The law enforcement justice information system (lejis) is an innovative police data sharing system that works in conjunction with the Pennsylvania justice network. Lejis improves patrol officer safety by providing near- real-time incident data to police in the field through their own agency's rms. It also enables investigators and supervisors to coordinate their investigations with other agencies and has led to many successful cross- jurisdictional investigations. Lejis users can quickly identify whether other law enforcement agencies have had prior contact with an individual, a piece of property or a vehicle, and provides follow-up contact information. With information more readily available, police officers and sheriffs are better equipped to increase their own safety, while detectives and District Attorneys can conduct more efficient investigations.
