Middle Atlantic Great Lakes Organized Crime Law Enforcement Network

The Middle Atlantic-Great Lakes Organized Crime Law Enforcement Network (MAGLOCLEN) is one of the Regional Information Sharing Systems, known as RISS, initiated by U.S. Congress in 1974 to aid law enforcement agencies in targeting, identifying, and removing multi-jurisdictional criminal elements.

The Bureau of Justice Assistance utilizes two agencies to evaluate the effectiveness of the RISS program: the Intelligence Systems Policy Review Board and the Institute for Intergovernmental Research (IIR). In addition, the Policy Board, elected by the law enforcement agencies of MAGLOCLEN, meets regularly to review and assess the services of the center.

The MAGLOCLEN headquarters is located in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Membership consists of federal, state, and local law enforcement. The MAGLOCLEN region spans Delaware, District of Columbia, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec.
