Regional Trainer

About the Automated Regional Justice Information System (ARJIS)

The ARJIS Department develops and maintains a complex, multi-agency information network that allows real-time law enforcement applications and data to be shared among 65 local, state, and federal criminal justice agencies. The information is used for tactical planning, investigations, and crime analysis. Providing real-time shared access to information increases collaboration among law enforcement jurisdictions, improves the overall effectiveness of the regional criminal justice system, and helps to address and anticipate public safety issues to improve the quality of life for residents of the San Diego region. The focus of current projects is on the development, implementation, and management of the ARJIS Enterprise System which is comprised of a suite of tools such as mapping applications, real time officer notifications, reporting, and other applications used for tactical planning and analytical queries.
