What is the role of the ACJIS Advisory Board?

The ACJIS Advisory Board plays a critical role in shaping the direction and governance of the Arizona Criminal Justice Information System by providing guidance on policies and procedures. This advisory function ensures that the system operates effectively, aligns with best practices, and adheres to legal standards that govern the use of criminal justice information. The board's insights help in recommending improvements and modifications to existing policies, promoting the responsible use of the system across various agencies.

In contrast, while monitoring user access and activity, enforcing compliance with state laws, and establishing training programs are important functions within the broader framework of ACJIS operations, they fall under the purview of operational management and administrative responsibilities rather than the advisory role specifically assigned to the board. The board's focus on guiding policies aligns with its overarching mission to enhance the integrity and performance of the ACJIS.
