Data is shared between local and federal government
Uncle Bob was a resident of California, but he did a crime in Miami by speeding up
the vehicle because of this reason uncle bob was arrested and handcuffed by the police
authorities. He returned back to his native country Florida, but the police officers were aware
about the crime that happened in California. The Miami police officers came to know about
all information through the Criminal Justice Information Services division that enables all the
criminal activities to every local and federal state agency (Cdn, 2017). It is possible due to the
presence of innovate technology in the market that have made information sharing an easy
task. There is a sharing agreement that is signed between countries that permit sharing and
exchange of all the legal agreement between parties (Koper, Lum & Willis, 2014). This is
done using N-DEx that allows states and cities to solve the criminal activities. There are many
such organisations like LEO system, NLETS that are used for information sharing. N-DEx
supports agencies to share all the criminal based information so that investigation could be
done easily and in an effective manner (Alenezi, Tarhini & Masa'deh, 2015). It helps in
detecting all the crimes that are done by people at a particular location by focusing on all the
law enforcement agencies.
The information can also be shared with LEO system that is a national interactive
computer communication system to share information between law enforcement
communities. The other method for sharing the information is R-DEx that helps in retrieving
all the documents that permit department of justice to search the crime related data of a
particular person (Provine, Varsanyi, Lewis & Decker, 2016). The third method that could be
used for sharing the information between local and federal system is RISS, regional
information sharing system. That helps in identifying the criminal activities by exchanging
information between and in the international boundaries. It supports the agencies to
coordinate with the police agencies and strict punishment could be given to the criminal
