The Regional Information Sharing System (RISS) Program offers a variety of services and support to law enforcement agencies to include automated, centralized law enforcement databases with nationwide connectivity using internet technologies, intelligence analysis, bulletins and publications, surveillance equipment loans, confidential funds, long-distance call patching, and law enforcement and officer safety training.
The Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General is the fiduciary agency for the Mid-Atlantic Great Lakes Organized Crime Law Enforcement Network (MAGLOCLEN). Created in 1981, MAGLOCLEN is one of six RISS centers. The Middle Atlantic-Great Lakes region consists of Delaware, District of Columbia, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and the Canadian Provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Within this region, 1,728 law enforcement and criminal justice agencies are members of MAGLOCLEN and benefit from a variety of services and resources provided by the center. MAGLOCLEN's goal is to enhance the capabilities of local, state, federal and tribal law enforcement and criminal justice agencies through MAGLOCLEN support services and resources that facilitate communication, cooperation and coordination necessary to identify, target, and remove criminal conspiracies and activities spanning multijurisdictional, multistate and, sometimes, international boundaries.
