Integration & Unification

Maryland Information Sharing circa

“Security integration means protecting our people and communities through seamless coordination and consistent information- sharing. It means that the criminal justice system must work as a system, not a collection of parallel lines -- and parallel cultures and parallel datasets and parallel intelligence systems - - that never meet.” Governor Martin O’Malley 5

Integration & Unification

The most valuable resource a state government owns is its data. FBI U.S. MarshalState Police Patrol, crime analysts, detectives… Local Police and Sheriffs Local Prosecutors ATFFederal Prosecutors Parole & ProbationD.C. Police

Mission: Integrate siloed databases Access relevant information using a single inquiry Use a single user ID and password Be accessible from any web enabled device Require no database modifications Be structured so that each agency could store its own data and information 8

Solution: The Criminal Justice Dashboard a web-based application developed by the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (DPSCS) that allows authorized public safety personnel read only access to over 100 data sources with a single user ID and password. 9

Facial Recognition Over 2.1 million photos have been uploaded into the Dashboard from the Maryland Image Repository System (MIRS). A photo or good sketch can be compared to the 2.1 million photos and the closest matches will be displayed. DPSCS is coordinating with other agencies to add more photos into the Dashboard Removing Anonymity 28

Next Steps Work as a region to consistently and seamlessly share information Cross-border arrest feeds Match arrest data with DPP records Give other states access to the Dashboard Encourage agencies in other states to share their data via the Dashboard 29

It makes it so much easier to solve crimes.” Maryland State Police
