The Office of Justice Assistance announced today that the Wisconsin Justice Information Sharing (WIJIS) Justice Gateway is operational and sharing over 1.25 million files between 250 users. The Justice Gateway is a powerful online tool that expands how local police investigators and district attorneys share investigative data. The WIJIS Justice Gateway uses the most secure technologies available, allowing the Wisconsin justice community the ability to exchange critical information and track potential criminal and terrorist activity across the state.

"Crime does not stop at a county or city border, and with the WIJIS Gateway neither will our investigations," said OJA Executive Director David Steingraber. "With access to more detailed investigative information, police and prosecutors will have the tools they need to help reduce crime, prevent terrorism and keep our communities safe."
