The IJIS Institute’s leading efforts to support and expand information sharing over the past two decades has enabled the evolution of justice communications technology in the field, as the demand for more and more data fostered growth and adoption of advanced mobile communications technology.

At this momentous point in the span of the IJIS Institute’s history, its role and its importance have become increasingly evident. It is an indispensable feature of the health and safety solutions landscape. From standards coordination to technology integration, and from interoperability to certifications and program management, IJIS is not only a leader in justice information sharing, it has become a guiding force in public safety, homeland security, health and human services and courts and corrections. This wide array of vital services – delivered with a focused approach – is a testament to foresight of the IJIS model. Bringing industry together to work side by side with the public sector and academia is now a tested and effective design for advancing solutions that enhance the lives of people and communities everywhere.
