IJIS Institute Begins as the Industry Working Group
In the first half of 1999, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Assistance (OJP), Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) invited members of the justice information technology community to participate in national-level discussions around integrated justice and how it is designed, specified, and procured. The DOJ also sought industry input on issues such as IT technical and functional standards that are employed by justice agencies. To answer this call, industry leaders formed an advisory group comprised of representatives from firms with strong criminal justice expertise. This group came to be known as the Industry Working Group (IWG).
