NY Governor Cuomo announced recently a new data sharing initiative that uses a secure Internet portal that gives law enforcement agencies instantaneous access to information which is housed by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The information includes photos of all New York State drivers and non-drivers, vehicle registrations, drivers’ lifetime driving histories, real time alerts of traffic violations and other changes to a driver’s record.
“This initiative adds another tool for law enforcement, making it easier for them to identify, find and arrest suspects,” Governor Cuomo said. “Providing better access to DMV information is part of an ongoing effort to make state government more productive, effective and streamlined.”
