The Arizona Integrated Criminal Justice Information System (AZ ICJIS) is a plan for a statewide network of criminal justice information sharing systems. The Arizona Criminal Justice Commission (ACJC) is the coordinating agency for the elements of AZ ICJIS. Since 1995, ACJC has been the State Administering Agency (SAA) for federal funding through the National Criminal History Improvement Program, directed at improving the completeness of criminal history records in the state of Arizona. ACJC also administered funding for the Criminal Justice Records Improvement Project, funded through the federal Byrne grant. ACJC has worked with state and local agencies to leverage funding for criminal justice automation projects. The first county-wide integration pilot project was completed in Coconino County in 2004. |

Under the guidance of ACJC, stakeholders have formed a governance structure to guide automation and integration projects according to a statewide strategic plan through 2007. This includes a Policy Team and a Technical Team that report to an Executive Steering Committee.
(Note: The statewide strategic plan for 2008 - 2012, will be posted shortly.) |

ACJC continues to guide the process and raise awareness to the issue of integrated criminal justice systems. In December 2006, ACJC hosted Arizona’s first statewide Criminal Justice Information Sharing Symposium. Information and presentations are archived on the Symposium web page. |
