Background:
The attached document is an Inter-Agency Agreement which provides direct access to criminal history and other criminal justice-related information through the JIS, administered by 12/11/2018 -the Board approved the Inter-Agency Agreement with the Office of the State Court Administrators (OSCA).
05/11/2021 - the Board approved the Inter-Agency Agreement with the Office of the State Court Administrators (OSCA), along with a related Judicial Inquiry System (JIS) Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles Access Certification Statement
08/23/2022 - the Board approved the Inter-Agency Agreement with the Office of the State Court Administrators (OSCA) to update contact information for the Florida Crime Information Center {FCIC} Agency Coordinator (FAC)
01/24/2023 - the Board approved the Inter-Agency Agreement with the Office of the State Court Administrators (OSCA). It ensures the confidentiality of all information contained within the System. This agreement is similar to the agreement the County has with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to run criminal histories. Judicial Inquiry System (JIS) is a much faster, and more efficient, manner of retrieving criminal histories, saving County Court Services staff time and money.
Under the User Agreement, the Office of the State Court Administrators (OSCA) allows Court Services (through the County) to utilize the Judicial Inquiry System (JIS), which is currently accessed by the staff of nearly every Department program. OSCA requires periodic updates of the Agreement, including those times when there is new Department leadership or new County leadership. In addition, a new Agreement is required when the County adds or removes a Department Point of Contact, which has happened upon the resignation of Court Services Director Michael Arizmendi. As a result, the JIS Inter-Agency User Agreement must now be approved and it is required that the Board Chair sign, following the BoCC’s approval as requested herein.
