TCJIUG Texas Criminal Justice Information Users' Group P. O. Box 53092 Houston, Texas 77052 A statewide organization of law enforcement, communications and information systems personnel working to improve the criminal justice system throughout the state, to improve working relationships and to promote the education of its membership. The Texas Criminal Justice Information User's Group (TCJIUG) is a nonprofit (501 C.3), apolitical organization governed by bylaws initially adopted in January 1974 and incorporated in 1977. Due to technological advancement, funding changes and membership diversification, the general focus of TCJIUG has changed over the years, but the basic objectives of the organization have remained constant: o Placing emphasis on delivery of information, education and training to organization members. o Progressively moving the organization forward to serve the needs of the membership and the Criminal Justice sector. o Exploring methods of applying technology to industry needs and making technology solutions more readily and economically available to users o Exploring every method possible to cut costs and maintain a responsible economic approach to activities without sacrificing quality. o Maintaining good working relationships with State and Federal agencies and promoting new relationships with other criminal justice organizations. TCJIUG members consist mainly of operational, management and political levels of law enforcement, communications and information systems personnel, with members from related fields in associate membership roles. Your membership in TCJIUG provides you and your agency the benefits of input into the formation of policy matters arising out of new legislation; quality education and training at low cost and networking opportunities among peers from across the state.
TCJIUG is playing an important role in the exploration and development of Integrated Justice Information Systems (IJIS) statewide by sponsoring regular meetings of exploratory groups and providing program segments related to IJIS. Our membership has been called upon to serve on committees to establish procedures for the implementation CJIS reporting for all agencies. General educational conferences/business meetings are held annually. The three-day general conferences of presentations on technology, new criminal justice legislation, and management practices often draw over one hundred members and representatives of related vendor entities. TCJIUG is a training provider for TCLEOSE with frequently scheduled DPS trainers and other trainers for special programs like Domestic Violence, Cultural Diversity, Racial Profiling, Asset Forfeiture and Hate Crime Reporting. Full day TAC and TLETS operator training is featured at each general conference. Each conference may provide up to 16 hours of TCLEOSE credit. TCJIUG also provides introductory training in technical fields such as geographical information systems (GIS) and web applications development The Department of Public Safety, the Attorney General's Office, and the Criminal Justice Planning Council are frequent presenters at our conferences. Because the presenters are also members of our organization, there is an opportunity to informally discuss your particular agency's needs with the people responsible for the programs affecting your daily functions. TCJIUG has created standing committees in an effort to attain the previous objectives. Each of the standing committees is chaired by a Board member and has established goals and guidelines. TCJIUG was formally organized at a meeting held in Dallas, Texas September 27-28, 1973. The organization developed gradually over a period of years beginning with irregular meetings in Austin, Texas sponsored by the staff of the Criminal Justice Council during the late 1960s. All agencies that received grants or applied for grants were required to attend these meetings. Each grantee gave a brief description of the status of their projects and common problems were discussed. From these meetings, a need was identified to assist agencies with the increasingly complex challenges of new technology. During the mid 1980s, TCJIUG grew from the original 30 members to more than 200 dues paying members, representing state, county and local agencies from all facets of the criminal justice system. The Officers and Board of Directors will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have regarding our organization. Or if you would like information about membership, call or e-mail any of the Officers (addresses and phone numbers can be found at www.tcjiug.com)
