The Global Advisory Committee is a volunteer partnership from all levels of government, supporting “for practitioners, by practitioners” solutions to improve your justice business processes and – most importantly – the nation's public safety through efficient, effective, and timely information sharing.

"The IJIS Institute provides a vitally important service to the full spectrum of criminal justice, including corrections. By bringing together representatives from industry with experts from all levels of government, the IJIS Institute ensures the advancement of technologies for effective information sharing. We welcome the opportunity to contribute our expertise through the Corrections Advisory Committee."

—Ken McGovern, Vice President Marketing, Syscon

"I just returned from the American Correctional Association Winter Conference in Phoenix, and so much of the focus and efforts that you are tackling in the [IJIS Institute Corrections] Committee was clearly also issues that weigh heavy on the minds of practitioners in the field."

—David W. Manson, Jr., Product Manager, Ramsell Correctional Application

"For the standards required to achieve true AFIS and mobile ID interoperability between Federal, state and local agencies, the dialogue between the agencies and their respective technology providers requires a neutral setting that encourages open collaboration towards shared goals; the IJIS Institute provides that setting. The Biometrics Industry Government Standards and Interoperability Group subcommittee of IJIS Institute's CJIS Programs Advisory Committee (CPAC) defines a role for industry in collaborating with the FBI and state-level agencies to improve, expand, and help implement interoperability."

—Robert Horton, Director of Marketing & Communications, MorphoTrak Inc.
