The mission of the Criminal Justice Services Department is “to promote the safety of the citizens of Lewis and Clark County, the efficient and just treatment of defendants and offenders, the protection and healing of victims, and to work toward prevention of crime and the reduction of recidivism.” To that end the CJS department enlisted the assistance of the Justice Management Institute (JMI) to conduct a comprehensive review and assessment of the criminal justice data collection systems. The CJIS Initiative is focused on developing a comprehensive implementation plan for the recommendations provided by JMI.

Lewis and Clark County is soliciting responses from qualified Project Managers to select an on-site Project Manager (PM) to perform project management tasks and activities for the Lewis and Clark County Criminal Justice Information Sharing (CJIS) Initiative. The CJIS Initiative is focused on developing a comprehensive implementation plan for the recommendations provided in the accompanying Criminal Justice Data Analysis document. The PM selected for this position will be responsible for oversight of the design, development, data integration and implementation of the recommendations. This will include producing a work plan with actions intended to result in improved criminal justice data systems. The goal is data collection which can be used to review and analyze for improvements to the County criminal justice system.

Successful candidate will work closely with, and report to, the Criminal Justice Services Department Director. Additional resources from the creation of a Criminal Justice Information System steering committee will be an integral part of this project and will provide an additional resource to the PM. Additionally, all work conducted by the PM will be reviewed and approved by designated staff from the City County Department of Information Technology and Services (ITS). Work hours are projected at 20 to 40 hours per week over the course of the project. The stated completion date for the CJIS project is June 30, 2022.
