GUIDELINES FOR DEVELOPING AN INTEGRATED STATEWIDE SYSTEM OF INFORMATION COLLECTION AND DISTRIBUTION.
Abstract
PRIMARY GOALS ARE TO ESTABLISH A SYSTEM TO COLLECT, STORE, AND DISSEMINATE DATA NEEDED FOR AGENCY SUPPORT, ENSURE THAT INDIVIDUAL AGENCIES ARE SERVED WITH THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE SYSTEMS, AND CREATE A LINKING TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK. STANDARDS ARE ESTABLISHED FOR INTER-SYSTEM COMMUNICATION AND TO INSURE INTEGRITY AND SECURITY OF DATA. THE PLAN CALLS FOR A STATISTICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE OPERATION OF THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. THIS MANUAL IDENTIFIES THE VARIOUS LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT AND THEIR REQUIREMENTS FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE INFORMATION. A SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM OF AGENCY PRIORITIES IS PRESENTED. TECHNICAL OPERATING STANDARDS AND MANAGEMENT CONTROLS ARE DISCUSSED, IN ADDITION TO PRIVACY AND SECURITY POLICIES. MULTI-YEAR PROJECTIONS THROUGH 1976 ARE INCLUDED. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED)
