Smarter Solutions for Crime Reduction:
The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority
Strategic Planning Initiative
September 22-23, 2010
Four Points by Sheraton-Chicago O'Hare
10249 Irving Park Road, Schiller Park, Illinois, 60176
The two-day summit brings together criminal justice practitioners, policymakers, legislators, service providers, researchers, and community members. Each session provides information about current strategies that can be replicated or adapted in local jurisdictions. The panel sessions present information about effective practices that are multidisciplinary in nature, incorporate promising or evidence-based components; highlight professional development or training models; and support innovative information-sharing standards, policies and practices.
These session topics were intentionally selected because they fit within the Authority's statutory responsibilities, including: grants administration, research and analysis, policy and planning, and information systems and technology.
The event will also create cross-disciplinary breakout groups organized by jurisdiction size, with representation across the criminal justice and related health and human services system. These breakout groups will assist in the development of a five-year strategic plan for criminal justice policy and programs, and related health and human services policy and programs.
Breakout group participants will begin to determine the feasibility of utilizing the summit presentations within their local environments; and begin to identify the tools, including technical assistance, fiscal resources, policy or legislation, or technological infrastructure, necessary to garner success.
