Northeast Gang Information System (NEGIS): Participant Survey. Police Executive Research Forum

摘要

NEGIS is meant to act as a demonstration for a planned National Gang Information Network that will enable local, state, and federal law enforcement personnel across the country to share and exchange gang-related intelligence. The distributed, shared-system design solves two primary problems. First, by pooling information, the system provides a knowledge management solution for general gang information. The second, and more important, benefit of the system will be to enable investigators to quickly find personnel in other organizations with specialized knowledge or skills to aid them in a specific investigation. Once those connections are made, the system will provide additional benefits by replacing the traditional methods of information sharing (phone, fax, mail, and hand-delivery) with more efficient electronic delivery.
