  1. NCJA National Forum 2003 “Partnerships with Purpose – Visions for Public Safety’s Future” St. Pete’s Beach, FL July 21, 2003 “Regional Information Sharing – What’s Working? Is It Helping?” Angelo J. Fiumara, Jr., Deputy Director Regional Information Sharing Systems Office of Information Technology

  2. Regional Information Sharing Systems (RISS) Mission To enhance the ability of local, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement and criminal justice agencies to identify, target, and remove criminal conspirators, and to support investigation and prosecution efforts which span multi-jurisdictional boundaries involving narcotics trafficking, organized crime, criminal gangs, terrorism, and violent crime.

  11. Analytical Services Provided • Case / Investigative analysis • Link analysis • Telephone toll analysis • Financial analysis • Association analysis • Event / Activity flow analysis • Commodity flow analysis • Timeline analysis • Pattern / Behaviors analysis • Organizational hierarchy charts • Trial exhibits

  12. Information Sharing / Participation Initiatives

  13. Information Sharing / Participation Initiatives • Sensitive but unclassified (SBU) information sharing network • RISS / FBI Law Enforcement Online (LEO) • Executive Office For the United StatesAttorneys (EOUSA) • 93 United States Attorneys • 94 United States Attorneys Offices (USAOs) • 250 locations • 1000 initial riss.net access officers • U.S. DOJ; Criminal Division • 50 riss.net access officers • Washington, D.C.; Rapid City, SD; Bogotá, Columbia

  14. FBI LEO (leo.gov) RISS (riss.net) & Interconnectivity

  15. RISS / LEO Interface Initiative Accomplishments To Date………. • Simultaneous “Single sign-on” to both the riss.net system and leo.gov system • users holding valid accounts for both the riss.net system and leo.gov system simultaneously authenticate to both systems • Users no longer required to “log off” one system in order to “log on” to the other system • Transmission of secure, encrypted e-mail messages • E-mail transmitted between users having a riss.net e-mail address and users having a leo.gov e-mail address is encrypted • Access to the unique variety of resources and services available from RISS and the unique variety of resources and services available from LEO to a larger, more diversified user community, thereby facilitating and enhancing information sharing efforts

  16. Authentication and Access to both riss.net and leo.gov Systems Open a browser session and navigate to a RISS resource

  17. Authentication and Access to both riss.net and leo.gov Systems Open a browser session and navigate to a LEO resource

  18. Authentication and Access to both riss.net and leo.gov Systems

  19. Authentication and Access to both riss.net and leo.gov Systems Navigate through RISS resources and LEO resources without having to “log off” one system and “log on” to the other

  20. Secure E-Mail EXPLANATION Secure, encrypted e-mail can be transmitted between any of the listed e-mail domains. All the e-mail domains, with the exception of @leo.gov, are resident on riss.net. The frame relay connection between riss.net and leo.gov provides the pathway for e-mail traffic between any of the riss.net e-mail domains and the leo.gov e-mail domain. • @magloclen.riss.net • @mocic.riss.net • @nespin.riss.net • @rocic.riss.net • @rmin.riss.net • @wsin.riss.net • @risstech.riss.net • @atix.riss.net • @adg.riss.net • @epicmail.riss.net • @hidta.net • @cbidoj.org • @leiu.org • @leo.gov
