The Impact of the General Data

Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Speakers: Jim Emerson, Partner, J3 Digital Forensics

Speakers: Jim Emerson, Partner, J3 Digital Forensics Panelists: Steve Ambrosini, Project Director, IJIS Institute Richard Gold, Program Director, IJIS Institute

Cybercrime and cyber-enabled crime generally depends upon address space. Address space must be registered under criteria established by contract between ICANN and Registries and Registrars. Registrant data includes PII, which is now protected under GDPR and will no longer be public for domain registrants as it has been historically. This adds a new formidable obstacle to the set of challenges going forward for law enforcement and public safety in efforts to combat cybercrime and cyber-enabled crime. While GDPR provides some exceptions, the practical outcomes are far less clear and there is no history of enforcement or litigation resulting from enforcement. This panel will discuss the current challenges and alternatives for law enforcement in the wake of GDPR. Lt. Colonel James J. Emerson, USMC (Ret) is the CEO and founder of the Public Safety Information and Analysis Organization and the executive advisor for cyber policy at the National White Collar Crime Center.

Breakout Session #5

Improving Outcomes with

Colorado’s Justice-to-Health

Exchange

Moderator/ Panelist:

Peggy Heil, Office of Research and Statistics, Colorado Division of Criminal Justice

Panelists: Richard Fiore, Alabama Office of Information technology, Chief Collaboration Officer

Sara Nelson, Director of Business Technology, Colorado Department of Human Services

Alejandro Vera, Special Projects Coordinator, Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing

Despite Colorado’s information sharing initiatives to improve services for individuals with mental illness, including reentering offenders, many of the efforts have been hampered by a fragmented system where behavioral health information remains siloed within agencies. Each agency initiates a new assessment process without benefit of historical information to determine the most appropriate evidence-based treatment, wasting staff resources and causing unnecessary delays in service. The coordination of services, both inside and outside a criminal justice setting, requires access to information regarding the individual’s medical, mental health and substance use treatment, and medication history. While technology exists to connect these systems, the difficulty addressing privacy concerns has led to agencies building siloed systems that limit cross-agency information sharing. The panel will discuss Colorado’s efforts to avoid costly gaps in services and to ensure continuity of care via implementation of a national standards-based Colorado justice-health information exchange, as well as discuss approaches used in other states to build justice-health interoperability platforms and technical solutions to those privacy concerns. Margaret (Peggy) Heil, LCSW, works in the Office of Research and Statistics in the Colorado Division of Criminal Justice. In her current job, she promotes effective interventions for justice-involved individuals with behavioral health needs by facilitating policy and research development. She has more than 30 years of experience in criminal justice behavioral health administration, service delivery, and research. In the past, she managed a Bureau of Justice Assistance Second Chance Act Statewide Recidivism Reduction Planning Program Grant with IJIS Institute consultation. The grant activities were focused on planning a statewide justice and health electronic information sharing system to improve continuity of care and reduce recidivism of justice-involved individuals with serious mental illness. Richard Fiore is the chief collaboration officer for the Office of Information Technology, responsible for identifying opportunities for inter-agency collaboration and finding financial and other resources to make the collaboration possible. He has more than 20 years of experience in the private and public sectors in a variety of disciplines and leadership roles, including working for or with the various branches and domains of Alabama government as well as with federal and local agencies and partners. His focus remains on

creating efficiencies in government through collaboration and information-driven programs and systems. Mr. Fiore’s public-sector experience includes management and analytical responsibilities at several State of Alabama agencies and includes working with local, state, and federal programs and information systems across many domains ranging from Human Services to Juvenile Justice, Higher Education, the Courts, and Homeland Security. Mr. Fiore’s work in the private sector includes contract negotiation and management, systems and software development and analysis, configuration management, business development, election ballot security and analysis, data migration, and project management. Sarah Nelson, MPA, is the business technology director for the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS). Sarah is advancing interoperability of health and human services systems. She helped create the Business Technology Division to ensure that technology supports the department’s goals. In her role as a business process manager, she was instrumental in transitioning the department’s procurement, contract, and personnel processes from paper to electronic to more effectively manage the department’s $2 billion annual budget and 5,000 employees. In 2017, Governor Hickenlooper appointed Sarah to Colorado’s eHealth Commission. Prior to joining CDHS, Sarah was senior advisor and paralegal with Daugherty, Fowler, Peregrin, Haught, and Jenson, where she also implemented a transformative document management solution.

Breakout Session #6

Understanding N-DEx and NIBRS

Moderator: Jim Pingel, Integration Services Practice, URL Integration and Chair of IJIS CJIS Advisory Committee

Panelists: Drema Fouch, NIBRS Coordinator, FBI Crime Statistics Management Unit

Evan Bays, Systems Engineer, The MITRE Corporation Darla Hackworth, Uniform Crime Reporting Program

Manager/Supervisor, Colorado Bureau of Investigation Theresa Huhn , MoDEx Project Manager, Missouri Department of

Public Safety

NIBRS and N-DEx are two complementary programs, which seek to meet different operational goals. The CPAC Committee’s members see a real value proposition for law enforcement agencies participating in both projects. But the differences, similarities and potential overlaps between the two must be well understood. This panel will present CPAC’s draft white paper that outlines these potential benefits. The presentation will also seek to put these four distinct initiatives in the context of that value proposition: 1) The FBI’s decision to stop Summary Reporting by 2021 and then only accept National Incident Based Reporting (NIBRS); 2) the Bureau of Justice Statistics Exchange effort to transition 400 sample agencies to NIBRS reporting; 3) the FBIs harmonization of the NIBRS and N-DEx IEPD; and 4) efforts by several states to create a single submission of NIBRS and N-DEx data. Jim Pingel’s 25-year career spans local, state, and federal levels, as well as the private sector. He has a background in budgeting and grants management but has worked on justice integration and related technology projects since 2001. Jim joined URL Integration in 2011 as subject matter expert and liaison with state and local clients. He has applied his deep background in public safety, government finance, and public policy to URL’s client engagements. He now leads URL's Integration Services Practice, providing overall management of URL's resources, as well as its key clients and accounts. He routinely interacts with state and local stakeholders, including agency CIOs, judges, police chiefs, sheriffs, and their management and line staff to identify business needs and translate them into innovative, standards-based integration solutions. Jim currently chairs the IJIS Institute’s CJIS Advisory Committee. In that role, he convenes industry representatives from IJIS Institute Member companies, along with experienced state and local criminal justice practitioners and the FBI-CJIS Division’s various programs. Drema Fouch is the coordinator of the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), where she is responsible for certification, developing a strategic plan for NIBRS growth, identifying and assessing resources that are available to support NIBRS, and developing a strategy that maximizes the use of those resources. Evan Bays is a systems engineer for The MITRE Corporation and supports the Crime Data Modernization project within the Department of Justice. He has lead various biometric and information technology projects within the Department of Justice and

Department of Defense over the past 13 years. His specialties include systems analysis, business process engineering, and system development. Theresa Huhn joined the Missouri Department of Public Safety, as the MoDEx (Missouri Data Exchange) Project Manager in February 2017. MoDEx provides a mechanism for agencies to securely share selected data among them and with the FBI National Data Exchange (NDEx). Prior to her current position, she served with the Missouri Highway Patrol CJIS Division for 25 years.
