JNET Vision To be the data integration innovation leader for Pennsylvania’s criminal justice and
public safety communities.
JNET Mission To provide highly-available, secure, and accurate data and integration services to
Pennsylvania’s criminal justice and public safety communities.
The Pennsylvania Justice Network (JNET), an office within the Pennsylvania
Office of Administration, Office of Information Technology, Public Safety Delivery Center,
provides a common online environment for authorized users to access public safety and
criminal justice information. This critical information comes from various contributing
municipal, county, state and federal agencies. Information available on JNET is protected
by policy, advanced authentication, secure connectivity and role-based entitlements.
JNET serves its customers through both portal and messaging services.
One-time data entry has improved the effectiveness of participating agencies and has
significantly improved data accuracy throughout the commonwealth's criminal justice
system. Information entered into a records management system at the onset of an
investigation can now follow the offender through the criminal justice system from
beginning to end. As offenders pass through the gateway of justice all the way to post-
sentencing supervision, offender information flows with the offender's progression.
“This would not have happened without the magic of JNET.”

JNET Messaging
JNET’s robust service oriented architecture supports data exchanges, event services and
notifications between local, state and federal criminal justice agencies. JNET’s flexibility
ensures that electronic record exchanges meet the specific business needs of its criminal
justice partners.
Examples of JNET messaging events or topics include: arrests, warrants, photographs,
court case events (case initiation, case bind-over, case disposition), address changes,
county or state jail admissions or releases, and Megan’s Law status updates. JNET users
can subscribe to notifications related to those events as well.
JNET notification services allow agencies or individuals to subscribe to customized events
to meet their specific business need. Whether it is a probation officer supervising active
clients or a police detective monitoring outstanding warrants, JNET notification services
can be customized to ensure that the right information is provided to the right person at
the right time.
“Notifications allow parole officers to detain, arrest and revoke offenders
who, in the past, have gotten away on violations due to the PO being
unaware of new offenses. Notifications provide real time updates so
agents can be proactive, which results in increased prosecution and
enhanced public safety.”
Lester Custer, Somerset County Adult Probation Supervisor
