Regional Information Sharing Systems ® (RISS) supports multi-agency coordination and cooperation among local, state, and federal criminal justice agencies. The six operational centers span the 50 states and Puerto Rico and provide their member agencies with a broad range of criminal intelligence and investigative support services.

The RISS Program is funded annually through the U.S. Dept. of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), Office of Justice Programs (OJP). The overall goal of the RISS Program is to enhance the ability of state and local criminal justice agencies to identify, target, and remove criminal conspiracies and activities spanning jurisdictional boundaries.

The six RISS centers are:

• MAGLOCLEN-Middle Atlantic-Great Lakes Organized Crime Law Enforcement Network ®, Newtown, PA
• MOCIC-Mid-States Organized Crime Information Center ®, Springfield, MO
• NESPIN-New England State Police Information Network ®, Franklin, MA
• ROCIC-Regional Organized Crime Information Center ®, Nashville, TN
• RMIN-Rocky Mountain Information Network ®, Phoenix, AZ
• WSIN-Western States Information Network ®, Sacramento, CA

The RISS Program serves more than 7,000 criminal justice agencies across the U.S., and membership is growing at a steady rate. Three-fourths of all RISS member agencies are local, either county or municipal.
