National Identity Crimes Law Enforcement Network

The '''National Identity Crimes Law Enforcement (NICLE)	Network, formerly known as the Regional Identity Theft Network (RITNET), became operational in July 2008. The project originated with the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in coordination with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Middle Atlantic-Great Lakes Organized Crime Law Enforcement Network (MAGLOCLEN). The NICLE Network allows authorized law enforcement at the federal, state, and local levels to enter and retrieve identity crimes data through the Regional Information Sharing Systems Network, a centralized data sharing system. NICLE is designed to include data from the FTC, law enforcement agencies, and the banking and retail industries.
