Pegasus Program

Local-to-Local (L2L) information sharing was initiated by the National Sheriffs’ Association (NSA) in 2001 and now operates under the name “Nationwide Pegasus Program”. The Pegasus Program is administered by a 501(c)(3) nonprofit entity and is endorsed and supported by NSA. The Pegasus Program’s mission is to enhance the ability of local law enforcement to solve local crimes by connecting local databases of law enforcement, jail and other repositories of public records. This effort is intended to enable information sharing and integration across county and State boundaries in a way that meets and responds to routine investigative and operational needs of local law enforcement. The Program also makes local law enforcement information accessible to federal law enforcement with the approval of each individual owner of the records (local law enforcement). Pegasus conforms to federal standards established by DOJ and DHS.
