- Summary
-
Recognizing the need to share critical information, the State of Illinois established the Illinois Integrated Justice Information System (IIJIS) Governing Board in 2001. This board, comprised of representatives from state, county, and municipal justice agencies, was charged with the responsibility of developing a plan for justice information sharing in Illinois. Their report, the Illinois Integrated Justice Information System Strategic Plan, was completed in December 2002. In order to implement the strategic plan developed by the IIJIS Board, Governor Rod Blagojevich created the Illinois Integrated Justice Information System Implementation Board in 2003. Created by executive Order 16, the IIJIS Implementation Board is an intergovernmental effort dedicated to improving the administration of justice in Illinois. It was created in recognition of the need to improve information sharing and to meet challenges to public safety, such as those presented by the tragic events of September 11, 2001, and the Washington, DC serial sniper incident. In light of the demand for increased access to critical subject information, the Board is additionally charged with the responsibility of safeguarding individual privacy rights and preventing unauthorized disclosures of information.
