IACP N-DEx DISCUSSION WITH SEARCH MEMBERSHIP The request of SEARCH membership is to have a discussion regarding N-DEx implementation, especially as related to the role of the states and the effect of the new IACP outreach effort. IACP's message is that N-DEx is a valuable new investigative resource for their members, that it is the nationally scaled system for sharing law enforcement incidents. IACP has created an N-DEx Outreach Program Office to get the word out to all their members, and all law enforcement agencies. The N-DEx outreach contractors want to hear from SEARCH on the issues facing the states for successful implementation, how best to address those issues, recommendations on how to bring the message to all law enforcement agencies, the role that SEARCH can play, and any other considerations regarding successful implementation of this important new system. Enclosed are two reference documents for review prior to the presentation. The first is a National Strategy statement for review as an approved policy statement. The second is a DRAFT State Profile of N-DEx implementation status that has been created in response to a call from IACP for creation of a national profile of N-DEx implementation status. The hope is to have an interactive discussion with SEARCH members of what should be in the profile, and of the policy and operational issues related to the items listed on the profile, and others that the states must address.
National Strategy for Law Enforcement Incident Sharing The FBI s National Data Exchange (N-DEx) is the nationally scaled system. It will house information from agencies across the nation. N-DEx will accept data from and/or establish sharing relationship with state systems, regional information sharing systems, local systems, and from federal systems. FBI has asked the state CSOs to coordinate information sharing and submissions to N-DEx within each state. Where there is a state-level information sharing system, that system will send data to or establish a data sharing relationship with N-DEx. Existing (and new) Intra-state Regional Information Sharing Systems will continue to exist and serve the specific needs of the regions. The Regional systems will send data to or establish a data sharing relationship with the state system in which they reside, if requested by the CSO. The state can send the regional system s data to N-DEx, or may allow the regional system to send it directly to N-DEx as well as the state. This strategy allows local agencies to choose to participate in regional information sharing systems and not lose the benefits of the state system or N- DEx. In states where there is no state or regional system, FBI may accept data directly from local agencies. Every effort will be made to coordinate with the CSO on the direct local agency submissions.

DRAFT STATE PROFILE OF N-DEx STATUS This profile is intended to describe the overall status of each state. The purpose is to assist FBI and IACP in creating a national description of N-DEx implementation and participation. The goal is to help in planning for the successful implementation of N-DEx across the country. The profile should have a short description, where appropriate, related to the identified data items. State-sensitive data would not be published, but only used by FBI and IACP.

The IACP N-DEx Outreach Effort: A Discussion with the SEARCH Membership SEARCH Membership Group Meeting Washington, D. C. November 2009 1
IACP/FBI Partnership The International Association of Chiefs of Police is the world's oldest and largest nonprofit membership organization of police executives. Over 21,000 members in more than 100 different countries. Leadership consists of the operating chief executives of international, federal, state and local agencies of all sizes. National leadership role in law enforcement issues 2
The Message from IACP FBI has built N-DEx in coordination with local law enforcement through the CJIS Advisory Process, including direct input from Subject Matter Experts and from the IACP CJIS Committee. N-DEx is operational as a member of the CJIS family of systems, and is governed by the APB and is the nationally scaled system for sharing law enforcement incident and related data. As with the other CJIS Systems, N-DEx is under the shared management of the CJIS Systems Officer. 3
National Information Sharing N-DEx brings together incident and case reports, booking and incarceration data, and parole/probation data from law enforcement agencies (LEAs) throughout the United States, which has never been done before. Detects relationships between people, vehicle/property, location and/or crime characteristics. Links information across jurisdictions. Connects the dots between data that is not seemingly related. Supports multi-jurisdictional task forces. 4
The Role of N-DEx To augment the national CJIS infrastructure with a system for sharing law enforcement incident and other criminal justice data not now shared by the CJIS systems. As the nationally scaled system, to connect the existing regional information systems. To provide all law enforcement agencies the means to share their incident and related data nationally. 5

Law Enforcement Information Sharing Program (LEISP) Plan The LEISP strategy enables a vision where accurate and timely law enforcement information is seamlessly shared across jurisdictional boundaries to enhance America's ability to deter and prosecute criminal activities and terrorism. The LEISP vision is for a future where law enforcement will be able to: access all shareable DOJ information as standard operating procedure through a Department-wide integrated technology architecture; deploy powerful new capabilities to search, analyze, and disseminate data and investigative information from across the entire law enforcement community; spend more time transforming information into knowledge and less time in finding and requesting data/information; and routinely share information across the entire law enforcement community because of cooperatively developed standards, processes, and practices for ensuring privacy, security, and accountability. 11
National Strategy for Law Enforcement Incident Sharing Law Enforcement National Data Exchange (N-DEx) is functional. N-DEx is the nationally scaled system. It houses information from agencies across the nation. N-DEx accepts data from and/or establishes sharing relationships with state systems, regional information sharing systems, local systems, and federal systems. Existing (and new) Intra-state Regional Information Sharing Systems will continue to exist and serve the specific needs of the regions. FBI has asked the state CSOs to coordinate information sharing and submissions to N-DEx within each state. Approved by vote (the full text of the plan as provided in SEARCH program materials): CJIS Advisory Policy Board IACP CJIS Committee 12
The Solution N-DEx is the system by which local law enforcement agencies can fulfill their responsibility to share their information nationally. The shared IACP and FBI goal is for all law enforcement agencies to participate. The most efficient model is for the states to take up the traditional CJIS role as state concentrator, but data coming through regional systems or even individually is acceptable to FBI, and serves the goal of total participation.. 13
Discussion Items The IACP CJIS Committee asked for a description of the national status of N-DEx implementation. The purpose is to assist FBI and IACP in creating a national description of N-DEx implementation and participation. The goal is to help in planning for the successful implementation of N-DEx across the country. The status is best described by capturing the plans and status of each state in a CSO profile. IACP is asking for SEARCH feedback on the draft profile as well as the Outreach Effort including: How best to communicate with the IACP membership while at the same time coordinating with the states What are the most significant challenges facing the states (and locals) How best to coordinate with the regional information sharing systems Requesting feedback on the participation models being employed or planned State repository contributor only State and regional contribution Regional and no state Regional and/or local and no state Requesting SEARCH to provide feedback on a resolution of N-DEx as the national information sharing. 14
