Coplink is an Internet based database of databases that collects and updates information from the records management systems of more than 230 agencies including the Board of Probation and the Registry of Motor Vehicles. This database includes department reports and booking photos from disparate local and State Police RMS networks and deposits them into a single, searchable database. It allows you to search the entire database for reports from a single agency or a group of agencies. In addition to incident reports, you can also find booking photos to create mug books or photo arrays. It also allows the user to determine associations between persons, locations, vehicles and phone numbers. Law Enforcement Personnel from more than 300 agencies across the state have access to more than 5,000,000 documents and booking photos through Coplink.

Coplink can be accessed easily from any Internet connected device. It is especially useful locate and identify suspects or to quickly create photo arrays.

CrimeNtel is an intelligence database where authorized users can upload information into a searchable database. This information may include police reports, investigative leads, tips or even newspaper stories.

College and University Police agencies as well as agencies to cannot contribute data directly through Coplink are encouraged to use CrimeNtel as a way to share reports and intelligence. CrimeNtel can only be accessed from a computer which is capable or accessing the CJIS network and is subject to the restrictions of 28 CFR part 23, which is covered during the training.
