# OneDOJ **Domain:** Austin Research / Surveillance **Doc Type:** Research entity **Source basis:** Supplied essay and the specifically identified records; verification scope is recorded in [[wiki/Austin Surveillance Evidence Ledger|the evidence ledger]]. **OneDOJ** is the DOJ sharing repository described in its privacy impact assessment as providing authorized access to criminal law-enforcement information contributed by DOJ investigative components, with the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services Division serving as executive agent. ## Regional intermediaries are part of the design The assessment explicitly describes MOUs connecting OneDOJ with regional law-enforcement consortia and describes DOJ using access to its holdings to negotiate access to regional information. Secure network connections and local interfaces turn those agreements into repeated query access. This independently supports the institutional mechanism examined in [[wiki/Interlocal Information Sharing|Interlocal Information Sharing]]. DHS’s LEIS briefing lists OneDOJ and **LEAP (NCTCOG)** among existing MOU partners. The supplied Austin essay also cites a COPsync announcement advertising LEAP users’ OneDOJ access; that specific announcement remains a retrieval lead in this integration. ## Inquiry and action have different controls The historical assessment describes investigator-selected searches, link charts, and mapping, together with restrictions on reproduction and use. It assigns data accuracy to contributors, requires corroboration, and specifies coordination with the originating agency before law-enforcement action. Those rules matter to the [[wiki/Sensor-to-Action Loop|sensor-to-action loop]]: a query result can inform an investigation without being sufficient authority for every resulting action. The node records the historical architecture and its stated rules. Their enforcement in a particular query or case is a separate operational question. ## Connected entries [[wiki/ARJIS|ARJIS]] · [[wiki/DHS Law Enforcement Information Sharing Service|DHS Law Enforcement Information Sharing Service]] · [[wiki/Law Enforcement Analysis Portal|Law Enforcement Analysis Portal]] · [[wiki/Interlocal Information Sharing|Interlocal Information Sharing]] · [[wiki/Surveillance Record Persistence|Surveillance Record Persistence]] ## Sources and corpus context - [[research/The Austin Surveillance Field|The Austin Surveillance Field]] - [DOJ — OneDOJ privacy impact assessment, §§3 and 5](https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/jmd/legacy/2013/11/23/onedoj-pia.pdf) - [DHS — Law Enforcement Information Sharing Service briefing, slides 4–16; existing MOUs on slide 15](https://info.publicintelligence.net/DHS-LEISS.pdf) **Cluster:** [[wiki/Austin Surveillance Field|Austin Surveillance Field]] · [[wiki/Austin Executable Loop|Austin Executable Loop]] · [[wiki/Austin Surveillance Evidence Ledger|Austin Surveillance Evidence Ledger]]
