Police
have a new, powerful tool in crime solving called the Law
Enforcement Information Exchange (LInX). The LInX
project centers around an information-sharing database including the
most comprehensive law enforcement photograph repository in the
country. What else is great about this joint, regional program
that includes 25 Hampton Roads law enforcement agencies and the U.S.
Naval Criminal Investigative Service? The program is chaired
by our own Chief of Police, Mark Marshall.
Our officers
are on the cutting edge of technology, and have already used this
program to curtail and solve a local crime spree, making arrests on
multiple charges for the suspects involved in crimes in the
Grimesland area of Smithfield.
It was
through the rapidly available information in the LInX program that
the suspect in the shooting of Norfolk police officer Stanley Reaves
was captured in New York on the day of Officer Reaves' funeral.
