The Regional Information Sharing Systems (RISS) Program is composed of six regional centers that share intelligence and coordinate efforts against criminal networks that operate in many locations across jurisdictional lines. Typical targets of RISS activities are drug trafficking, violent crime and gang activity, and organized criminal activities. Each of the centers, however, selects its own target crimes and the range of services provided to member agencies.

Cryptographic software solutions and how to use them.
This book is intended as a basic primer for people that do not know a lot (or anything as the case may be) about cryptography but are interested or concerned about it (in an actual "should I be using it, and if yes, what should I use, and how?"). The book starts with a brief set of explanations of why you might want to use cryptographic software, and how cryptography works. This is followed by chapters on the various tasks or problems you wish to solve using cryptography and which packages might be useful. The bulk of the book is practical explanations of how to install, configure and use various software packages for various situations (such as encrypting email in Windows).
