FBI Unveils Nationwide N-Dex Deployment

Wilson P. Dizard III writes on GCN.com:

The FBI's Criminal Justice Information Service today unveiled the long-planned first increment of the National Data Exchange information sharing web.

"N-DEx will enable all law enforcement agencies to share incident reports, correlate crime data and collaborate on criminal justice investigations on a national basis," according to a Raytheon press announcement cleared by the bureau.

The bureau's Criminal Justice Information Division, based in Clarksburg, W.Va., sponsored the system. The network is intended to enable law enforcement agencies at the federal, state and local level to collaborate on their investigative work by sharing information held in one another's data systems.

The FBI and prime contractor Raytheon have relied on advice from the fledgling system's prospective users in law enforcement agencies nationwide to set the priorities of the N-DEx capabilities that will be progressively rolled out over the next three years.
