- Description
- REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI). The US Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs (OJP), provides federal leadership in developing the nation's capacity to prevent and control crime, improve the criminal and juvenile justice systems, increase knowledge about crime and related issues, and assist victims of crime. Through the programs developed and funded by its bureaus and offices, OJP works to form partnerships among federal, state, and local government officials to control drug abuse and trafficking; reduce and prevent crime; rehabilitate neighborhoods; improve the administration of justice in America; meet the needs of victims of crime; and address problems such as gang violence, prison crowding, juvenile crime, and white-collar crime. Among other programs, OJP sponsors information sharing initiatives to improve the effectiveness and fairness of the justice system through better information sharing among all its components, including juvenile justice, law enforcement, prosecution, defense, adult courts, corrections, probation and parole. Justice leaders place top priority on integrating information systems in order to: improve the operational efficiency of the justice process among stakeholders & across jurisdictions; provide all justice personnel critical information needed for their safety and to enhance service in a cost-effective manner; and to allow decision-makers to uphold the fundamental ideals of the justice system. One of the programs supported by OJP to meet its mission is the Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative (Global). Global is a “group of groups”, representing more than thirty independent organizations spanning the spectrum of law enforcement, judicial, correctional and related bodies representing Federal, state, local and tribal agencies. The Global Advisory Council (GAC) operates under the auspices of the OJP and advises the Federal government, specifically, through the Assistant Attorney General, OJP and the US Attorney General. The focus of Global is to promote more efficient sharing of data among justice entities by facilitating standards-based electronic information exchange throughout the justice and public safety communities. The broad scope of the effort is fundamental and crucial to its success. The Global Executive Steering Committee (GESC) provides leadership for the GAC. Global aids its member organizations and the people they serve through a series of initiatives, including facilitating Global working groups, developing technology standards such as the Global Justice XML Data Model (GJXDM), creating white papers on data sharing issues such as the National Criminal Intelligence Sharing Plan, and disseminating information via Global-related Web sites. The work of Global and the GAC is primarily carried out in Working Groups. There are currently four Working Groups, which may at times be supported by subcommittees. Work products of these groups are submitted for consideration and approval by the GAC in its advisory role. The Criminal Intelligence Coordinating Council (CICC) was established in support of the National Criminal Intelligence Sharing Plan. The CICC will initially act as another subcommittee or Working Group under the auspices of the GAC. Additional information about Global may be found on the Web at: http://it.ojp.gov. OJP requests information from potential offerors as to their capabilities of providing management support to Global and the Designated Federal Official (DFO) including, but not limited to (1) Logistical support: coordinate site and facility selection, schedule, and announce meetings; provide on-site meeting management; facilitate coordination of public relations needs; provide post-meeting support, including coordinating reimbursement of travel expenses for attendees; assist in coordinating conference calls and other meeting support; ensure notices of GAC meetings, in coordination with DFO, are published in the Federal Register.
