Judicial Data Exchange

Delaying Justice for All the Wrong Reasons

"Whenever you are trying to put together a case, it is very difficult if the parties are dealing with the same information," said Ferrell Henry, Crisp County Commission Chair.  So how much harder is it to build an accurate case when there are typographical errors, wasted time due to duplication of data entry, and technical systems across jurisdictions that don’t communicate with one another?  Unfortunately, this is the case among most state law enforcement and judicial agencies.  The result of this manual system is delayed justice.  Letting criminals stay on the streets longer than necessary because warrants are not processed quickly enough.  And therefore compromising the safety and security of the community.

Connecting Law Enforcement and Judicial Systems in Real-Time

Judicial Data Exchange
Metatomix Judicial Data Exchange (JDX) connects all of the players in the judicial system - including law enforcement and correctional professions, attorneys, judges and their staffs - by providing a real-time information exchange between all relevant organizations.  “Many projects allow law enforcement agencies to share information and such, but this program allows all aspects of criminal justice players to be on the same page, thus improving the entire criminal justice process,” stated Judge John C. Pridgen, Judicial Circuit Chief Superior Judge.  JDX consolidates information from multiple jurisdictions and agencies without any of the entities losing control of their data, a critical element to enable cooperation across diverse jurisdictions.  Best of all, this complete set of information is accessed by users from a single interface…one system, one login.

All the Information You Need to Build a Case Quickly

Key JDX features include:

  • A single sign-on, role-based user interface for accessing all case information
  • Automated warrant processing and information exchange processes
  • Intuitive dashboard display of comprehensive case information, plus drill down functionality for users to access more detailed information
  • Information is displayed in real-time; information retrieval that once took hours now takes seconds
  • Workflow and checkpoint functionality expedites the approval process
  • Real-time jail information access
  • Data access is non-invasive – no software updates or modifications to existing systems are required – and data is accessed in place, so agencies and jurisdictions maintain full control over their database content
  • Leverages the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM), which enables automated enterprise-wide data exchange and allows more efficient and expansive information sharing between agencies and jurisdictions
  • Leverages the Justice Information Exchange Model (JIEM), comprised of the JIEM methodology, reference model and modeling tool, to provide a stable foundation for design, implementation, and deployment of information sharing across jurisdictions.

Bringing Criminals to Justice More Quickly and Efficiently

By accessing complete case history information at the critical moment you need it, you are empowered to make informed decisions and trigger the right action at the right time.
Benefits include:

  • Significant time savings.  "It's been a tremendous asset having all of the information in one place.  It has saved analysts at our agency time to work more requests in a more timely fashion by having everything in one location."
  • Drastic potential improvements in accuracy
  • You work more efficiently and criminals are behind bars more quickly. 

Everybody wins except the criminal. 

"I am not at all concerned about the time... I'm concerned about the security of the people. This is a tremendous tool to help enhance the security of the community."
