JIS Guidelines for Information Sharing Report

State and local jurisdictions across the United States are working to improve information sharing among key agencies responsible for community safety and the health and wellbeing of at-risk youth and juvenile offenders. These juvenile justice and other youth-serving agencies often have difficulty receiving timely and reliable information needed for conducting assessments and determining appropriate supervision, sanctions, incentives,and services for youth.

In response, OJJDP endorsed the development of JIS guidelines through a collaborative agreement with the Center for Network Development, as a critical step toward achieving agreement on appropriate information to share within jurisdictions and as mechanisms for effective and efficient information sharing.

State Statutes on Juvenile Interagency Information & Record Sharing Website

The State Statutes on Juvenile Interagency Information & Record Sharing website organizes and presents state laws on juvenile record privacy. The site is a joint project of the United States Department of Justice through its Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) along with the Center for Network Development (CND) and Fox Valley Technical College (FVTC).

The purpose of the State Statutes site is to assist state and local officials in determining what state law permits and requires as to juvenile record sharing. In addition, this site is kept current to provide a source of accurate and readily available information that will aid state and local officials seeking to implement interagency agreements in the areas of child welfare juvenile justice.
