Northern Mariana Islands FY24 NCHIPSF

Under this award, the Criminal Justice Planning Agency (CJPA) requests funds to implement the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) Network. The main goal of the CJIS network is to connect all criminal justice agencies within the commonwealth so that information can be shared efficiently and in a timely manner. CJPA is requesting funds to contract with a provider to bring CNMI’s CJIS network to a cloud-based infrastructure, alleviating huge upfront costs associated with an on-premise infrastructure model. Funds are also requested to hire one dedicated CJIS personnel to handle the day-to-day operations of the project.
