A Comprehensive Assessment of Gangs in North Carolina: A Report to the General Assembly
The Benefits of a Statewide System
Officer safety is the most important benefit of the statewide system.
Officers will have immediate access to a database that can provide life
saving information at the time of the initial encounter with a suspected
gang member. Officers will have information as to previous gang activity
and the migration patterns of the suspect. Durham has reported several
instances where victims or witnesses have provided only one piece of
information, such as a tattoo, and the suspects were immediately
identified when the information search was conducted. A homicide victim
was identified using the system, decreasing notification time to the family
as well as saving valuable investigation time.
Regional Information Sharing System or RISS Gang
The Regional Informational Sharing System ( RISS) is a national program
designed to help local, state, federal, and tribal criminal justice agencies
identify, target, and eliminate criminal activities by sharing information
among those agencies that pursue criminal conspiracies determined to
be interjurisdictional in nature. RISS Gang is a service that historically
has been provided to RISS member law enforcement agencies that enter
gang member information into a national database. This system is lightly
used by law enforcement agencies in North Carolina. The benefit of this
system is that it frees local law enforcement agencies from entering data
as with NC GangNet. RISS Gang asks that member agencies simply
provide a paper copy of an incident report or other information gathered,
and they will enter the data. As;
Our nation’s law enforcement agencies have seen a recent
resurgence in gang- related crimes. RISS has utilized the
RISS National Gang Database ( RISSGang), a specialized
database used to collect and disseminate information on
criminal gangs and gang members, for many years. This
database provides law enforcement agencies with easy
