Role overview
The use of information and communications technology (ICT) in the digitalisation of transactions and services is viewed as a key driver for the competitiveness of the government in providing better services. One of the main thrusts of the 2023 Philippine Development Plan (2023 PDP) is for the justice sector to “use digital technology and build a robust, efficient, and disaster-resilient ICT architecture for the justice sector.”
One of the priority ICT programmes identified by the sub-chapter on Administration of Justice of the 2023 PDP is the National Justice Information System (NJIS). The NJIS is an Information and Communications Technology-based tool envisioned to facilitate the management and exchange of vital information across law enforcement and justice sector agencies in the discharge of their statutorily mandated public functions. The NJIS has been included in the 2011-2016, 2017-2022, and the current 2023-2028 PDP.
It is envisioned to be a seamless, knowledge-based and knowledge-driven interface and portal that will solve information gaps and address collaboration issues in the justice system. It is anchored on a secured platform that links justice sector agencies for a holistic approach to crime prevention and resolution.
This mission will support the Department of Justice in implementing the following NJIS Projects by providing additional software developers:
- NJIS Middleware Exchange Platform
- Interoperability layer of each of the NJIS implementing agencies
- Enhancements/ Refactoring of the Bureau of Corrections Inmate Management Information Systems that includes the updating of the Good Conduct Time allowance computation
- Development of API of the Philippine Crime Index Research System (PCIRS) to accommodate public research and optimize performance on the system’s current features
