Most law enforcement agencies in America have access to one of the most powerful investigative tools ever built — and more than half never use it.

 

N-DEx. The FBI's National Data Exchange. Over a billion records. Incident narratives. Arrest data. Booking information. Cross-jurisdictional connections that no other system can make.

 

I'm sitting down live with Timothy Ferguson from the FBI's CJIS Division to talk about what the system can actually do — and why so many agencies are leaving that capability on the table.

 

This is a live stream. You can ask questions in real time.

 

If you're working cases and not using N-DEx, this conversation is for you.
