Subject:Appropriation Adjustment - ARIES/COPS Congressional Mandate
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
anti-terrorism task forces from 25 Contra Costa County law enforcement agencies, 23 agencies in Alameda County,
plus 16 more agencies in the contiguous counties of Solano and San Joaquin County. When complete, ARIES will be
able to upload its regional data to the FBI's N-DEx system to be exchanged with Los Angeles and San Diego regions.
In addition, ARIES users will be able to access FBI, ATF, DEA, Bureau of Prisons, and Federal Marshals' data from
ONEDOJ's R-DEx program.
This technology will enable investigators with a single sign-on to query local, regional, state and federal data to truly
"connect the dots" in their efforts to prevent crime, solve crimes, and protect the citizens in a large portion of
Northern California with a population of over 11 million people.
