Abstract

As part of nationwide, ongoing digital government initiatives, COPLINK [Chen et al. 2002, Chen et al. 2003, Hauck et al. 2002] is an integrated information and knowledge management environment aimed at meeting some of the challenges faced by the law enforcement community. Funded by the National Institute of Justice and the National Science Foundation, a prototype for COPLINK was initially developed at the University of Arizona's Artificial Intelligence Lab in collaboration with the Tucson Police Department (TPD) and Phoenix Police Department (PPD). COPLINK was developed into a product by Knowledge Computing Corporation (KCC) and deployed in approximately one hundred law enforcement agencies nationwide [see for example The Los Angeles Daily News Dec. 6, 2003 and Anchorage Daily News Nov. 23, 2003].
