The Criminal Justice Integration System (CJIS) is a joint effort on the part of the City of Flagstaff and Coconino County that involves numerous departments including the Flagstaff Police Department, Coconino County Sheriff's Office, County IT Department, the Administrative Office of the Courts, Coconino County Attorney, Flagstaff City Attorney, Flagstaff Municipal Court, Flagstaff Justice Court, Department of Public Safety, Coconino County Superior Court and the Clerk of the Superior Court.  The System is a jointly created middleware that allows the various computer systems of these criminal justice entities to share data and information in an appropriate electronic format across the different platforms that each entity uses.  Electronic filings of citations and electronic reporting of dispositions are the type of information shared across the middleware.

The original IGA that established this System was approved n 2005 and expired last year.  During the past year we have been working with our justice system partners to move the support an development of the CJIS into a contract with a provider who is better able manage the system as a whole.  That contract agreement has been reached and services will be managed through the contract between Pragmatica and Coconino County.  For us to continue to participate in the CJIS and move forward with data sharing between the various entities we are requesting approval of this IGA between the City an County.  Funding for the CJIS and this IGA has been included in the budget of the Flagstaff Municipal Court since 2005 and is part of our approved budget in FY 17.

A copy of the agreement will be attached to the Final Agenda.
