Recommendation Number:
- Resolved. This recommendation is resolved based on JMD's agreement to develop, document, and implement a plan to complete or revise the project goals to share and exchange information in ways that reduce redundant steps between components, and to establish an offender tracking system.
We can close this recommendation when we receive and review the plan, which should contain specific tasks, milestones, a budget, and a schedule for completion of the work.
- Resolved. This recommendation is resolved based on JMD's agreement to coordinate with the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) regarding the need to deploy the Joint Automated Booking System (JABS) to all USMS sites taking custody of federal arrestees.

- Resolved. This recommendation is resolved based on JMD's agreement to establish a requirement that all federal offenders arrested by Department components be booked through JABS.

We can close this recommendation when we receive and review documentation detailing the results of JMD's evaluation of the expected new standards and how the automated booking systems' screening assessment software can be made to match the FBI's screening.
- Resolved. This recommendation is resolved based on JMD's agreement to develop a plan for the future expansion of JABS that will take into account interagency booking capabilities, provide a clear definition of the universe of offenders to be included in JABS, and focus resources to optimize future expansion.
