FBI: National Data Exchange (N-DEx)
The FBI National Data Exchange (N-DEx) is a law enforcement information data sharing platform that makes submitted information available to credentialed users at the federal, state, county and local level. The following is a list of TraCS forms along with information as to whether the specific form is one that had been identified for being exported from TraCS to N-DEx. Each TraCS agency that wishes to contribute to N-DEx must sign an agreement to do so before their TraCS is configured for the export. To reduce complexity, export rules for all TraCS forms will be uniform for all agencies.
Below is an ordered ranking of TraCS forms to be exported to N-DEx, along with form totals and additional details for how they have been ordered. Part of the logic for sharing these forms from TraCS, as opposed to from a repository of the given form (Crash, DNR, DNR crash etc.) is that the individual agency will retain responsibility for the data quality, as well as any data corrections that are required. Agencies that opt-in will also be aware that they are sharing with N-DEx and not be surprised by outside agency requests for official copies of their shared forms (N-DEx requires agencies to request official copies if any action is being taken pursuant to the information found in N-DEx).
TraCS is currently in the Data Analysis phase of the project. Sometime in 2024 other TraCS agencies will be provided with the option of exporting forms to the FBI’s N-DEx.
