OJBC: Collaborating, Sharing, Reusing

OJBC > Membership

Who Are OJBC Members?

OJBC Members are criminal justice and public safety government entities at all levels—local, state, tribal, and federal.  Using the Open Justice Broker technology platform, OJBC members develop information sharing capabilities collaboratively and collectively, then share and reuse them. OJBC Membership provides a low-cost way for jurisdictions to acquire and use technology for critical justice information exchanges.

The OJB source code is available under an open source license, which means anybody can access it at no cost—subject to certain rights, privileges, and obligations. But membership in the OJB Consortium offers additional valuable benefits:

OJB Participation

  • Get access to all core OJB features and information exchanges
  • Contribute exchanges from their own projects for reuse and enhancement by others
  • Benefit from the ongoing evolution and expansion of the platform—as new capabilities are added, they available for immediate reuse
  • Support from OJBC staff experts to develop and/or implement information sharing capabilities
  • Attendance at annual OJB Implementers Conference
  • Participate in OJBC Governance
