Episode notes
Fragmented, Outdated Law Enforcement Data
- U.S. law enforcement data is fragmented, often paper-based, and lags modern cloud practices.
- This fragmentation prevents real-time, cross-jurisdictional investigations and slows casework.
Jurisdictional Gaps Help Criminals
- Criminals exploit jurisdictional boundaries because agencies rarely share data seamlessly.
- Opt-in federal systems leave gaps so someone can have records in one city but be unknown nearby.
Daily CSVs Cause Real-World Errors
- Garrett describes NCIC as a near-CSV file updated once a day with questionable data integrity.
- He recounts a stolen rental car that remained listed because the rental company didn't update the record.
