Michigan Intelligence Operations Center Taps Memex for Platform Serving More
Than 21,000 Police Officers Across Great Lakes State
VIENNA, Va.--(Business Wire)--
Memex, Inc., the leading worldwide provider of intelligence management, data
integration, search and analysis solutions, announced today its selection by the
State of Michigan to deploy the state`s primary criminal intelligence platform,
which will provide access to more than 600 law enforcement agencies, more than
21,000 certified police officers as well as numerous state and federal
departments. 

That platform, known as the Michigan Criminal Intelligence System (MCIS), is run
by the Michigan State Police and will be used in the Michigan Intelligence
Operations Center for Homeland Security (MIOC), the state`s fusion center. 

HP Enterprise Services, a leading global technology services provider, is
serving as sub-contractor, working with Memex on this implementation. 

The MIOC will use the Memex intelligence system to gather, collate, track,
analyze and disseminate terrorism intelligence information. Additionally, the
system will be used to counter-act conventional criminal activity, including
street gangs, organized crime and high-volume crimes. Just as important is the
Memex products capability to assist the Michigan State Police in compliance with
State and Federal laws pertaining to the protection of citizens` privacy rights.


"The State of Michigan deployment will be the largest in the U.S. and second
biggest in the world for Memex," said Neil Schlisserman, Vice President of Memex
Americas. "Law enforcement in Michigan will benefit greatly from a common
intelligence platform for information sharing as well as Memex`s engaging
approach to commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software deployment and customer
service." 

Memex has extensive experience working with fusion centers at the state,
regional and city levels as well as with major statewide and large municipal law
enforcement agencies. The MIOC is the 12th fusion center to select Memex as its
foundation for intelligence and the sixth statewide deployment. 

The Memex intelligence solution will provide Web services with interfaces to
RISS (Regional Information Sharing Systems), NDPIX (National Drug Pointer Index)
and other systems, additional important considerations for the State of
Michigan. Besides criminal intelligence data, Memex also is laying the
foundation for the sharing of CAD (Computer-Aided Dispatch) and RMS (Records
Management System) data in the MCIS. 

The Memex intelligence system is used for deconfliction and threat assessment,
and provides the foundation for an Intelligence-led Policing (ILP) approach.
Besides CAD and RMS, Memex also integrates data from disparate sources, such as
case and gangs management, Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR), and confidential
informant management.
