The United States Coast Guard Investigative Service (CGIS), an agency of the U.S. Coast Guard and the Department of Homeland Security, is working on a central repository for sharing and storing law enforcement investigative information.

Intergraph, the vendor selected to provide a law enforcement records management system to store and share investigative information, says the government agency will be implementing its inPursuit WebRMS, a Web-based records management system. Along with collecting and organizing Coast Guard data, WebRMS will also have the ability to query other government organization’s criminal information databases.

Full implementation of the new system is expected to be completed by July 2014.
