- Community Project Funding Request - Harris County Regional Law Enforcement Data Sharing Platform
Agency: Department of Justice
Bureau: Community Oriented Policing Services
Account: Technology and Equipment
The inability of the 63 Law Enforcement agencies in Harris County to share real-time data about active criminals and investigations has been an issue for Harris County law enforcement agencies since we started utilizing computer technology in the early 1980’s. Criminals do not limit their criminal activity to any one specific law enforcement jurisdiction or community in the metropolitan area. If a municipality makes an arrest, it is difficult to determine the scope of the criminal activity beyond one jurisdiction or discern if there are additional victims. Because criminal enterprises in Harris County are inextricably connected and geographically vast, a lack of coordination diminishes our ability to protect our communities and serve our citizens. The project supported by this funding request will create the opportunity for Harris County law enforcement agencies to share real-time criminal investigative information with each other. Criminal cases will be able to be solved more quickly, and criminals will be identified and linked to all of the crimes they have committed across jurisdictional boundaries. The benefit to the residents of Harris County and to the agencies participating in this project will be invaluable. Public safety is the greatest expression of a government’s commitment to the citizens it serves. This project will improve public safety, enabling law enforcement agencies to share crime information with one another, streamline data searches, and react in real time to suppress crime and apprehend criminals.
