History, Mistakes, Progress and Lessons Learned
Slide: 2March 2007
Presentation Outline
Early Integration Efforts in Minnesota Recognizing the Gaps Gaining Policymaker Buy-in Going Off-track Regrouping and Moving Ahead What’s Next?
Slide: 3March 2007
Early Integration Efforts in Minnesota
Issues initially raised surrounding criminal history records and notification of domestic abuse orders for protection Justice agency personnel were unaware of “big
picture” issues Changes in business practices were necessary
Importance of “enterprise” view became apparent Need for technical and data sharing standards Understanding that multiple technologies existed Recognizing enterprise-wide business process
changes
Slide: 4March 2007
Early Integration Efforts in Minnesota
Legislature creates two governing bodies to oversee policy related to criminal and juvenile justice information (1992!!)Policy Group
Initially four executive and judicial branch members Now 10 members
Task Force Larger group, representing criminal justice
interests, the public, policymakers
Slide: 5March 2007
1996 - 2000: Tragic Cases/Crime Rates Minneapolis was coined “Murderopolis” in
1996, where there was a record set for homicides
Wide media attention drawn as a result of tragic murder cases that illustrated information sharing issues (Katie Poirier, Cally Jo Larson)
Interest from private sector HEALS – community and corporate leaders $1 million for larger county integration planning Support from Target Corporation, Minnesota Business
Partnership
Slide: 6March 2007
Public Expectations/Perceptions Even back in the late 1990s, the public
expected key pieces of information to be available to criminal justice agencies through technology.
Today’s crime-themed television shows have only increased public expectations for the use of technology by criminal justice.

Recognizing/Filling Gaps Key examples showed significant gaps in
the information availableSuspenseNo electronic fingerprint capture
Lack of technology infrastructure to collect and deliver information electronically
These issues became the initial focus for Minnesota efforts
Work began to help policymakers understand issues and needs

Slide: 12March 2007
2000-01 - Gaining Policymaker Buy-in Legislature appropriates funding ($40
million in 2000-01) for system improvement to fill existing gapsElectronic fingerprint capture (livescan
devices), arrest/booking photo database, predatory offender database, statewide probation/detention/release database, initial funding for new court records system, and additional local grant funding.
State-level Program Office (CriMNet) created to assist with these efforts
Slide: 13March 2007
2002- CriMNet Program Goes Off Track Exclusive focus on building technology
(building a thing - “backbone) with little stakeholder involvement or input
No strategic plan – no plan of any kind Oversimplification and over-promised
results and time to deliver Limited understanding or interest in
criminal justice business practice issues or needs
Result: Destined for failure yet very high expectations of stakeholders and the public
Slide: 14March 2007
More Challenges! Legislative audit criticizes program, but is
generally supportive of vision/missionSuggests stronger controls on program goals,
outcomes, budget accountabilitySuggests specific communications plan and
stakeholder input/involvement State law enforcement database with
insufficient data policy and security experiences an access breach, resulting in legislative scrutiny and eventual shutdown
Slide: 15March 2007
Regrouping and Moving Ahead 2003-2004
New CriMNet Program leadershipProgram shifts to focus on business
needs and stakeholder involvement – emphasizing collaboration
Comprehensive strategic plan created, vetted with stakeholders, and adopted
Strong project and program management and controls put in place
Slide: 16March 2007
Regrouping and Moving Ahead 2005-2006
CriMNet Program hires permanent long-term staff
Progress made toward developing process, data, and technical standards
Framework document details future vision for integration (collaborative effort of Task Force, Policy Group and Program Office)
Slide: 17March 2007
Integration Activities - Progress Policy Analysis (background checks/expungements) Standards – process, data and technical, and, data
policy (development and vetting) Security Architecture Plan New statewide law enforcement Incident database Identification Roadmap (biometric-linked index) Direct Assistance to Local Agencies Court Information System (MNCIS) Rollout (continued) Statewide Supervision System (upgraded) Integrated Search Service MN Criminal Justice Statute Service

Slide: 20March 2007
Lessons Learned Along the Way Most of the challenges were completely
uncharted territoryStrategic planning/mission development with
involvement of all aspects of criminal justice at the state and local level
Creation of a comprehensive communications plan for this effort, intended to solicit feedback from and involvement of criminal justice constituent groups
Providing the proper policy foundation – particularly with data practices (PIA)
Slide: 21March 2007
Lessons Learned Along the Way Creating a statewide vision for filling
information gaps and for integration across the criminal justice enterprise
Creating a process for establishing standards Reaching out to vendors to communicate the
future vision/ongoing projects/needs of users Working within the established governance
structure in a way that is effective and meaningful - transparency
Slide: 22March 2007
Lessons Learned Along the Way Keeping policymakers and constituent
groups engaged through a long-term, ongoing effort especially after set backs
Understanding situations will change – allowing for flexibility as efforts move ahead
Learning to assess when something isn’t within the scope of your program and how to prioritize goals and expectations
Slide: 23March 2007
Creating the Framework for Integration
Began with priorities discussion in the Task Force and with their constituents
Strengthened with work of Program Office in assessing needs defined by users and confirming those through Task Force; and, with comprehensive portfolio planning and project management
Affirmed by Policy Group as the high-level “end state vision” moving forward for Minnesota criminal justice enterprise integration

Slide: 26March 2007
Keeping Constituents Engaged Task Force provides venue for constituent
groups to provide feedback Program Office reaches out to local
agencies to provide feedback and communicate progress
State must provide context to progress/expenditures to create better understanding of the issues/needs
Slide: 27March 2007
Creating the Context The total annual cost of justice and
public safety in MN (2004)* Cities under 2500 $59,100,000Cities over 2500 $832,600,000Counties $710,300,000State $715,700,000TOTAL $2,317,700,000
This excludes some capital investment, federal funds and other grants
*Source: “Summary Budget Information for Minnesota Cities; 2004 Budget Data Together with2003 Revised Budget Data”, and “2003 and 2004 County Budget Summary”, Office of the State Auditor for cities and counties, rounded to nearest $100,000 .
Slide: 28March 2007
What’s Next? Implementing the Framework – priorities
identified by the Task Force and affirmed by the Policy Group
Consolidating information in a way that’s more helpful to users
Linking more information back to the individual – eventually to a biometric (fingerprint)
Delivering information based on the users role and the event (officer in squad car, judge at arraignment), with appropriate security
Slide: 29March 2007
CriMNet’s Role Focusing on the Enterprise Recommending core investments for
greatest benefit to the state as a whole Helping maintain project momentum and
interest of policymakers and constituents Providing resources to help local agencies
engage in enterprise initiatives and be involved
