“Security integration means protecting our people and communities through seamless coordination and consistent information-sharing. It means that the criminal justice system must work as a system, not a collection of parallel lines -- and parallel cultures and parallel datasets and parallel intelligence systems - - that never meet.” Governor Martin O’Malley
The most valuable resource a state government owns is its data. U.S. Marshal State Police Local Prosecutors Local Police and Sheriffs Parole & Probation D.C. Police Patrol, crime analysts, detectives… ATF Federal Prosecutors FBI
