Full text

To improve public safety through accountable institutional coordination, this Act establishes within the Department of State Police a statewide intelligence-sharing and crime analysis framework for voluntary participation by state, county, municipal, and tribal law enforcement agencies, with common reporting standards, real-time information exchange on organized retail theft networks, firearm trafficking, and repeat violent offenders, and regional prosecutorial coordination support; provides competitive grants for local agencies to upgrade records systems, analyst capacity, and retail theft task-force partnerships; authorizes targeted sentencing and pretrial supervision recommendations for defendants convicted of organized retail theft conspiracies or repeat violent felony offenses consistent with existing constitutional protections; and requires written data-retention limits, annual independent audits, officer training standards, and public reporting to the Legislature to ensure civil-liberties compliance, measurable results, and proper oversight.

I believe we should make participation by law enforcement agencies mandatory, not voluntary.

I disagree. Voluntary is vital as agencies have different needs and priorities for very valid reasons.
