SAFECOM, a program housed under DHS, is the first national program designed by public safety practitioners for public
28
safety. As a public safety practitioner-driven program, SAFECOM is working with existing federal communications
initiatives and key public safety stakeholders to address the need to develop better technologies and processes for
the cross-jurisdictional and cross-disciplinary coordination of existing systems and future networks. The scope of
the public safety community is broad: the customer base includes over 50,000 local and state public safety agencies
and organizations; federal customers include over 100 agencies engaged in public safety disciplines such as law
enforcement, firefighting, public health, and disaster recovery. SAFECOM makes it possible for the public safety
community to leverage resources by promoting coordination and cooperation across all levels of government. More

29
general area of interest (i.e., justice-related information sharing), although the Global portion of the site focuses

data storage and interfacing, data transport, functional standards, security, technology standards, and XML schemas
(including the Amber Alert schema).
Reorganized Global JXDM topics include current release, advisory bodies, tools, help, implementation guidelines,

The N-DEx System, being developed under FBI leadership, is an incident- and event-based information sharing system
for local, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies that securely collects and processes crime data in support of
investigations, crime analysis, law enforcement administration, strategic and tactical operations, and national security.
LEITSC, funded through OJP, fosters the growth of strategic planning and implementation of integrated justice systems
34
by promoting the merits of IT standards, providing advice to the nation’s law enforcement community on technical aspects
of IT standards, sharing practical solutions, and representing the voice of law enforcement in the expansion of justice
and public safety IT standards. To those ends, JSC, NCISP, and Global JXDM make significant contributions. More

The IACP LEIM conference provides an opportunity to learn more about contemporary information management
35
technologies and initiatives. In addition to hands-on demonstrations, topics on the agenda include mobile computing,
information security and intrusion detection, evaluation of information technology, strategic planning for law
enforcement information systems, technology funding, grant management, and wireless communications integration
and interoperability. In 2004, Global provided resource materials, support, and expertise to the program.
DOJ fully acknowledges the imperative of including private industry in the justice information sharing dialogue. To
36
this end, the IJIS Institute is a trusted Global partner. More information on the IJIS Institute is available at www.
