Title: Senior Project Manager: - Public Safety and Justice Data Exchanges
Business Background & Need:
The Law and Justice Systems Roadmap (LJSR) Project was initiated in FY 2009 to meet the unmet business and technology needs of the entire Santa Clara County Law and Justice community. Some of the initial drivers of this project included legacy technology systems becoming unsupportable, staff retirements, availability of complementary technologies and new systems, potential for quick wins, and external factors such as new California State court system. A tremendous amount of information was gathered during the LJSR project including an in depth assessment of the County''s highly integrated Criminal Justice Information Control (CJIC) system, development of high level departmental business and system requirements, evaluation of technical needs, identification of pain points and opportunities for improvement, and implementation of a number of quick wins and 4 pilot projects to test new technology integration with CJIC.
The LJSR Project became a permanent program (Public Safety & Justice Systems Program - PSJSP) managed by the County''s Information Services Department (ISD) in order to move the technology advancements forward and meet the needs of the Criminal Justice community. The PSJSP uses the extensive information gathered by the LJSR project to implement key technology changes for the Santa Clara County Public Safety and Justice community. Each agency is at a different stage of updating their technology to meet their business needs. The PSJSP provides oversight and guidance to departmental technology projects and manages and delivers enterprise technology initiatives that support integration, collaboration, business process improvements, and information sharing across County justice and public safety agencies.
PSJSP supports the vision, design, and implementation of an integrated Information Sharing Environment that will promote and support cross-agency collaboration, share information and services, enhance data exchanges, provide business intelligence and analytics, and integrate, consolidate and distribute information across County, local, regional and State agencies.
PSJSP Includes:
Design and implementation of a Countywide Information Sharing Environment (Client)
Design and Implementation of Data Exchanges
Design and Implementation of Enterprise Master Indices & Code Tables
Implementation of a new case management system for the Office of the Public Defender
Implementation of a new case management system for Adult and Juvenile Probation
Implementation of a Jail Management System for the Department of Correction
Implementation of a Records Management System for the Office of the Sheriff
Collaboration with the local Court on the implementation of the new Court Case Management System and integration with the CJIC system
Design and implementation of a Business Intelligence/Data Analytics system
Design and implementation of a Re-Entry Referral Tracking system for the Office of Re-Entry Services
Program governance, project management, budget management and resourcing for the above projects
Ongoing support of the County''s criminal justice community IT needs
Ongoing support and maintenance of enterprise Public Safety & Justice systems
Project Name (if applicable): Public Safety & Justice Systems Program
Impact to business or project if delayed or recommended approach is not taken: Implementation of Enterprise Master Indices & Code Tables will be significantly delayed, more expensive, and risk of failure will be higher without a Project Manager. Data integration between the new Court system, other new systems, CJIC and the Client will be at risk and could fail due to lack of knowledge of data components and integration strategies. Organizational change required to implement new systems in County agencies could create a large barrier that would threaten the success of these projects.
