RISS recognized the importance of ensuring the safety of law enforcement officers and, in an effort to further enhance officer safety, developed the RISS Officer Safety Event Deconfliction System (RISSafe™). Thousands of agencies and officers use RISSafe every day. Since its inception, more than 3 million operations have been entered into RISSafe, resulting in more than 595,000 identified conflicts.  Without the identification of these conflicts, officers may have interfered with another agency’s or officer’s investigation, links between cases may have been lost, or officers or citizens may have been unintentionally hurt or killed.  RISSafe is accessible and monitored on a 24/7/365 basis and available at no cost to all law enforcement agencies, regardless of RISS membership.

 The RISSafe Watch Center staff are responsible for assisting officers, entering and monitoring events, responding to conflicts, and notifying affected parties. Currently, 29 RISSafe Watch Centers are operational, 23 of which are operated by organizations other than RISS.

RISS deployed the RISSafe Mobile application.  Officers can access RISSafe from their mobile devices, enter events, and receive immediate notification of conflicts.  This capability includes the infrastructure to support additional mobile applications, and RISS plans to provide other RISS resources via mobile devices in the future.

The three nationally recognized event deconfliction systems—Case Explorer, SAFETNet, and RISSafe— were integrated.  The partners worked in collaboration to accomplish this goal with the help of many vested partners, including the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA); Partner Engagement, Information Sharing Environment (PM-ISE); the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA); the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA); and many others.  Visit https://www.ncirc.gov/Deconfliction/ to learn more about the various resources available.

Officers may contribute officer safety-related information to the RISS Officer Safety & Wellness Website.
