Hawaii Horizontal Integration Pilot (HIP) Project Project Background and User Requirements Introduction Key justice officials in Hawaii have long recognized the need to build integrated information sharing capabilities between justice agencies and other governmental entities throughout the State. Through a host of initiatives over the past ten yeazs State representatives have built and strengthened critical justice information systems (e,g., CJIS system, AFIS and live-scan capabilities, planning and development of the Judicial Information Management System (JIMS), and others) and have established much of the foundation to support Statewide integrated justice information sharing (IJIS). In 2002, the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center (HCJDC) received funding from the U.S. Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), in cooperation with the National Governors' Association (NGA), to develop the Horizontal Integration Pilot (HIP) project. The HIP project is designed to demonstrate the technical feasibility and business value of electronically sharing critical information at key decision points in a real-time and secure manner. The project is limited in scope, focusing initially on a single jurisdiction (Hawaii County), a single document (the OBTS/CCH Arrest Report), and a limited number of electronic exchanges, utilizing an IJIS Message Broker methodology. This pilot project relies on national models (e.g., the Justice Information Exchange Model (JIEM), developed by SEARCH and funded from BJA) and information exchange standazds (i.e., the Global Justice XML Data Model (GJXDM), developed by U.S. Department of Justice), which are appropriately referenced below. The Need Justice agencies in Hawaii County (specifically the Hawaii Intake Service Center (HISC), Hawaii County Prosecutor, Third Circuit Court, Hawaii County Community Corrections (HCCC)) today must rely on facsimile transmission of arrest booking reports created by the Hawaii County Police Department, and must re-enter into their internal agency information systems a considerable amount of data already captured in these automated arrest/booking reports in order to initiate, schedule and manage cases. As a consequence of this largely manual process, additional and redundant effort is required by each participating agency to enter relevant information already automated on the booking/azrest report into their internal agency information systems. Moreover, information maybe delayed or incorrectly entered (through multiple re-entry and as a result of diminishing quality of the facsimile images), potentially resulting in improper decisions or unwarranted delays of legal proceedings. The HIP project is designed to enable real-time, secure exchange of relevant arrest and booking information, so that the authorized justice agencies identified above will have timely, accurate and complete information on persons arrested, confined and waiting judicial proceedings.
