Cross-jurisdictional query tools
Platforms
This page is public-interest research. An argument grade is not a court finding. A watchdog page describes the device. It is not proof a Nevada agency bought it or turned a feature on. A product description is not a Nevada practice. Agencies are not merged: the City of Las Vegas Department of Public Safety, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, the Clark County School District, the City of Reno, and the Nevada Department of Public Safety stay separate. A hotlist hit is not a confirmed crime. Legal review of this page is unverified.
What it does
A cross-jurisdictional query tool lets an analyst in one agency search records another agency contributed, often across a state line. N-DEx is one federal system of this kind and has its own card. This card is every other shared search box. A search across agencies is a wider look than a search of one department’s files.
Privacy watchdog concerns
No watchdog page is attached.
Constitutional issues
Unresolved question
No constitutional provision is attached. The factual record is not sufficient.
Warrant practice not established for a Nevada agency
Cross-jurisdictional query tools: No Nevada shared-search agreement is in this build other than the systems on their own cards. Those cards do not document a login. No holding is applied.
No decision in this library decides a cross-jurisdictional query tool other than the systems already named.
Statutes attached to read, not findings.
- NRS Chapter 239. Nevada public-records law is the route to ask for contracts, policies, and logs. Citing it is not a finding that a surveillance practice is unlawful.
