Privacy and Civil Liberties Policy Development Guide and Implementation Templates

Citation: U.S. Department of Justice, "Privacy and Civil Liberties Policy Development Guide and Implementation Templates" (2007).

Overview
The Privacy and Civil Liberties Policy Development Guide and Implementation Templates was developed through a collaborative effort of the Global Privacy and Information Quality Working Group (GPIQWG) of the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative (Global). Global serves as a Federal Advisory Committee (FAC) and advises the U.S. Attorney General on justice information sharing and integration initiatives.

Geared toward the justice executive to engender awareness about the topic, this publication makes the case for privacy and civil liberties policy development and underscores the importance of leadership in promoting privacy and civil liberties issues within justice agencies. This document applies settled privacy and civil liberties principles to justice information sharing systems, addresses applicable legal mandates, and makes recommendations on best practices to ensure privacy, civil liberties, and information quality protection.
