Criminal Information Sharing

OVERVIEW

All ACISS systems include the ACISS Fusion Server, which provides a standards based SOAP XML Web Service that enables securely controlled programmatic access to all of the data stored in the ACISS database. Using the Fusion Server Software Development Kit (SDK), agency technical personnel or third party vendors can easily develop integration points, which query data from and submit data to an ACISS system. One example of an integration project developed by a third party is a real-time call data import process from a wiretap system, developed by the wiretap hardware vendor. Another integration solution, developed by Sheriff's Office technical personnel, is a real-time interface to a third-party CAD system, which pre-populates dispatch information in ACISS upon call closure to eliminate duplicate data entry in the incident reporting process.

The ACISS Fusion Client provides a plug-in framework for accessing data from remote systems. Included with the Fusion Client is the ACISS to ACISS plug-in, along with several additional interfaces to popular regional data sharing initiatives. The ACISS-to-ACISS plug-in provides seamless integration between two or more ACISS systems out of the box allowing users to query data like subjects, addresses, or vehicles from and electronically route Tips and Reports to remote ACISS systems.
