MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
AMONG THE NAVAL CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIVE SERVICE
AND PARTICIPATING FEDERAL, STATE, COUNTY AND MUNICIPAL AGENCIES
FOR AN INFORMATION SHARING INITIATIVE KNOWN AS
THE LAW ENFORCEMENT INFORMATION EXCHANGE NORTHWEST (LInX NW)
A. PURPOSE.
1. This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is entered into by the Naval
Criminal Investigative Service and the Federal, State, and local law
enforcement agencies and the Federal Bureau of Investigation participating in
an information sharing initiative for operation of a regional warehouse of
databases, known as the Law Enforcement Information Exchange Northwest (LInX
NW) . The purpose of this MOU is to set forth the policy and procedures for
the use of the LInX by the participating parties, including the ownership and
control of the information within the system, which may be contributed by
each party for use by the LInX and the participating agencies.
2. The driving impetus for this initiative and MOU is to further the wars
against crime and terrorism in the wake of the September 11th terrorist
attacks against the United States. This includes: identifying and locating
criminals, terrorists and their supporters; identifying, assessing, and
responding to crime and terrorist risks and threats; and otherwise
preventing, detecting, and prosecuting criminal and terrorist activities. To
achieve these ends, it is essential that all Federal, State, and local law
enforcement agencies cooperate in efforts to share pertinent information. The
LInX will integrate relevant records of the parties within a single warehouse
of databases, effectively providing each participating agency with a single
source for regional law enforcement information. (For security purposes, LInX
access to this info
rmation will be via a separate, sensitive but unclassified
server located in the Seattle FBI field office. )
3 . The LInX will be available for use by participating law enforcement
agencies in furtherance of authorized law enforcement activities as well as
the prevention and detection of terrorist risks and threats. Utilizing the
LInX capabilities will significantly advance public safety and security, and
will enhance the protection of this Nation's critical Naval and military
resources in the Puget Sound area of the State of Washington.
B. PARTIES.
1. The parties to this MOU are: the Naval Criminal Investigative Service;
Bainbridge Police Department; Bremerton Police Department; Everett Police
Department; Kitsap County Sheriff's Office; Port of Seattle Police
Department; Port Orchard Police Department; Poulsbo Police Department;
Seattle Police Department; Snohomish County Sheriff's Office; Tukwila Police
Department; Washington Jail and Booking Records System, Washington
Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs; the Washington State Patrol; and
the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other law enforcement agencies
approved for membership.
2 . The above parties agree that the Puget Sound Joint Terrorism Task Force
(JTTF) and the Joint Analytical Center will be permitted access to the Puget
Sound LInX upon their proper written request.
Puget Sound LInX MOU 1 / 02/03/05
3 . The Washington Jail and Booking Records System, Washington Association of
Sheriffs and Police Chiefs, will be a contributing agency only with no
querying capability.
4. The parties agree that maximum participation by all eligible law
enforcement agencies will strengthen the purposes of this MOU. Accordingly,
the parties anticipate and desire that other eligible agencies will join this
MOU in the future. An eligible agency must apply for and be approved by the
Governance Board to become a joining agency. The Governance Board shall
establish criteria for eligibility to join such as but not limited to
security compliance, data accountability, technical capability, and
operational history. A joining agency once approved by the Governance Board
shall also be considered a party and shall have the same rights, privileges,
obligations, and responsibilities as the original parties.
C. POINTS OF CONTACT. Each party shall designate an individual as the party's
point of contact (POC) for representing that party in regard to the MOU. A
party may change its POC at any time upon providing written notification
thereof to the Governance Board.
D. AUTHORITY.
1. Authority for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service to enter into
this MOU includes Department of Defense (DoD) Instruction 5505.3 dated July
11, 1986 and SECNAVINST 5520.3B dated January 4, 1993.
2 . Authority for Washington State, county, and local agencies to enter
into this MOU includes Revised Code of Washington Chapter 39.34.
3 . Authority for the FBI to enter into this MOU includes: 28 U.S.C.
533, 534; 28 C.F.R. 0.85; and Presidential Decision Directives 39 and 62.
E. MISSION/OBJECTIVES. This initiative seeks to capture the cumulative
knowledge of regional law enforcement agencies in a systematic and ongoing
manner to maximize the benefits of information gathering and analysis to
prevent and respond to terrorist and criminal threats; to support preventive,
investigative and enforcement activities; and to enhance public safety and
force protection for the Nation's critical infrastructure in the Puget Sound
area. The specific objectives of the LInX are to:
1. Integrate specific categories of law enforcement, criminal justice
and investigative data from participating agencies in near real time within
one data warehouse that will be accessible by all participating agencies.
2 . Dramatically reduce the time spent by participating agency personnel
in search and retrieval of relevant data by providing query and analytical
tools.
3 . Provide the means for the participating agencies to develop
analytical products to support law enforcement, force protection, and
counterterrorism operational and investigative activities.
4. Provide an enhanced means for the participating agencies to produce
strategic analytical products to assist administrative decision-making
processes for area law enforcement executives.
Puget Sound L1nX MOU 2 02/03/05
F. CONCEPT.
1. The LInX is a cooperative partnership of Federal, State, county, and
local law enforcement agencies, in which each agency is participating under
its own individual legal status, jurisdiction, and authorities, and all LInX
operations will be based upon the legal status, jurisdiction, and authorities
of the individual participants. The LInX is not intended to, and shall not,
be deemed to have independent legal status.
2. The LInX will become a central, electronic repository of derivative
Federal, State, county, and local law enforcement and investigative data,
with each party providing for use copies of information from its own records
which may be pertinent to LInX's mission. Once the database warehouse is
populated and properly structured, the system will function with querying and
analytical tools in support of law enforcement activities, criminal
investigations, force protection, and counter terrorism, and for the
development of reports by the participating agencies for the use of their
executive decision makers.
3 . LInX functionality may be enhanced via acquisition and use of
commercially available references, public source information, and software
applications such as commercial directories, census data, mapping
applications, and analytical applications.
4. The LInX database warehouse collection will be resident on a server
located at Seattle Division, Federal Bureau of Investigation, 1110 Third
Avenue, Seattle, Washington, and the warehouse will contain "Sensitive But
Unclassified" (SBU) information from the records systems of the MOU parties.
All parties with the exception of B.3 to this MOU contributing data to the
LInX will have equal access to the LInX functionality via secure Internet
connections for read, analytical and lead purposes only.
G. OWNERSHIP, ENTRY, AND MAINTENANCE OF INFORMATION.
1. Each party retains sole ownership of, exclusive control over content
and sole responsibility for the information it contributes, and may at will
at any time update or correct any of its information in LInX, or delete it
from the LInX entirely. All system entries will be clearly marked to identify
the contributing party.
2 . Just as each party retains sole ownership and control of the
information it contributes, so does a party retain sole ownership and control
of the copies of that information replicated in the LInX.
3 . The contributing party has the sole responsibility and
accountability for ensuring that no information is entered into LInX that was
obtained in violation of any Federal, State, or local law applicable to the
contributor.
4. The contributing party has the sole responsibility and
accountability for ensuring compliance with all applicable laws, regulations,
policies, and procedures applicable to the party's entry and sharing of
information into the LInX.
Puget Sound LInX MOU 3 02/03/05
5. The contributing party has the sole responsibility and
accountability for making reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy upon
entry, and continuing accuracy thereafter, of information contributed. Each
party will notify the contributing party and the Governance Board of any
challenge to the accuracy of the contributing party's information.
6. Because information housed by LInX will be limited to duplicates of
information obtained and separately managed by the entering party within its
own record system(s) , and for which the contributing party is solely
responsible and accountable, information submitted by the participating
parties shall not be altered or changed in any way, except by the
contributing party. The contributing party should not make any changes to
the data in the LInX warehouse that is not mirrored within the contributing
party's source records.
7 . The LInX will thus only be populated with mirrored information
derived from each contributing party's "own records, " and is not in any
manner intended to be an official repository of original records, or to be
used as a substitute for one, nor is the information in the system to be
accorded any independent record system status. Rather, this electronic
system is merely a means to provide timely access for the law enforcement
parties to information that replicates existing files/records systems.
8. To the extent that any newly discovered links, matches,
relationships, interpretations, etc. , located in "mining" of LInX information
may be relevant and appropriate for preservation as independent records, it
will be the responsibility of the accessing party to incorporate such
information as records of the accessing party in the party's own official
records system(s) in accordance with that party's records management processes
(subject to obtaining any contributing party's consent as provided below) . A
party that desires to incorporate in its own separate records information
contributed by another party, including any analytical products based on
another party's information, must first obtain the entering party's express
permission.
9. Commercially available references, public source information, and
software applications, such as commercial directories, census data, mapping
applications, and analytical applications are considered to be nonrecord
material and will be maintained in accordance with applicable contracts
and/or licensing agreements. To the extent that any such information is
relevant and appropriate for preservation as independent records, it will the
responsibility of the accessing party to incorporate such information as
records of the accessing party in the party's own official records system(s)
in accordance with that party's records management processes and any
applicable contract or licensing agreement.
10. Each agency has agreed to submit law enforcement, criminal justice
and investigative types of records, reports, and information into the LInX
warehouse.
11. There is no obligation and there should be no assumption that a
particular party's records housed in the LInX database warehouse represent
the totality of all records of that party's records system for any subject or
person.
Puget Sound LInX MOU 4 02/03/05
H. ACCESS TO AND USE OF INFORMATION
1. Each party will contribute information to the LInX and agrees to
permit the access, dissemination, and/or use of such information by every
other party under the provisions of this MOU (and any other applicable
agreements that may be established for the LInX) . The contributing party has
the sole responsibility and accountability for ensuring that it is not
constrained from permitting this by any laws, regulations, policies, and
procedures applicable to the submitting party.
2. Agencies that do not provide data for inclusion in the LInX are not
eligible to be parties without express, written approval of the LInX
Governance Board. Only duly constituted law enforcement agencies of a
Federal, military, state, county, or local jurisdiction may become a party of
the LInX.
3 . All parties will have access via a secure Internet connection to all
the information in the LInX, as provided in this MOU and any other applicable
agreements that may established for the LInX; and each agency is responsible
for providing its own Internet connectivity.
4. An accessing party has the sole responsibility and accountability
for ensuring that an access comports with any laws, regulations, policies,
and procedures applicable to the accessing party.
5. A party may only access the LInX when it has a legitimate, official
need to know the information for an authorized law enforcement, counter
terrorism, public safety, and/or national security purpose, after receiving
training appropriate to this MOU.
6. An accessing party may use information for official matters only.
The system can not be used for general licensing and employment purposes,
background investigations of federal, state or local employees or any other
non-law enforcement purpose.
7. Information in the system, including any analytical products, may
not be used for any unauthorized or non-official purpose and shall not be
disseminated outside of an accessing party without first obtaining express
permission of each party that contributed the information in question.
Specifically included within this prohibition is the use of information in
the preparation of judicial process such as affidavits, warrants, subpoenas,
etc.
8. Notwithstanding the requirement in the previous provision that
information may not be disseminated without first obtaining express
permission of each party that contributed the information in question, in
accordance with and to the extent permitted by applicable law, required court
process, or guidelines issued jointly by the Attorney General of the United
States and the Director of Central Intelligence, immediate dissemination of
information can be made if a determination is made by the recipient of the
information:
(a) that the matter involves an actual or potential threat of
terrorism, immediate danger of death or serious physical injury to
any person, or imminent harm to the national security; and
Puget Sound LInX MOU 5 02/03/05
(b) requires dissemination without delay to any appropriate federal,
state, local, or foreign government official for the purpose of
preventing or responding to such a threat.
The owner of the information shall be immediately notified of any and all
disseminations made under this exception.
9. Any requests for reports or data in LInX records from anyone other
than a party to this MOU will be directed to the contributing party.
10. Agencies other than the exception noted in paragraph B.2 above who
are not part of this MOU will not have direct access to LInX. Requests by
such agencies for copies of information contained in LInX must be referred to
the individual LInX party that owns the information.
11. The information in the LInX shall not be used to establish or verify
the eligibility of, or continuing compliance with statutory and regulatory
requirements by applicants for, recipients or beneficiaries of, participants
in, or providers of services with respect to, cash or in-kind assistance or
payments under the Federal or Commonwealth benefit programs, or to recoup
payments or delinquent debts under such Federal or Commonwealth benefit
programs.
12. The LInX will include an audit capability that will log user
activity. Each agency will designate a point of contact who shall have access
to that member agency's portion of the audit log. However, the audit log
aggregate is not a record of information wholly controlled by any one member
agency and no single member agency may disclose the content of the entire
log. Any requests for copies of the entire audit log will be forwarded to
each member agency for direct response to that member agency's portion of the
audit log.
I. SECURITY.
1. Each party will be responsible for designating those employees who
have access to the LInX. This system has been developed with the capability
to record each use of the system, including the identity of the individual
accessing the system, and the time of the access to the system, and the
information queried. The system was developed with security in mind. It
should be remembered by each participating member that access to the
information within the system should be on a strictly official, need-to-know
basis, and that all information is law enforcement sensitive.
2 . Each party agrees to use the same degree of care in protecting
information accessed under this MOU as it exercises with respect to its own
sensitive information. Each party agrees to restrict access to such
information to only those of it's (and it's governmental superiors) officers,
employees, detailees, agents, representatives, task force members,
contractors/subcontractors, consultants, or advisors with a official "need to
know" such information.
Puget Sound LInX MOU 6 02/03/05
3. Each party is responsible for training those employees authorized to
access the LInX system regarding the use and dissemination of information
obtained from the system. Specifically, employees should be given a clear
understanding of the need to verify the reliability of the information with
the contributing party before using the information for purposes such as
preparing affidavits, or obtaining subpoenas and warrants etc. Parties should
also fully brief accessing employees about the proscriptions for using third
party information as described in Section H, paragraphs 4-11, above.
J. PROPERTY.
1. The equipment purchased by the NCIS to support this effort will
remain the property of the NCIS. After expiration of any warranties, the
NCIS, FBI, and the Puget Sound LInX Regional Governance Board will determine
the responsibility for the maintenance of the server.
2 . Ownership of all property purchased by parties other than the NCIS
will remain the property of the purchasing party. Each party accessing the
LInX from the party's facility shall provide its own computer stations for
its designated employees to have use and access to the LInX. The accessing
party is responsible for configuring its computers to conform to the access
requirements. Maintenance of the equipment purchased by the accessing party
shall be the responsibility of that party.
K. COSTS.
1. Unless otherwise provided herein or in a supplementary writing, each
party shall bear its own costs in relation to this MOU. Even where a party
has agreed (or later does agree) to assume a particular financial
responsibility, the party's express written approval must be obtained before
the incurring by another party of each expense associated with the
responsibility. All obligations of and expenditures by the parties will be
subject to their respective budgetary and fiscal processes and subject to
availability of funds pursuant to all laws, regulations, and policies
applicable thereto. The parties acknowledge that there is no intimation,
promise, or guarantee that funds will be available in future years.
L. LIABILITY.
1. The LInX is not a separate legal entity capable of maintaining an
employer-employee relationship and, as such, all personnel assigned by a
party to perform LInX related functions shall not be considered employees of
the LInX or of any other party for any purpose. The assigning party thus
remains solely responsible for supervision, work schedules, performance
appraisals, compensation, overtime, vacations, retirement, expenses,
disability, and all other employment-related benefits incident to assignment
of its personnel to LInX functions.
2. Unless specifically addressed by the terms of this MOU (or other
written agreement) , the parties acknowledge responsibility for the negligent
or wrongful acts or omissions of their respective officers and employees, but
only to the extent they would be liable under the laws of the jurisdiction(s)
to which they are subject.
Puget Sound LInX MOU 7 02/03/05
M. GOVERNANCE.
1. The parties recognize that the success of this project requires
close cooperation on the part of all parties. To this end, the LInX will be
operated under a shared management concept in which the parties will be
involved in formulating operating policies and procedures. The LInX
Northwest Governance Board will consist of the head (or authorized designee)
of each participating law enforcement agency. The parties agree to comply
with all future policies and procedures developed by this Governance Board.
2. Each member of the Governance Board shall have an equal vote and
voice on all board decisions. Unless otherwise provided, Roberts Revised
Rules of Order shall govern all procedural matters relating to the business
of the Governance Board.
3 . A chairperson shall be elected by its members, together with such
other officers as a majority of the Board may determine. The chairperson, or
any board member, may call sessions as necessary. For a meeting to occur a
minimum of 51% of the membership must be present and a simple majority of
those present shall be required for passage of any policy matters. A tie
vote does not pass the matter. In emergency situations, the presiding
officer may conduct a telephone or email poll of Board members to resolve any
issues. The Board of Governors may also establish any needed committees such
as technical, user, and legal.
4. Disagreements among the parties arising under or relating to this
MOU shall be resolved only via consultation at the lowest practicable level
by and between the affected parties and their sponsoring agencies (or as
otherwise may be provided under any separate governance procedures) and will
not be referred to any court, or to any other person or entity for
settlement. All unresolved matters will go before the Governance Board.
5. The Governance Board may establish additional procedures and rules
for the governance of LInX and in furtherance thereof may enter into one or
more separate formal or informal agreements, provided that any such agreement
does not conflict with the spirit, intent, or provisions of this MOU, and is
sufficiently memorialized to meet the business purposes of LInX governance
(including adequately informing current and future parties) . Such governance
agreement(s) may, for instance address: organizational structure and
control; executive management and administration; delegation of authority;
operating policies, procedures, rules, and practices; meetings, quorums, and
voting procedures; audits; and sanctions (including involuntary termination
of a party's participation in this MOU) .
N. NO RIGHTS IN NON-PARTIES.
1. This MOU is an agreement among the parties and is not intended, and
should not be construed, to create or confer on any other person or entity
any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or
otherwise against the NCIS, the Department of the Navy, the Department of
Defense, the FBI, the Department of Justice, the United States, a party, or
any State, county, locality, or other sponsor under whose auspices a party is
participating in the LInX or the officers, directors, employees, detailees,
agents, representatives, contractors, subcontractors, consultants, advisors,
successors, assigns or other agencies thereof.
Puget Sound LInX MOU 8 02/03/05
0. EFFECTIVE DATE/DURATION/MODIFICATION/TERMINATION.
1. As among the original parties, this MOU shall become effective when
the duly authorized representatives of each party have all signed it. For
parties who subsequently join, this MOU shall become effective when completed
and signed by the joining party's duly authorized representative and
countersigned by the representatives of the LInX authorized to do so under
LInX Governance procedures applicable at the time of joining.
2. This MOU shall continue in force indefinitely for so long as it
continues to advance the participants' mission purposes, contingent upon
approval and availability of necessary funding.
3. This MOU may be modified upon the mutual written consent of the duly
authorized representatives of all parties. However, the parties may, without
the need of formal MOU modification, cooperatively address and resolve
administrative, technical, and operational details relating to this MOU,
provided that any such resolution: does not conflict with the spirit, intent,
or provisions of this MOU; could not reasonably be viewed as particularly
sensitive, controversial, or objectionable by one or more parties; and is
sufficiently memorialized to meet the business purposes of LInX governance
(including adequately informing current and future parties) .
4. This MOU may be terminated at any time by the mutual written
agreement of the duly authorized representatives of all parties. A party's
duly authorized representative may also terminate the party's participation
in the MOU upon written notice to all other parties of not less than thirty
30 days. A party's participation may also be terminated involuntarily as may
be provided in applicable governance agreement.
5. Upon termination of this MOU, all property being used under its
purview will be returned to the respective supplying party. Similarly, if an
individual party's participation in this MOU is terminated, the party will
return any property to supplying parties, and the remaining parties will
return any property supplied by the withdrawing party.
6. All information contributed to the LInX by a terminating party will
be deleted from LInX.
7. As to information in the LInX during a party's participation under
this MOU, the rights, obligations, responsibilities, limitations, and other
understandings with respect to the disclosure and use of such information
shall survive any termination. This applies both as to a terminating party's
information, and to the other parties' disclosure and use of a terminating
party's information.
