The Technical Services Division’s Law Enforcement Information Sharing Program (LEISP) was created in 2005 to better coordinate the many projects and initiatives that address the lack of crime data for investigative purposes, the numerous unconnected databases operated by the LASD and law enforcement in general, and the desire to effectively share crime information with our local, regional and federal law enforcement partners. The LEISP unified several functions that had been traditionally performed in separate environments, as well as many new projects that fit into the LEISP category. Here is a summary of some of the LEISP’s efforts.

INCIDENT REPORTING INFORMATION SYSTEM (IRIS) / COPLINK - IRIS addresses the numerous disparate information sources that impede our ability to easily search for crime data and information. Using a commercial product called “Coplink”, IRIS integrates information from the LASD’s records management, citation, jail information, and dispatch systems into a single database that allows quick search capability for crime analysis and investigative purposes. Coplink also provides advanced crime analysis tools that utilize business intelligence software to determine links between persons, places and things that are too timely when performed manually. IRIS currently contains more than 50 million LASD records for the past 10 years. |

REGIONAL TERRORISM INFORMATION AND INTEGRATION SYSTEM (RTIIS) - The RTIIS, governed by the Los Angeles County Police Chiefs Association, integrates the crime data from law enforcement agencies throughout Los Angeles County. The RTIIS consists of a Coplink node for the 45 municipal law enforcement agencies (other than LASD and LAPD who have their own). These three Coplink nodes will be connected so that law enforcement data, no matter the source, can be shared for investigative, crime analysis and patrol purposes. The RTIIS will provide enhanced crime analysis and search tools and allow L.A. County law enforcement agencies, for the very first time, the ability to fully share crime information automatically, enhancing our ability to solve crimes and apprehend suspects regardless of jurisdictional boundaries. LEISP staff is overseeing the development of the RTIIS which will be maintained by the LASD.

Los Angeles Regional Crime Information System (LARCIS) – LARCIS is the LASD’s automated Records Management System (RMS) for crime reports and related functions. LARCIS contains information on reported criminal activity, while providing a degree of case management and investigative support, crime analysis, and statistical reporting capabilities. Originally intended to serve as a multiagency regional records management system, LARCIS is approaching its “end-of-life” and will be eventually replaced by a commercial, off-the-shelf system that provides a significantly greater level of functionality. Requirements for that replacement RMS are now being developed. |

CRIME ASSESSMENT CENTER -
The Crime Assessment Center (CAC) is a new state-of-the-art facility for local and regional crime analysis, information sharing, and intelligence-led policing strategies. Located in the Sheriff’s Headquarters Building, the CAC’s staff of crime analyst’s provides graphic depictions of crime trends throughout the County, regardless of jurisdictional boundaries. Armed with advanced crime analysis tools, CAC personnel will turn mountains of data into useful intelligence that can be used to assist law enforcement efforts in the reduction and prevention of crime. The CAC targets the reduction of all crimes, and provides specialized resources to address “focus” crimes such as gang activity, without regard to jurisdictional boundaries through the implementation of intelligence-led policing strategies.

LASD DASHBOARD -The Dashboard is an automated program that provides users the ability to acquire timely and readily accessible information regarding criminal activity and LASD’s services throughout the County. Dashboard provides a near real-time display of information from LASD’s Computer Aided Dispatch system, such as calls for service, response times, arrests, service minutes, etc, summarized into a secure, web-based, user friendly desktop application. The information is displayed in a top level view with the ability to drill down to the details of activities or incidents of interest. Through Dashboard, users no longer need to request information from specialists but can make all queries directly from their computer and get immediate information, saving valuable time and resources while greatly enhancing our responsiveness to our government representatives. Dashboard has been awarded the Department’s Exemplary Service Award, L.A. County’s top Productivity and Quality Award for Best Overall Technology Project, and the National Association of Counties Achievement Award as a Model Program. |

ADVANCED SURVEILLANCE AND PROTECTION (ASAP) -ASAP incorporates advanced technologies to deter crime through the collection of video evidence, intelligence gathering, crime intervention and prevention. ASAP includes the integration of technologies such as video surveillance cameras in public areas, acoustic gunshot detection, mobile and fixed automated license plate recognition (ALPR), and integrated video and dispatch centers. ASAP is being piloted in the Compton Station area with support of the Compton City Council and Supervisor Yvonne Burke. However, many of the ASAP technologies are being deployed in communities throughout Los Angeles County. |

PIF/MDC PILOT - The PIF/MDC pilot is the result of grants from the Los Angeles County Productivity Investment Fund (PIF) and the National Institute of Justice. Thirty radio cars are being deployed for the purpose of testing new communications and officer safety technologies. With new Mobile Digital Computers (MDCs) utilizing commercial wireless access, these cars will provide deputies with access to new sources of information, automated report writing, email and intranet, and automated routing to calls via GPS. In addition, the cars will provide safety systems that alert the station and nearby radio cars in the event of an emergency or collision.

NATIONAL DATA EXCHANGE (N-DEx) - The FBI has initiated the National Data Exchange (NDEx) to provide law enforcement agencies throughout the United States the ability to share crime information on a national scale. N-DEx will provide agencies the ability to search, link, analyze, and share criminal justice information, such as incident/case reports, jail data, and parole/probation data from across the nation. NDEx offers investigative, tactical and strategic benefits through nationwide searches from a single-access point. The LASD plays a significant role in the concept and development of N-DEx by serving on various leadership and subject matter expert groups within the FBI’s N-DEx program.

| |
REGIONAL DATA EXCHANGE (RDEx) - The LASD has entered into an agreement with the United States Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to share crucial crime information. Known as R-DEx, the LASD now has direct access to case information from the FBI, DEA, ATF, Bureau of Prisons and U.S. Marshal. This information is available through IRIS/Coplink.
