Global Privacy and Information Quality Working Group

The Global Privacy and Information Quality Working Group (GPIQWG) provides resources accessible online to assist justice agencies interested in considering the civil rights and civil liberties implications of their information collection and sharing initiatives.

It addresses accuracy and reliability issues involved in updating criminal history records with subsequent events (e.g., prosecution, adjudication) when those events cannot be linked to an arrest notation previously entered into the criminal history repository. This work includes exploring biometrics technologies and addressing the privacy and information quality issues these technologies present.
