Introduction
Several initiatives involving amassing requirements for automated integrated
justice information systems and data standards are currently on-going at
local, state and national levels. Without some cooperative effort,
we will end up with many sets of "non-standard" standards and replicated
software application solutions.
Members of TCJIUG saw the problem arising and sought to find a means
of creating meaningful output from all the effort through cooperation and
agreement as to the objectives of standardization, collective determination
of systems requirements and methods to realization of 21st century justice
information systems.
TCJIUG has agreed to provide the forum for various agencies to meet
and discuss the problems and advancements in the effort. The organization
has agreed to sponsor the IJIS Committee at the annual TCJIUG conference
and to host special meetings during the year between conferences.
News
The next TIJIS (www.tijis.org) meeting will be held in conjunction with the Texas Criminal Justice Information Users Group Conference for 2007 at the Omni Corpus Christi Hotel – Bayfront from April 29-May 4, 2007. The TIJIS Steering Committee meeting will be held on Tuesday May 1, 2006 from 10:15am to 11:30am. Due to the recent accomplishments in the area of Texas integrated justice information systems, this should be a very informative meeting.
