 annual conference in Miami today, Enforsys Systems Inc. (booth 1569), a leader in public safety software, announced the launch of Enforsys I-3 Exchange, the most powerful information sharing See data conferencing.  system available today for law enforcement and other public safety agencies. I-3 Exchange integrates information from different systems across multiple jurisdictions, effectively transforming seemingly irrelevant and dead data into actionable intelligence Having the necessary information immediately available in order to deal with the situation at hand. With regard to call centers, it refers to agents having customer history and related product data available on screen before the call is taken. .

Enforsys I-3 Exchange, created in 2004, has been deployed in a beta version A pre-shipping release of hardware or software that has gone through alpha test. A beta version of software is supposed to be very close to the final product, but, in practice, it is more a way of getting users to test the software in the first place under real conditions.  over the past year and the final version will be going live in two U.S. counties in the fourth quarter of 2005 where the software will be used to connect as many as 40 different agencies including local police departments, state police, university police, the prosecutor's office, sheriff's departments and county park police.

Information Rich and Flexible

Unlike legacy systems that limit what information can be included, Enforsys I-3 Exchange allows 100 percent of available information to be captured and accessed in real time, giving law enforcement personnel the comprehensive knowledge critical to accurate decision making and effective job performance.

In addition, I-3 Exchange addresses one of the most critical challenges with information sharing: connecting the myriad of incompatible systems in various agencies on the federal, state, county or local levels. I-3 Exchange can interpret data from a variety of sources and consolidate it onto one platform to provide unprecedented flexibility in information sharing, enabling collaboration across multiple agencies, regardless of the specific systems used.

"Enabling law enforcement agencies A law enforcement agency (LEA) is a term used to describe any agency which enforces the law. This may be a local or state police, federal agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) or the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).  to share data is critical to crime prevention and detection," says Vincent Tortoriello, president and co-founder of Enforsys. "A field interview or incident reports from neighboring municipalities sitting on their separate databases means nothing. But brought together they can establish a pattern of behavior about a potential criminal or terrorist. This is how information sharing can detect and prevent crime,"

Designed for Law Enforcement

Rather than being adapted from a standard database, I-3 Exchange was designed by cops for cops, so it outperforms the competition in serving the unique information needs of law enforcement officers. System features designed with officers in mind include:

--Watch Lists - an alert system that monitors incident type, name or address in real time.

--Powerful Browse Capabilities - the system is capable of reading data from a variety of sources and across multiple-jurisdictions, and making it searchable.

--Data Analysis and Mapping Tools - intelligence software analyzes data and helps officers to "connect the dots" to identify crime patterns, profiles and trends.

--Full Data Capture - data from investigative reports, narratives, suspicious activity reports A Suspicious Activity Report (or SAR) is a report regarding suspicious or potentially suspicious activity, filed with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), an agency of the United States Department of the Treasury. , jail records and field interview cards are all included and available in real-time.

These and other capabilities help officers in the investigation and prevention of crime, and enhance officer safety. At the command level, I-3 Exchange also has the analytical ability to identify trends, patterns and events by region and/or individual or even item--such as a gun or stolen goods--so that law enforcement activities can be coordinated across jurisdictions.

"Cost-effective, secure, highly scalable and offering users complete control, I-3 Exchange is a mission critical crime prevention and officer safety tool at all levels, from the officer on the street to the command center," added Tortoriello.
