The juvenile information sharing (JIS) guidelines were prepared by the Center for Network Development (CND) for the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). The guidelines suggest a course of action for key agency and organization stakeholders involved in a state or local effort to implement and sustain juvenile information sharing. The guidelines are presented in four chapters that integrate the three critical components of juvenile information sharing--collaboration, confidentiality, and technology--into an effective developmental framework. Each chapter includes a brief introduction, guidelines, and a summary discussion of each guideline. A glossary of relevant terms and references is provided at the end of the Guidelines. Chapter One provides direction for establishing an effective JIS collaborative, as well as the governance structure and necessary project management. Chapter Two guides agencies through assessment, strategic planning, and policy and procedure development to ensure the protection and security of private information about youth, families, and victims, and achieve cross-agency integration and interoperability. Chapter Three recommends the implementation of JIS policies and procedures, training, and continuous quality improvement to ensure effective juvenile information sharing. Chapter Four suggests policies for transparency, openness, and public communication regarding JIS policies and procedures.
