RESOLUTION
Whereas, the events of September 11, 2001 have focused
attention on the need to have current, accurate and complete criminal justice
information available to assist law enforcement agencies in the delivery of
critical public safety services; and
Whereas, the Circuit Court of Cook County processes more
than 70% of the criminal cases in Illinois; and
Whereas, improving the quality, accuracy, accessibility and
timeliness of criminal history information which is generated, updated, managed
and disseminated by Cook County criminal justice agencies, will enhance the
overall quality of criminal history information for Illinois; and
Whereas, the Clerk of the Circuit Court has the
responsibility to certify and maintain court records as an integral component
of criminal history information, to disseminate criminal case dispositions to
the central state information repository, and to provide access to Cook County
criminal case history records to public safety and criminal justice agencies
for critical day-to-day decision making; and
Whereas, criminal justice information systems in Cook County
have been designed to meet agency-specific operational needs as autonomous and
independent systems, and as such, the information can not be readily shared
with the courts or other justice agencies and inevitably contains redundancy
and inconsistency with other information in the system; and
Whereas, justice information in Cook County must be improved
if we are to provide high quality, accurate and timely criminal history information
to law enforcement officers and the courts for purposes of making criminal
justice decisions; and
Whereas, judges, prosecutors and police often do not know
if they have complete information when making bail and sentencing decisions,
charging decisions, possible plea negotiations and arrest decisions; and
Whereas, judges, prosecutors and police require complete
and accurate information when making arrest, bail, charging, plea negotiations
and sentencing decisions; and
Whereas, an integrated, county-wide justice information
system is necessary to ensure that all public, private and individual
stakeholders in the justice system have the accurate, timely and easily
accessible information they require to better administer justice and enhance
the safety and well being of the people of Cook County; and
Whereas, the development of a strategic plan for an
integrated criminal justice information system for Cook County that aligns with
and supports the statewide integrated justice information plan, will ensure
that the requirements for Cook County are identified, increasing the
effectiveness and applicability of the statewide plan to the needs of justice
agencies within Cook County; and
Whereas, a crucial step in the process of realizing an
integrated criminal justice information system for Cook County is to have a
planning body comprised of all the major stakeholders to guide the development
of the strategic plan.
RESOLUTIONS continued
ITEM #79 cont'd
Now, therefore, be it resolved, by the Cook County Board of
Commissioners that a Cook County Integrated Criminal Justice Information System
Committee be established and charged with preparing a plan for the development
of an integrated criminal justice information system as follows:
I. COOK COUNTY INTEGRATED CRIMINAL
JUSTICE INFORMATION SYSTEMS COMMITTEE
The Cook County Integrated Criminal

or appointed offices: the Office of the
President, the Clerk of the Circuit Court, the Office of the Chief Judge, the
State’s Attorney, the Sheriff, the Public Defender, the Cook County Department
of Corrections, the Adult Probation Department, and the Bureau of Information
Technology and Automation. The following State of Illinois agencies shall each

Chiefs.
B. The
Committee shall seek the input, assistance and participation of other public,
private and public interest groups as necessary or appropriate.
C. The
Clerk of the Circuit Court shall serve as chair of the Committee and may
establish ad hoc committees or sub committees as necessary to assist the
Committee in completion of the Committee’s mission.
III. DUTIES
OF THE COMMITTEE
A. Complete
a needs assessment that will systematically identify all criminal justice
systems in Cook County. Review all components of the justice process so that
their current and planned justice information system environments can be
examined and documented.
B. Conduct
a study to identify exchange points between agencies to determine where
automation will enhance the integration process and make recommendations for
automation of those exchange points where participants are willing and ready
for automation.
C. Develop
a strategic plan for integration of Cook County justice and court information
which includes, but is not limited to the following:
·
Recommendation of cost-effective solutions that integrate existing
criminal justice information systems, providing standards for future systems
development, which reduce technological incompatibility, redundancy and
inefficiency.
·
Develop strategies to improve the positive identification of
individuals who interact with the justice system through the use of enhanced
biometrics identification technologies such as flat fingerprints and facial
recognition.
·
Build upon the significant financial investments already made by Cook
County, avoid unfunded mandates and identify federal and state grants and other
sources of funding assistance to finance the integration and improvement of the
criminal justice information systems in Cook County.
·
Work in partnership with state and local criminal justice agencies and
related social service agencies to meet operational requirements and needs for
shared justice-related information.
·
Ensure that the privacy and civil liberties of all citizens are
enhanced rather than diminished by implementation of an integrated criminal
justice information system.
D. Report
the Committee’s findings, recommendations and strategic plan to the Cook County
Board of Commissioners no later than May 1, 2003.

available to meet their needs, and

Hospital of Cook County, Dr. Demetra Soter and Dr. Michele Lorand, have been
instrumental in developing the Bureau's child abuse and child neglect programs.
