Press release: “In 2005, the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), in partnership with DOJ’s Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative (Global), and the IJIS Institute (IJIS), chartered a group of public and private sector specialists to focus on privacy technology, charging the group to examine the use and exchange of personally identifiable information (PII) in the context of justice information systems and in the dissemination and aggregation of justice and public safety data. The focus group identified prominent issues in privacy policy and technology, narrowed issues to readily addressable areas, outlined tangible, targeted technology solutions, and developed specific recommendations for action. The results of their recommendations were published in a formal report, Privacy Technology Focus Group: Final Report and Recommendations, and a companion Executive Summary addressing access and authentication, data aggregation and dissemination, identity theft, and personal safety and protection.”
