Heres What Were Going To Do

• First, Ill tell you what Im going to show you.
• Second, Ill show you what I told you Id show
  you.
• Then, Im going to tease you into wanting to
  know more.
• However, Im not going to give you more, but Ill
  show you how to find it.
• The rest is up to you.

N-DEx Vision
To share complete, accurate, timely, and useful
criminal justice information across
jurisdictional boundaries and to provide new
investigative tools that enhance the Nations
ability to fight crime and terrorism.
9
N-DEx AND THE National Information Sharing
Strategy

• National information sharing
• Links regional and state systems
• Virtual regional information sharing

10
N-DEx Concept
11
N-DEx Services

• Services relate and organize data into useful
  information for searching and querying in support
  of investigations and analyses
• Entity Resolution
• Entity Correlation
• Incident/Case Correlation Service
• Automated Processing Service

12
N-DEx Capabilities

• Capabilities that users can employ to benefit
  from the vast amounts of information available to
  the system
• Search
• Subscription
• Visualization
• Analytical/Reporting
• Collaboration
• Notification

13
N-DEx Data Integration

• N-DEx provides view of full record
• No need to pull from the source
• Example - incident reports from RMSs

• N-DEx is an index/pointer
• N-DEx can request a pull from source
• Example R-DEx

• N-DEx not aware of their information
• Legacy transactional system that must be
  queried
• Example - NCIC and III (via NCIC)

14
N-DEx Functional Integration

• End-User Browser
• LEA users will be provided the ability to access
  N-DEx directly through a web browser
• Web Services
• All N-DEx user level capabilities will be
  available to external LEA systems through web
  service interfaces
• Example - RMS or regional system may wish to
  integrate N-DEx capabilities into the local
  system's user interface

15
Network Connectivity

• CJIS will provide N-DEx services on the CJIS Wide
  Area Network (WAN)
• Connectivity will be through any means authorized
  per CJIS Advisory Policy Board (APB)
  policies/guidelines and state policies
• Methods of connectivity to the CJIS WAN from
  secondary locations (e.g., NLETS, state network,
  etc.)
• LEAs will also be able to connect to N-DEx via
  secure Internet connections using the Law
  Enforcement Online (LEO) system

16
N-DEx Data Sensitivity Levels
The entering agency categorizes data submitted to
the System into levels of sensitivity upon which
the dissemination of the information/data is
controlled. APB Approved Sensitivity Levels

• LEVEL 1 - SHARED
• N-DEx shall provide the capability for data
  contributors to allow sharing data it submits to
  N-DEx
• LEVEL 2 CONDITIONALLY SHARED
• N-DEx shall provide the capability for data
  contributors to specify pointer based sharing
  of data. (i.e. provide POC information only)
• LEVEL 3 NOT SHARED
• N-DEx shall provide the capability for data
  contributors to restrict data its submits to
  N-DEx. This level is reserved
  for the most restricted investigations and
  investigative information.

• This capability will allow agencies to submit
  information for sharing but control the
  dissemination of sensitive information to protect
  investigative equities.
• Sensitivity applied to specific data elements if
  needed

17
N-DEx Governance
GUIDING PRINCIPLE N-DEx governance and policies
must be developed and managed cooperatively with
the law enforcement community they cannot be
mandated by the federal government.
N-DEx will be an information system administered
by the FBIs CJIS Division who will employ a
Shared Management Philosophy for development and
operation of through collaboration with

Raytheons Role in the Project

• Awarded the contract, February 2007 by FBI-CJIS
  to develop and implement N-DEx system
• Technological design and requirements were guided
  by the Concept of Operations (CONOPS). CONOPS
  was developed by FBI-CJIS in collaboration with
  LEA subject matter experts, national law
  enforcement associations, and the CJIS Advisory
  Policy Board
• Long term goals for the N-DEx project
• Provide a powerful new investigative tool to
  search, link, analyze data for disparate local,
  state, tribal, and federal systems for the
  exchange of information
• Provide a one-stop-shop capability
