Development of OSBI Investigative Casemanagement System

The Congressionally Selected Awards Program, authorized by the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009 (Pub. L. 111-8), helps improve the functioning of the criminal justice system, prevent or combat juvenile delinquency, and/or assist victims of crime (other than compensation). Funds should be used for the projects selected by Congress, in the amounts specified in the joint explanatory statement incorporated by reference into Pub. L. 111-8, and generally consistent with one or more of the following statutory purposes: improving the functioning of the criminal justice system, preventing or combating juvenile delinquency, or assisting victims of crime (other than compensation). Each of these purposes is framed using language drawn, respectively, from the former Byrne discretionary statute, the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, the Victims of Crime Act, and the Violence Against Women Act. This project is authorized and funded through a line item in the FY 09 Congressional Budget and by the joint explanatory statement that is incorporated by reference into the FY09 Omnibus Appropriations Act.

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) in conjunction with the Criminal Information Sharing Alliance (CISA) will utilize its FY 2009 Congressionally Selected Award funds to build an Investigative Case Management System (ICMS) that will ensure that state and local law enforcement officers have accurate information available to them in a timely manner. The program goals include: 1) the improved collection, use and sharing of law enforcement information, 2) use of common development standards, and 3) enhancing law enforcement information sharing between CISA states. To accomplish these goals, CISA and the OSBI will work together in the identification of ICMS functional requirements, develop and adhere to program management plans, and procure the hardware/software necessary to upgrade OSBI's information sharing infrastructures.
