General information
RISS was established almost 40 years ago and is a valuable and cost-effective program that is used and trusted by hundreds of thousands of officers and criminal justice professionals in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories, Australia, Canada, England, and New Zealand. RISS offers secure information sharing and communications capabilities, critical analytical and investigative support services, and event deconfliction to enhance officer safety. RISS supports efforts against organized and violent crime, gang activity, drug activity, terrorism, human trafficking, identity theft, and other regional priorities. RISS supports thousands of local, state, federal, and tribal criminal justice agencies in their efforts to successfully resolve criminal investigations and ensure officer safety. RISS consists of six regional centers and the RISS Technology Support Center. RISS is congressionally funded and administered by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). BJA provides funding oversight and program management for the RISS Program. Although RISS is congressionally funded, it is locally managed. RISS firmly recognizes the need to ensure that an individual’s constitutional rights, civil liberties, civil rights, and privacy interests are protected. RISS has adopted a privacy policy that fully complies with the Criminal Intelligence Systems Operating Policies federal regulation (28 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Part 23) and is based on the Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative (Global) privacy guidelines. All RISS member agencies have agreed to comply with the requirements of 28 CFR Part 23 with respect to any criminal information they submit into applicable RISS Criminal Intelligence Databases (RISSIntel). RISS strongly encourages its member agencies and all law enforcement agencies to voluntarily adopt appropriate and clearly defined privacy and security safeguards to manage and control collection, retention, and dissemination activities.
