JX Watch Feature Locates a Non-Compliant Sex Offender
Major David Jock, Chief Deputy of the Patrol Division of the Clinton County Sheriff’s Department, was looking for a level three sex offender who was wanted on a felony charge of failing to file an address change for over nine months. Jock set up this offender on a watch and received a hit showing he was booked into a jail four hours away in Onondaga County. He sent the warrant to the jail where the offender was being held and waited for him to clear his new charges before being sent back to Clinton County for prosecution.
New York Parole Absconder Caught in Georgia
Charles Sears, Parole Officer with the Absconder Search Unit of the New York State Division of Parole, had been looking for a male who was classified as a parole absconder for six months. He used the watch feature and received a notice that the male was arrested in Dekalb County in Georgia. He then looked up his booking photo and was able to verify the identity of the individual that he had been looking for. He immediately notified DeKalb County jail and advised them that the individual was wanted by New York State Parole, and he would be extraditing him back to New York.
JusticeXchange is a web-based data-sharing program that allows sheriffs and other select law enforcement agencies in New York State to share correction history throughout the state and with other participating states. Its data is populated from county jail management systems into a central repository. It is a useful tool to both corrections and law enforcement. The Sheriffs’ Association administers the site statewide for all New York users.
JusticeXchange, an information-sharing solution for criminal justice agencies nationwide, provides instant access to information about current and former offenders held in jails throughout the country. All of this information is available to authorized criminal justice agencies through a secure Web Portal.
JusticeXchange provides users with the ability to do the following:
- Search for historical and currently incarcerated offender information in participating facilities from over 30 states (currently 85% of all jail beds nationwide).
- Create a ‘watch’ to be notified by e-mail of an offender’s booking and/or release.
- Add behavioral information about currently incarcerated offenders to the database.
- Add persons of interest to the database.
Approved licensees authorized by the Sheriffs’ Association or the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services. Data is submitted to the system by all New York county jails including Westchester and NYCDOC. Other agencies within the state are allowed access for the purposes of searching data, posting watches, creating wanted posters, and a variety of other features.
JusticeXchange receives data from agencies that book and house offenders through automated interfaces to their existing jail management systems. This data is collected in near real time and is stored at a central location to allow other participating agencies to perform searches. In addition to data gathered through interfaces, agencies are allowed to add behavioral information for offenders housed in their facility and add persons of interest directly into the JusticeXchange database.
