1.0 PURPOSE.
This document outlines the scope of objectives for the implementation of the Department of Justice (DOJ) United States Attorneys’ Office for the District of Columbia’s (USAO-DC’s) new Prosecutors’ Case Management System (PCMS). USAO-DC requires the services of a contractor to provide a PCMS that can be customized, as well as the services required to implement and support the system. This project will include extensive collaborative partnering and iterative development efforts working directly with the USAO-DC and the Executive Office for U.S.
Attorneys (EOUSA) personnel to ensure all needs are met.
The purpose of the PCMS Implementation project is to provide improved usability and easy access to all case and case-related data to accelerate routine prosecutorial tasks so that the U.S. Attorney (USA) and Assistant U.S. Attorneys (AUSAs) may more efficiently complete mission critical work.
The PCMS procurement must provide a product with an interfacing platform service upon which the USAO-DC’s existing databases and associated legacy data may be migrated to permit updated interfacing capabilities to send, receive, store, and process critical criminal justice data.
Project Objective # 1 Create a “person-centric” case and records management system to allow for examination of an individuals’ case history, whether they were a witness, perpetrator, and/or victim, as well as tracking of discovery communications.
Project Objective # 2 Streamline and automate the process for case screening, intake, charging, and prosecution with all-inclusive case tracking and customization capabilities.
Project Objective # 3 Exercise PCMS APIs to programmatically insert external data into and extract data from PCMS so as to maintain the current exchange of information from and to other agencies.
Project Objective # 4 Enable higher visibility into case management data for both historical and active data analysis to support process improvement insights, charging decisions, plea bargaining, and disclosure obligation compliance.
Project Objective # 5
Implement case document management, digital evidence management, and secure file exchange that provides efficient access, review, and ultimately disclosure to third parties (eg defense attorneys). This may be fulfilled by tools native to PCMS implementation, or through PCMS APIs that enable integration with third party tools like Evidence.com©, Box©, and an EDMS (eg NetDocuments©).
* Project Objectives not necessarily listed in order of priority.
2.0 BACKGROUND.
USAO-DC is unique among USAOs in the size and scope of its work. USAO-DC serves as both the local and the federal prosecutor’s office for the nation’s capital. On the local side (known as the “Superior Court Division”), these prosecutions range from misdemeanor drug possession cases to murders. On the federal side, these prosecutions include gang crime, financial fraud, and terrorism.
The USAO-DC has an installed Justice Consolidated Office Network (JCON) network with several database systems (legal case tracking and administrative). Currently, the USAO-DC utilizes a legacy case management system called the Replicated Criminal Information System (RCIS). The system currently uses ORACLE Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) 19C on
Redhat Linux servers with the front-end application hosted on Oracle Forms and Reports 12C / WebLogic 12C using Redhat Linux Virtual Machines. This statement of objectives (SOO) outlines the scope of the configuration, data migration, data interfaces, testing, customization, and support services for the new PCMS that will replace the RCIS, the Automated Papering System (APS), and other customized in-house applications. This includes various user and data interfaces (Inbound and Outbound) both internal and with other local criminal justice agencies such as DC Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), DC Superior Court, Pretrial Services Agency (PSA), and Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC). Figure 01 shows the current External RCIS architecture.
Appendix A shows this diagram as well as a future architecture visualization of the data connections that will be necessary for the PCMS.
Figure 01: High-Level As-Is External Architecture Diagram
Note: The transaction numbers in Figure 01 are outlined in more detail in Appendix I: External Data Transactions.xlsx.
The PCMS shall allow for maximum reuse of existing configurations supporting interface capabilities that permit exchange of internal, inbound, and outbound data with other agencies, law enforcement, and criminal justice entities. To accomplish this, the USAO-DC requires a contractor to supply and implement a commercially available interfacing platform product to modernize critical upgrades to existing data interface capabilities with District of Columbia Criminal Justice entities.
The RCIS application resides on WebLogic/Redhat Linux servers. The RCIS external data interfaces run on Windows 2019 Internet Information Services (IIS). This comprises the primary system to be migrated and enhanced with the PCMS. RCIS has 375 tables and is 400 GB in size, with a document repository that is 20 TB in size. RCIS currently interfaces with a variety of other
Oracle 19C databases both within the JCON network and externally; the interfaces must remain intact and operational for a successful PCMS Go-Live deployment.
The database provides access to approximately 500 users via PIV/CAC authentication using SAML (implemented utilizing Okta) over VPN. This method of authentication for EOUSA must remain intact. These users receive a variety of scheduled reports via RCIS Windows Scheduler in the form of email, DB link, or XML via Web Service. There are a variety of forms and reports that must be accommodated in the PCMS solution and operate normally for a successful Go-Live deployment. These reports and forms are detailed in Appendix B: Reports Index.xls and Appendix C: Required Forms Index.xlsx. The contractor must recommend how to improve, consolidate, and/or replace these reports with PCMS tool features as appropriate so long as information sharing is accommodated as needed.
RCIS (the USAO-DC’s legacy PCMS) requires replacement because it is built on antiquated technology that the DOJ is no longer licensing and it no longer meets critical business needs of the Superior Court Division, which functions largely like a large District Attorneys (DA’s) Office.
Furthermore, RCIS has been under development for over 15 years and is now a patchwork quilt of data and functionality, which is neither technically- nor process-optimized.
The tasks RCIS performs, such as generating certain case-specific documents from standard templates, are too cumbersome to use effectively. Meanwhile, the tasks required of prosecutors have steadily increased, especially with the addition of body worn camera footage and complex disclosure obligations in nearly every case. A functional and efficient PCMS is critical given the high-volume nature of Superior Court Division practice, where misdemeanor prosecutors routinely carry caseloads of 150+ cases and some felony AUSAs now have 100 cases or more. Currently, RCIS houses more than 600,000 cases and more than 700,000 witnesses, victims, and defendants.
Given this volume, the USAO-DC requires a PCMS that simplifies routine tasks for prosecutors so they can focus on evaluating and preparing their cases, instead of performing administrative tasks related to their cases. Additionally, the District of Columbia plans to overhaul its Criminal Code, creating new statutes and a new penalty structure for most criminal offenses. Therefore, USAO- DC will be charging using two criminal codes simultaneously, depending upon offense date, and the PCMS must facilitate and handle the administrative burden of this transition.
RCIS is not only deficient in the services that it provides prosecutors, but in how it organizes data.
While RCIS exchanges information with data interfaces from and to other criminal justice agencies, it does not allow for easy access to the ingested data. For example, in the District of Columbia, individuals are often involved in more than one case and may have different roles in each one: either as perpetrators, victims, or witnesses, with upwards of several dozens of interactions with law enforcement and the USAO-DC throughout their life. Understanding the history of these interactions for each person is essential for making charging decisions, issuing plea offers, and complying with disclosure obligations. In short, the work in Superior Court prosecutions is “person-centric.” However, the data pertaining to these witnesses, victims, and defendants comes from various law enforcement agencies who enter data differently with inconsistencies.
In the new system, the following capabilities must be available for the system to be truly “person-centric”:
1. All Persons are defined uniquely and stored in one place – a Person table for example. Regardless of the Person’s role in any case, the Person will be stored once and related to an Entity (Case, Arrest etc.) based on the Role. Roles can include Defendant, Witness, Law Enforcement, Victim, etc. For example, a Person may be a Defendant in one Case and a Witness in a different case.
2. Changes to a Person’s profile will save or ‘Alias’ previous profiles.
3. Person Searches will return all instances of the Person in all of their Roles for various
Cases, Investigations, Warrants, Arrests etc. Searches will be organized by Role type for ease in viewing.
4. Person Searches will show existing co-defendant relationships.
Today, RCIS provides no reliable way to track individuals across cases or easily find this vital information, leaving prosecutors to conduct a patchwork of document and electronic searches to try to find this information. Nor does RCIS provide a way to track discovery that is provided to defense counsel, which is particularly crucial given the frequent turnover of prosecutors on cases and the fast- and high-volume nature of the practice. A person-centric case management system that allows tracking of discovery will allow Superior Court Division prosecutors to better fulfill their ethical and other obligations in discovery, and lead to more just and informed prosecutorial decisions.
