Through this solicitation, BJA is seeking to enable the nations criminal justice community to improve information sharing through advanced technology and tools that increase efficiency, enhance operations, and promote cost savings and reuse. BJAs National Justice Information Sharing (JIS) Initiative works collaboratively with key stakeholders and national partner organizations to identify critical issues and problems, and provide resources in response to emerging challenges in law enforcement, courts, corrections, community corrections, offender reentry, criminal justice-involved human/social services, and tribal justice.
