“The pennsyvania district attorney's institute (pdai) does not have any employees. Pdai uses the employees of the pennsylvania district attorneys association (pdaa), a related organization, and pdaa handles all of the payroll related filing requirements. Due to pdaa employees performing work on behalf of pdai, a portion of the employees salaries are allocated to pdai based upon the employees time spent working on pdai related items. Pdai does not have a process for determining compensation since there are no employees. Pdaa has a process in place for determining the compensation for the executive director, officers and key employees. For the executive director, comparability data is obtained from other area not-for-profit organizations and pdaa's executive committee uses this information in establishing the salary.”

“For the officers and key employees, the salaries are reviewed annually by pdaa's executive committee and adjustments are determined after review of the cost of living increases and job performance considerations.”

“The organization will make copies available upon request by the public.”

“The law enforcement justice information system (lejis) is an innovative police data sharing system that works in conjunction with the pennsylvania justice network. Lejis improves patrol officer safety by providing near- real-time incident data to police in the field through their own agency's rms. It also enables investigators and supervisors to coordinate their investigations with other agencies and has led to many successful cross- jurisdictional investigations. Lejis users can quickly identify whether other law enforcement agencies have had prior contact with an individual, a piece of property or a vehicle, and provides follow-up contact information. With information more readily available, police officers and sheriffs are better equipped to increase their own safety, while detectives and district attorneys can conduct more efficient investigations.”
