GATSO USA Forms Unique, Strategic Partnership with Nlets

Earlier this month, GATSO USA was approved as a strategic partner by the Board of Directors of the National Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (Nlets). Nlets is the nation’s premier interstate network for the exchange of critical law enforcement, criminal justice, and public safety-related information. Supporting every agency at the state, local and federal level, the Nlets system provides unrivalled reliability based on a network built to endure threats without impacting performance. The approval of GATSO is an exciting first for the photo-enforcement industry.

Nlets will be hosting GATSO's back office and server operations within the Nlets infrastructure. GATSO will have access to registered owner information for all 50 states plus additional provinces in Canada. The strategic relationship has been described as a "win-win" for both organizations.

From Nlets' perspective, there are key benefits to providing GATSO with hosted service. Most importantly, it virtually guarantees personal data security. Due to this extra step of storing personal data behind the DMV walls of Nlets, the public can be assured that security breaches — such as the recent incident with PlayStation users — are avoided.

From GATSO's perspective, hosting the system with Nlets will provide a ruggedized, robust connection to comprehensive registered owner information — without the security issues faced by other vendors in this industry.

Nlets was created over 40 years ago by the principal law enforcement agencies of the States. Today, it serves law enforcement agencies in all of the United States and territories, all Federal agencies with a justice component, selected international agencies, as well as a variety of strategic partners — all cooperatively exchanging data. The types of data exchanged vary from motor vehicle and drivers' data, to Canadian and Interpol databases, state criminal history records, and driver license and corrections images. Operations consist of nearly 1 billion transactions a year to over 900,000 PC, mobile and handheld devices 45,000 agencies, and to 1.2 million individual users.
