Summary: Since deploying Palantir Technologies Government Software at the Sheriff's Office Intelligence Center, the system has significantly enhanced investigatory abilities, streamlined criminal analysis, and helped generate critical intelligence products that support the crime fighting efforts of law enforcement agencies across Cook County. Palantir's engineers have successfully connected the following data sources: I-Clear (the City of Chicago Arrest Database), Cook County Sheriff's Police Record Management System, the Jail Management System, Protocol (the Electronic Monitoring database), Securus (the inmate phone system database), the Computerized Dispatch System for the County (CAD), the Computerized Booking System for the County (CABS) and the Regional Gang Intelligence Database (RIGID). These systems previously had no way to communicate with one another. Palantir has provided the Sheriff's Office Intelligence Center with the ability to generate high level criminal intelligence products with unprecedented accuracy and efficiency. Currently, there is a need to increase the number of licenses and servers of Palantir, in order to support the collection and exchange of data with other law enforcement agencies throughout the county
