WHEREAS, the National Data Exchange is a repository of criminal justice records, available in a secure online environment, and managed by the FBI Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division; and

WHEREAS, N-DEx is now fully functional and is recognized as an ideal system for sharing information across disparate jurisdictional, geographic, and regional areas; and

WHEREAS, regional sharing systems are very good and states are heavily invested in them and the membership of the IACP State and Provincial Division support regional sharing systems and N-DEx; and

WHEREAS, they believe that a national data sharing system is essential and support N-DEx as that system, however the Federal government should fund the integration and connection of the regional systems to N-DEx; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, that the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), duly assembled at its 119th Annual Conference in San Diego, California, affirm their support of the National Data Exchange as the nationally scaled system of information sharing.
