THIS VOLUME COMPARES EXISTING DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CRIMINAL JUSTICE INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND RECORDS PRACTICES WITH RECOMMENDATIONS PROPOSED BY THE NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMISSION.

Abstract

IN THIS REGARD, THE DISTRICT'S SYSTEMS COMPARE VERY FAVORABLY WITH THE MAJORITY OF THESE RECOMMENDATIONS. THE PLAN HAS BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT: THE CHANGES IN SYSTEMS SINCE LAST YEAR'S PLAN, INCLUDING SYSTEMS AND PLANNING ACTIVITIES ADDED, CHANGED, OR NO LONGER APPLICABLE; THE ADDITION OF A NEW SECTION DETAILING DEVELOPMENTS FOR THE PROPOSED OBTS/CCH (OFFENDER-BASED TRANSACTION STATISTICS/ COMPUTERIZED CRIMINAL HISTORIES) COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND THE CDS (COMPREHENSIVE DATA SYSTEM) PROGRAM IN GENERAL; AND AN EXPANDED SECTION ON THE AREA OF PRIVACY AND SECURITY. THE VOLUME IS COMPREHENSIVE IN THAT IT INCLUDES EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION ON THE CITY'S INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE. IT SHOULD SERVE AS A KEY REFERENCE POINT IN SUMMARIZING THE EXTENSIVE AND RATHER COMPLEX DEVELOPMENTS IN THIS FIELD. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)
