I2: The Dallas County Exchange: Leveraging FBI’s N-DEx Data Standards at a Local, County Level

2:45 pm – 3:45 pm Hanover C

The Dallas County Data Exchange (DC-DEx) is an initiative intended to improve the workflow and efficiency of law enforcement agencies within the Dallas County, Texas area. Dallas County decided to pursue a strategy that leverages the work done by the FBI and US DOJ in the National Data Exchange (N-DEx) program. This presentation provides some insight into DC-DEx and how the work done by the FBI’s data standards group can be leveraged by local initiatives, even outside of the N-DEx system.

From Patriot:

In February, PDSG successfully launched several new product offerings, including the Crossflo DataExchange(R) (CDX) Connect for N-DEx. This product is believed to be the first and only commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) solution available to enable data sharing between the FBI's N-DEx database and other agencies, allowing the sharing of information across jurisdictional boundaries and providing new investigative tools that enhance the nation's ability to fight crime and terrorism. Built on the CDX platform, CDX Connect for N-DEx has been successfully deployed, linking the New Jersey State Police Data Exchange (NJ-DEx) with the FBI's N-DEx.

Also launched in February, the CDX 4 Enterprise suite makes significant strides towards automating data sharing, accelerating standards-based initiatives, reducing related costs and preserving legacy investments. Included for the first time with the CDX 4 Enterprise suite are the CDX ExchangeBuilder, which facilitates the design of data exchanges with unprecedented efficiency, and the CDX Portal, which provides agencies with a single point of access to all data sources aggregated by CDX. With over 18,000 separate federal, state, and local law enforcement communities in the U.S., PDSG is positioned to be a significant provider of the critical infrastructure needed to increase interagency communication and coordination.
