Local, state and federal law enforcement officials are meeting on the USS North Carolina to launch a new information sharing program.
The North Carolina Law Enforcement Information Exchange, or LInX, will be announced today. The program allows investigators to search crime and incident records in other jurisdictions and law enforcement agencies.
The system is managed by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, which offers the system to locations where the Navy and Marine Corps are based. LInX programs are already in place in eight other states and the District of Columbia.
The program comes after the 9-11 Commission Report concluded a major failure leading up to the terrorist attacks was the lack of information sharing among law enforcement agencies.
