Who governs RISS and what is the role of the RISS National Policy Group?
The RISS National Policy Group (RNPG) is composed of the six RISS Center Directors and the chair of each RISS Center’s policy board. Each RISS Center has an established policy board or executive committee composed of representatives from member criminal justice agencies in the Center’s multistate region. The primary purpose of center policy boards is to provide direction affecting center policy, operation, and administration. The RNPG is responsible for strategic planning, resolution of operational issues, advancement of information sharing, and decision making affecting the RISS Centers, the national organization, service delivery, member agencies, and related partner organizations.
