEPS:
1. Assemble group of representatives from relevant CJCC partners
2. Inform them of process and program
3. Gather ideas from the group, brainstorm
4. Compile into a wish list
5. As a group, evaluate wish list and prioritize by vote
6. Identify which top ideas match application criteria the best
7. Identify:• sponsor entity for that idea / application• partner entities to assist the sponsor• Individual(s) to draft the application
8. Gain CJCC approval
9. Submit to NMSC on August 15
WISHLIST SPREADSHEET TOOL• GOAL: identify consensus priorities.
• USES: Google Sheets – allows for collaboration from multiple stakeholders remotely
• If you’re a stakeholder with an idea: find your own section of empty space on Tab 1, enter background info on the idea(s) for others to review.
• If you’re the group coordinator:• Encourage all representatives to vote before you meet on Tabs 2 (BREADTH) and 3 (DEPTH)• Before the meeting, prep Tab 6 by sorting ideas to show highest votes
• As a group: • Optional: discuss which ideas are similar (Tab 4) and what broad stroke start-up costs might be (Tab
5) • Required: Using scores on Tab 6, discuss which ideas meet group’s goals the most
SAMPLE IDEAS• Court Processes:
• Access to real time court disposition information• Automate calendaring information• Automate notice of hearings
• Custody Related: • Where is an individual being held? • Are they under supervision?• Are they in the infirmary? • Do they need to be on or taken off the transport list?
• Warrant Related:• Enable law enforcement and jails to get most updated warrant information possible. • Is the person alive? (DOH Death certificates)• Was the warrant quashed or cancelled? • Is there an outstanding warrant in another county before a jail release?
• High frequency utilizers / familiar faces –• pull data from multiple sources to gather real-time information about the most frequent utilizers across the system. ER
visits, multiple arrests, treatment needs or costs in jail, flag for diversion, etc.
STILL TO COME AS TIME ALLOWS:
• Demos from prospective vendors with examples of projects from other states and local jurisdictions
• Data integration research and background information (not just a NM effort)
