Over the past few months, the WIJIS Gateway has continued to expand by adding new data sources. Since the beginning of the year the following local law enforcement agencies have started submitting data to the WIJIS Gateway: Fitchburg PD, Sun Prairie PD, Middleton PD, Hudson PD, North Hudson PD, River Falls PD, Roberts PD, Woodville PD, Baldwin PD, and St. Croix County Sheriff's Department. The addition of these agencies means there are currently 89 local law enforcement agencies submitting data to the WIJIS Gateway. Additionally, there are a number of other local law enforcement agencies currently working with WIJIS staff to begin submitting data to the Gateway. We fully anticipate the number of agencies submitting data to the Gateway to continue to grow throughout 2009.
Secondly, Milwaukee County District Attorney's office recently started contributing data to the DA PROTECT system. Data from the DA PROTECT system has been available on the WIJIS Gateway since the summer of 2008.
Finally, the WIJIS Gateway struck another milestone earlier this week. At this time over 150 local law enforcement agencies are signed up to search the Gateway for valuable criminal justice data. As a result, over 50% of the population of the State of Wisconsin lives in a jurisdiction that is either submitting data or search for data on the WIJIS Gateway.
