Privacy, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties Policy Templates for Justice Information Systems
Developed by the U.S. Department of Justice's (DOJ) Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative (Global) in partnership with the Justice Management Institute (JMI), DOJ's Global Privacy, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties Policy Templates for Justice Information Systems is a practical tool for justice system practitioners that provides templates for drafting comprehensive policies to protect privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties principles. The policy templates were developed for use by law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, courts, or other justice system agencies or jurisdictions at the local, state, regional, tribal, territorial, or federal level. They were designed to cover a range of computer-based justice information systems that seek or receive, store, and make available information in support of activities associated with the justice system, public safety, and health. The templates are relevant to the administration of justice, strategic and tactical operations, and national security responsibilities and are intended to address all types of public safety and public protection risks and threats, whether criminal or from natural disasters.
