In recent years, however, severe laboratory backlogs have clogged the system and affected the ability of the criminal justice system to fully benefit from the value of forensic evidence. According to the 2005 Bureau of Justice Statistics Census of Publicly Funded Crime Laboratories, laboratories reported 360,000 backlogged requests for forensic services that year, an increase of 24 percent between 2002 and 2005. An informal assessment of 94 state and local crime laboratories, conducted in 2009 in collaboration with the IJIS Institute, found that 79 percent 1indicated having some form of a laboratory information management system (LIMS) in place, but 87 percent of these laboratories still accept forensic requests via handwritten long forms. To further complicate the backlogs, the IJIS Institute estimates that an average laboratory spends more than 5,000 hours every year clarifying examination requests with the submitting agency or responding to requests from the agencies for updates about the status of examination requests. Ninety-eight percent of laboratories reported the need for analysts to spend time in administrative follow-up rather than analytical duties. Appendix A contains a summary of the findings from the IJIS Institute survey. In summary, the combination of increased caseload and inefficient information management processes significantly clogs the entire justice process, and promises to worsen in the future as the forensic sciences expand their scope, utility and technology. Meanwhile, as requests for 1 IJIS Institute, FIDEX Survey Results, February 24, 2009 National Forensic Science Technology Center 1 Final Project Report FIDEX crime laboratory examinations mount, laboratory directors are seeking to reduce their backlogs and provide timely results to law enforcement officers and prosecutors. Recognizing the importance of streamlining case management to reduce the staggering backlog of cases in the nation’s crime laboratories, the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), through its cooperative agreement with the National Forensic Science Technology Center (NFSTC), has created a standardized tool for sharing forensic case information among agencies in the justice community. In 2007, NIJ provided funding to NFSTC, with subcontracts to the IJIS Institute and Waterhole Software, to begin developing the Forensic Information Data Exchange (FIDEX), a set of technical specifications to facilitate systems interoperability and the electronic transmission of information to and from forensic crime laboratories. Built using 21st century Web-based technology, the FIDEX tool provides an electronic platform that enables more efficient sharing of forensic information among criminal justice stakeholders, including law enforcement, prosecutors and crime laboratories. Using standards based on the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) version 2.0, FIDEX provides an end-to-end solution for the real-time exchange of forensic case information, while enhancing and integrating the functionality of formerly stand-alone information management systems in different law enforcement agencies and crime laboratories. FIDEX provides a paperless process that eliminates the traditional hand-written “long form” that accompanied laboratory requests in the past and generated many follow-up calls for clarification. FIDEX also eliminates duplicate data entry among different agencies and increases the accuracy of system data. Real-time access to case information reduces case processing time by allowing crime laboratory managers to determine the disposition of cases that may have been plea-bargained or dismissed in the courts, allowing them to make informed decisions about prioritizing casework. National Forensic Science Technology Center 2 Final Project Report FIDEX The processing of a forensic case requires information and coordination among multiple practitioners within a jurisdiction. The FIDEX project supports the exchange of evidence-related information by facilitating the request for forensic services, linking laboratory information management systems (LIMS) with other criminal justice information systems and using the Information Exchange Package Documents (IEPDs) to exchange data about case submissions and case dispositions. Law enforcement agencies, crime laboratories and the courts can benefit from new information exchanges that improve the efficiency of forensic services requests and improve communication with the courts about case status. By facilitating real-time, end-to-end data sharing among all agencies involved, the FIDEX project has significant potential to decrease the backlog of cases in the country’s crime laboratories, while providing a high return on investment (ROI) through the efficiencies that can be achieved over conventional paper-based processes. Description and Goals Many stakeholders within the criminal justice system have information management systems, but these systems were not developed to be interoperable, resulting in information gaps. As a result, reconciling case-related information among law enforcement, crime laboratories and prosecutors’ offices creates a burden that adversely affects a crime laboratory’s processes, leading to significant backlogs. The goal of the FIDEX project is to enhance the exchange of forensic information and data among criminal justice stakeholders. This can be accomplished by providing a modular, portable, NIEM-compliant, reusable XML data format and supporting documentation to criminal justice agencies wishing to share forensic information electronically. National Forensic Science Technology Center 3 Final Project Report FIDEX The FIDEX system consists of a Web portal that acts as a central hub running on an intranet server at the crime laboratory. Two standardized sets of Information Exchange Package Documents (IEPDs) help agencies with disparate systems to map their data so a laboratory information management system (LIMS) can efficiently and accurately exchange information with a records management system (RMS) or an evidence management system (EMS). Two IEPDs have been developed thus far, one for submitting forensic case evidence to the crime laboratory and one for following the disposition of court cases for which forensic evidence has been submitted. The FIDEX portal demonstrates the data elements and functionality of the IEPDs, giving implementers the opportunity to interface with other systems in a practical environment. By standardizing the case submission process for law enforcement, FIDEX streamlines case intake and management procedures within the crime laboratory. And by electronically determining the real-time status of court cases through the FIDEX portal, crime laboratories can reduce their backlogs by identifying cases that have been dismissed or plea bargained in the courts and no longer need crime laboratory analysis. Major milestones in FIDEX project activities spanning the period from January 2007 to December 2009 include: National Forensic Science Technology Center 4 Final Project Report FIDEX Project Analysis and Planning Establishing the FIDEX Working Group: Defining Forensic Exchange Methods and Opportunities Arizona Criminal Justice Commission (ACJC) Exchange Analysis Subgroup Activities Information Exchange Package Documentation (IEPD) Development and Publishing FIDEX Portal Planning and Development Pilot Testing Activities for Phoenix PD and Boston PD A full timeline of FIDEX development and implementation activities is included in Appendix B, and Appendices C and D contain the names of individuals who participated in the FIDEX working groups. Appendix E contains a concept paper about FIDEX that was distributed to potential agency partners by the Arizona Department of Public Safety. An early goal of the project, as identified by the FIDEX Advisory Group, was the need to build partnerships that represented key stakeholders in the reduction of crime laboratory backlogs and to involve them in the project, especially in terms of mapping out workflow and business processes. The FIDEX team used that information to develop the data requirements on which the IEPDs were based. A particularly useful FIDEX feature includes a management reporting tool, the Executive Dashboard, which allows informed resource allocation based on real-time data about the status within the court system of the laboratory’s backlogged cases. This feature supports improved, more efficient workflow management for crime laboratories and the agencies they work with. Unlike most criminal justice systems, FIDEX aggregates and reports data in a variety of ways, and the reports can be customized to meet specific managerial needs. For example, a laboratory manager may want to see the backlogged workloads of different analysts in the lab. FIDEX can National Forensic Science Technology Center 5 Final Project Report FIDEX produce this user-friendly graphic to help the manager distribute the workload more evenly among the analysts. With this customizable Dashboard reporting, laboratory managers can get the real-time pulse of the organization and the workflow. They can better distribute caseloads, identify patterns of backlogged cases and better schedule yearly vacations. Furthermore, by using the Case Detail screen and the system’s e-mail alert feature, managers can monitor a case and raise its priority as the case’s court date approaches, avoiding a continuation. FIDEX information sharing increases the efficiency of data exchange through scalable integration of previously isolated information systems in the law enforcement community. The electronic platform for submission of forensic examination requests not only streamlines the case National Forensic Science Technology Center 6 Final Project Report FIDEX management intake procedure within the laboratory, it also significantly improves business processes across jurisdictions, including law enforcement. For example, the system will automatically send an e-mail to criminal justice professionals involved in a case anytime the status of the case changes or when new evidence is added to a case. FIDEX allows agencies to interconnect and share case information, eliminating the silo effect in which all stakeholder agencies have essentially the same information but don’t effectively exchange data, often operating in virtual isolation. FIDEX represents a significant step toward integrating data from different agencies in the justice community, leveraging Webbased technology to facilitate information sharing among crime laboratories and law enforcement agencies, which will ultimately reduce crime laboratory backlogs. Results from Pilot Tests The Boston Police Department and crime laboratory have fully implemented FIDEX and the Phoenix Police Department is in the early stages of implementation. With only two small pilot implementations accomplished under this grant, performance metrics will have to wait until the system is deployed on a larger scale and for a longer period of time. However, both implementations did result in improved business processes; a streamlined, paperless method of submitting evidence to the crime lab; elimination of duplicate data entry with the auto-populate feature; and increased accuracy. Other benefits include: Reduced procedural time Real-time access to information Clarification from case agent to laboratory and vice versa Immediate and accurate status of analyses Court disposition of cases National Forensic Science Technology Center 7 Final Project Report FIDEX Ease of use with a user-friendly Web interface Minimal cost to implement More effective use of manpower and other resources FIDEX represents a ground-breaking step toward faster resolution of crime laboratory casework, reducing backlogs and benefiting law enforcement agencies, crime laboratories and the community as a whole. Because the system is scalable, it can be implemented at a size and scale proportionate to the business complexity and technical issues of any site wishing to implement it. Regardless of agency size, the FIDEX portal and IEPDs allow implementation partners to ensure that data elements and functional requirements align with their specific business requirements, while providing a model environment for practitioners to test and evaluate its components, modifying the system as necessary to meet internal needs. Lessons Learned FIDEX represents many firsts in criminal justice data exchange among disparate systems that were not designed to be interoperable, including the mapping of data elements between systems. The FIDEX business process model works for the most diverse software environments, and the IEPDs and portal can be configured to work with records management systems, evidence management systems and laboratory information management systems. The software is highly configurable, allowing laboratories and agencies to customize the amount of data validation performed during crime laboratory examination requests. Among the lessons learned during the FIDEX development and pilot implementation: Engage strategic partners early in the process. Don’t be afraid to ask many questions, especially about business processes. Take a hard look at the problems that need to be solved. National Forensic Science Technology Center 8 Final Project Report FIDEX Be willing to learn from another organization’s success. Understand the solution may be complex, and the concept may change during the process. The pilot tests revealed that FIDEX offers many potential benefits to the justice community. For example, FIDEX enhances interagency communication and has the capability to enhance intra-agency communication, as well. Instead of data residing in separate silos that require duplicative data entry, which invites error, FIDEX facilitates investigative case management by ensuring that data is shared accurately and completely with all agencies and departments involved. For agencies wishing to implement FIDEX to improve the exchange of forensic data, an implementation guide has been written as a companion piece to this project report. The guide covers technical and business aspects of installing the FIDEX portal and using the IEPDs for data exchange between the crime laboratory and other criminal justice agencies. An important consideration when implementing FIDEX is the return on investment. Tremendous savings in time, money and efficiency result from a FIDEX implementation within a jurisdiction. The cost to an agency is scalable based on the size of the server they plan to use and the number of systems they want to link into FIDEX. Another big savings comes from analyzing the workflow between the crime laboratory and the submitting agencies and modifying the FIDEX system to best accommodate and maximize the efficiency of the workflow. Another lesson learned is that the FIDEX Dashboard feature gives crime laboratory managers a robust tool that aggregates and reports on data in the system, providing management with customizable detailed information about incoming cases and the status of existing cases for informed decision-making and resource allocation. National Forensic Science Technology Center 9 Final Project Report FIDEX In some cases, an investigator may submit pieces of evidence for the same case at different times. With FIDEX, the crime laboratory analyst is notified by e-mail when subsequent evidence is submitted for a case, bridging the information gap. From an evidentiary standpoint, this allows the analyst to constantly reassess which pieces of evidence have the greatest probative value. As FIDEX implementations increase, the collection of metrics should show an empirical decrease in the number of backlogged crime laboratory cases. Conclusion and Possible Next Steps One of the suggested future goals is to expand the portal to create an overarching case management system that adds prosecutors to the mix, facilitating communication among the prosecutor, the crime laboratory and the law enforcement investigator. Other possible next steps could include interfacing with CODIS and eventually with ViCAP. A future national strategy National Forensic Science Technology Center 10 Final Project Report FIDEX might also include connecting with regional, state and national law enforcement databases and with the FBI’s Law Enforcement National Data Exchange (N-DEx), which can be reached at http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cjisd/ndex/ndex_home.htm. By implementing FIDEX on regional or statewide scales, the system could return more benefits and further reduce crime laboratory backlogs. The FIDEX team has also maintained a partnership with industry through the IJIS Institute and its data exchange initiatives. To date, FIDEX has been presented and demonstrated at the following conferences: The National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) Training Event in 2009 National Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (Nlets) 5th Annual Implementers Conference in 2008 The National Association for Justice Information Systems (NAJIS) in 2008 Law Enforcement Information Management (LEIM) in 2008 Other methods of spreading the word about FIDEX and its potential to reduce crime laboratory backlogs include potential articles to be published in industry magazines, such as the article about FIDEX that appeared in the March 2009 issue of Public Safety IT magazine. A copy of that article appears in Appendix F. Additional awareness and outreach activities might include presenting at professional conferences, conducting technical demonstrations and developing relationships with state Criminal Justice Integrated Systems (CJIS). By leveraging existing NIEM and XML standards, the FIDEX project allows agencies to share, acquire and repurpose data as a means of bridging information gaps. Recognizing the important role that streamlining case management can play in reducing backlogs, thereby saving valuable time and monetary resources, the National Institute of Justice has built a system to equip our nation’s crime laboratories with a standardized tool that can provide a mechanism for the interoperability of forensic case information sharing.
