Every day, officers, prosecutors, and public safety officials across our nation use RISS to help detect, deter, prevent, and respond to crime problems; to keep themselves and the public safe; and to prosecute and convict offenders. Without RISS’s services, narcotics, stolen property, and other contraband, as well as violent offenders, gang members, and other criminals, might still be on our streets. RISS is a vital program that law enforcement and the public safety at all levels cannot do without and an excellent return on investment for our nation.
