Regional Information Sharing Systems

The Regional Information Sharing Systems (RISS) Program is an established system of six regional centers that are used to “share intelligence and coordinate efforts against criminal networks that operate in many locations across jurisdictional lines.” The RISS Program is used to combat traditional law enforcement targets, such as drug trafficking and violent crime, as well as other activities, such as terrorism and cybercrime. According to its website, RISS has been in operation for nearly 25 years, and has “member agencies in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories, Australia, Canada, and England.”
