Pilot Projects Provide Tribal Access to National Data Exchange

The Bureau of Justice Assistance, through SEARCH, is supporting two pilot projects that provide some tribal law enforcement agencies with access to arrest/incident data submitted by all participating agencies to the National Data Exchange (N-DEx). The Tribal Law Enforcement Consortium of Arizona pilot reaches the Fort McDowell Yavapai-Apache Nation, Ak-Chin Indian Community, Tohono O'odham Nation, Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community and Gila River Indian Community. The White Earth Nation’s Police Department pilot includes law enforcement agencies from Minnesota’s Becker, Mahnomen and Clearwater counties.
