Regionally Recognized Protection OrdersThe
Present and The Potential!
  • Denise O. Dancy
  • Court Research Associate
  • Presentation to CIDVC Meeting November 2004

3
National Issues Interstate Enforcement of
Protection Orders
Full Faith and Credit Provision Act of the 1994
Violence Against Women Act
Every temporary or final injunction, protective
order, or restraining order properly issued by a
State or tribal court must be given full faith
and credit by the court of another State or tribe
and enforced as if it were the order of the
enforcing State or tribe.
4
Local Implementation Issues
  • Resistance to change
  • Perceived lack of need
  • Heightened responsibility
  • Lack of awareness of Federal/State laws
  • Adequacy of local resources
  • Requires consistency in data entry

5
Challenges to Statewide Registries
Current Technology Capacity
Consistent Data Entry
Compliance
6
Regional Efforts BeginningsProject Passport
  • Objective To improve recognition and
    enforcement of orders of protection within and
    between states/tribes by encouraging states to
    adopt a recognizable first page for orders of
    protection
  • Creation of Model Template for first page

7
Model Template of First Page
8
Why a Model Template?
  • Commonly agreed upon data elements
  • Recognized across jurisdictions
  • Identifies Federal gun law prohibitions
  • Facilitates enforcement in the field
  • Product of multi-disciplinary consensus
  • Flexible to state statutory requirements

9
Southeastern Regional Expansion
  • Alabama-led with 7 participating states

Project Passport
  • Based on KY-initiated Model Template
  • First Tribal PO from Model Template

10
Extending Project Passport
  • 2 Western regional meetings
  • 1/3 of country (16 states, 3 territories and
    tribes)
  • XML-based form based on Model Template

12
BUT, Wait a Minute!Just What Is
  • XML? eXtensible Markup Language a technical
    language that creates specific vocabulary for
    sharing info
  • GJXDD? Global Justice XML Data Dictionary
    XML-based common vocabulary for exchanging
    information between justice information systems

13
And, whats so Great about an XML-based Form?
  • Creates consistency in language and appearance
  • Overcomes software and hardware compatibility
    issues
  • Can validate data at entry
  • Simultaneous entry of data into case management
    system, state PO registries, and NCIC PO File
  • Complies to Internet mandated coding for
    presentation of information

14
Potential for a Perfect Union
  • Electronic version of Model Template
  • Protection order one priority for courts
  • Data elements matched to NCIC and many state
    registries
  • Data elements informed by Passport element
    research
  • XML-based data transmission
  • Test use of GJXDD for courts
