County hears Peregrine demo for cross-jurisdiction public-safety data sharing; questions about federal access
Summary
A vendor demonstration of Peregrine outlined a platform for sharing 911 calls, reports and case files across county agencies. Legislators sought clarification about whether the system directly shares data with federal agencies such as ICE; the vendor said it does not share directly and follows agency data‑sharing policies.
Jackson County Executive Phil Levoda introduced a demonstration of Peregrine on July 13, describing the software as a way for jurisdictions across the county to share incident data and operational context. Lauren MacPhail, a Peregrine representative, said the platform connects existing agency systems and allows authorized users to search a consolidated, permissioned view of 911 calls, police reports and case files; she said Peregrine is used by more than 400 agencies in the U.S. and Canada.
Legislators pressed the vendor on data‑sharing limits and whether federal agencies would receive information. MacPhail replied, "Peregrine does not directly share with the federal government. We align with all policies and data sharing procedures of the agency at hand or the county," and said federal access would be governed by each agency's policies and existing agreements. Members requested a later work session for a deeper briefing and privacy review.
