While the inability of public safety agencies to communicate with one another via their radio system has been a well-publicized problem, relatively little media coverage has exposed the other communication problem: the lack of compatible computer software that would allow databases to communicate with one another. However, a new program developed by Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), the GJXDM, allows databases to seamlessly communicate with one another, providing valuable and timely information to public safety agencies. An online user guide, “Building Exchange Content Using the Global JXDM: A User Guide for Practitioners and Developers,” provides background information and an overview of the development of the GJXDM. The basics of the GJXDM standard program are explained in nontechnical language and the guide also offers direction for complying with special conditions language required by the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The World Wide Web address for the user guide is offered.
