Mike and Fred,

If I understand the question correctly, the answer is that the systems
are connected. We have regional networks in which information sharing is
limited to that network. If a network has 25 sites, those 25 sites match
against each other's reports. They can also send reports to any other
site on the network and they can post reports to a network-wide bulletin
board. Sites cannot share information across networks.



However, we do cross-network matching here at the office. If we see
cross-network matches, we will contact each affected site, explain that
the individual(s) or vehicle they reported has been seen on another
network, and then offer to put the affected sites into direct contact. We
have not yet had a cross-network match. I think over time the different
networks will begin to unite. I'm not exactly being prescient here, as
there is already talk in Vegas and LA of combining their two networks.
Same here in DC. Let me know if this helps or if you need further
clarification.



Thanks, Dan

Both: Some clients are already linked, and others can be if they choose.

With TrapWire all our clients feed a centralized database, so they are in
affect linked.

Several of our clients have also agreed to share the entirety of their SAR
reporting with certain other clients where it makes sense (i.e. all the
casinos in Vegas share with each other; private and public sector clients
in LA share with one another; etc.)



Dan: Can you give some more examples of data sharing between clients?

Reasonable to say the systems are linked or can be linked? Which is more
accurate? Thanks
