Since 2007, authorized federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement officers and analysts have been able to access resources on Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU)/Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) systems beyond their “home” systems without having to logon to each system separately.

Many state law enforcement agencies do not offer a single sign-on, or Simplified Sign-On, for the many different law enforcement systems and databases their employees need. This makes using them cumbersome and often doubles, triples, or even quadruples investigators’ work. Fixing this, with what is often referred to as a federated identity model, can require costly IT investment and difficult legal and policy hurdles.

RISSafe and the RISS Officer Safety Website

According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, more than 19,000 U.S. law enforcement officers have lost their lives in the line of duty. It is estimated that on average, one officer is killed every 53 hours.

RISS recognizes the importance of ensuring the safety of all law enforcement officers, which is why we developed the RISS Officer Safety Event Deconfliction System (RISSafe) and the RISS Officer Safety Website.
