XML ExampleXML ExampleCriminal History Record (Rap Sheet) Instance
• Programmatic work and infrastructure enhancement to the Nlets NJIN
• Archival database and research instruments
CHIEF: Lesson LearnedCHIEF: Lesson Learned• Once Nlets completed the GJXDM to NIEM
transformation other transformations are relatively easy.
• States do not have to wait until the latest version of the standards before moving to implementation
• Once a state codes to an XML standard the transformation to NIEM can be handled by Nlets.
CHIEF : CHIEF : EXCITING NEWS!EXCITING NEWS!
August 13, 2008PA implements
the interstate rapSheet using
NIEM!
Lessons LearnedLessons Learned
• Problem: not all elements needed or desired.• PSP was sending PersonLivingIndicator with values
of ‘true’ or ‘false’ for all records.• The NIEM to Text Style Sheet will display the
‘DECEASED’ line on the RAP Sheet if the PersonLivingIndicator is present, regardless if set to true or false.
Lessons LearnedLessons Learned
• Not all elements needed or desired.• PSP received numerous calls from other states
expressing confusion over DECEASED line, and requested clarification on whether or not the subject was in fact deceased.
• The PSP Style Sheet was modified to send the PersonLivingIndicator ONLY when set to false.
NICS data added to PSP RAP NICS data added to PSP RAP
• Problem: neither the GJXDM nor the NIEM format adequately address the degree for the Grade of Crime to satisfy National Instant Check System (NICS) background check processing.• Displays ‘Felony’ or ‘Misdemeanor’, but not the
degree of felony or misdemeanor. (1, 2, 3, etc.)• PA Misdemeanor of the first degree (M1) same as
felony for NICS purposes.
NICS data added to PSP RAP NICS data added to PSP RAP
• Problem: neither the GJXDM nor the NIEM format adequately address the degree for the Grade of Crime to satisfy National Instant Check System (NICS) background check processing.• NICS only sees ‘Misdemeanor’ on PA RAP Sheet.
Had to call PSP on every such case to find out if it was M1, M2, or M3.
• No suitable tag in either GJXDM or NIEM schema exists to provide degree of crime.
NICS data added to PSP RAPNICS data added to PSP RAP• Solution – Utilize two existing NIEM tags
to provide appropriate NICS information.• j:PersonFirearmSalesDisqualifiedIndicator
• Valid values are ‘D’, ‘X’, and ‘C’.• j:@commentText
• Displayed with appropriate indicator, the values are:
• D – Disqualified• X – Unknown or Pending• C – Cleared
NICS data added to PSP RAPNICS data added to PSP RAP• Solution – Utilize two existing NIEM tags
to provide appropriate NICS information.• Combined and displayed on RAP in Caution
Information, only if Purpose Code ‘F’ used.• Examples:
• FIREARMS DISQUALIFIED STATUS D- DISQUALIFIED • FIREARMS DISQUALIFIED STATUS X- UNKNOWN OR
PENDING• FIREARMS DISQUALIFIED STATUS C- CLEARED
• NICS no longer needs to call PSP on each misdemeanor.
Project BenefitsProject Benefits
• Valuable Lessons Learned for Conversion of Existing GJXDM Messages
• Better Understanding of Cost/Effort in moving to NIEM
• Gained experience for future NIEM efforts• Supports Commonwealth Law Enforcement
Assistance Network (CLEAN) upgrade
Project BenefitsProject Benefits
• Pennsylvania is in line with the information sharing goals of Nlets and NCIC.
• Better position for future funding considerations.
• Better position to be able to share information with PA Justice Network (JNET) and other entities via transformation if necessary
Project BenefitsProject Benefits
• NIEM component reusability should help to reduce development costs for future projects.
