Privacy and Information Quality Policy Development for the Justice Decision Maker Privacy and Information Quality Policy Development for the Justice Decision Maker introduces the framework for a systematic consideration of privacy and information quality policy and practices within your agency. Since 9/11, few would argue against the criticality of justice information exchange. However, while pursuing a broadscale sharing capability, decision makers must also vigorously protect our constitutional privacy rights and ensure information quality and accuracy. In short: agencies need privacy and information quality policies to guide their information sharing efforts. Many good resources already exist, helping justice and public safety leaders make the best possible business decisions in their information sharing practices, including addressing privacy and data quality concerns.
