Attorney General Kamala D. Harris announced this week that the California Department of Justice is developing a new data sharing platform for federal, state, regional and local agencies to access, analyze, and share criminal justice information.
Harris made the announcement on Monday at the California State Sheriff Association’s Annual Conference, according to a letter signed by Larry Wallace, director of DOJ’s Division of Law Enforcement.
The software platform will make criminal justice information available free of charge to these agencies. The project will begin immediately and is expected to be complete in June 2014.
On April 22, DOJ awarded a $1.2 million-dollar project to Palantir Technologies, partnered with Enterprise Networking Solutions, Inc. to develop a statewide data-sharing platform to law enforcement and public safety agencies, according to state purchasing records.
