The “National Law Enforcement and Community Policing Integrated Network” (commonly referred to as the OPS Network), a recognized GovTech contractor, is opening the application process for state law enforcement agencies and Fusion Centers nationwide to be considered to participate in the next phase of a  national project.

The “Law Enforcement Notification | Sharing” platform (OPS LENS™) has been successfully launched statewide across the State of New Jersey during “Phase 1” (2024-2025) —serving as the first state connecting every level of law enforcement in real time – transforming how agencies and officers share intelligence, alerts, and resources.

The project is now expanding to “Phase 2”.

What is the “Law Enforcement Notification | Sharing” platform (OPS LENS™)?

OPS LENS™ was developed by law enforcement for law enforcement to serve as the only national capable, real-time and law enforcement secure network that eliminates silos by delivering instant, multimedia alerts and notifications—text, images, video, and audio—directly from and to officers across jurisdictions, on any device. It enables officers and agencies to not only receive critical intelligence but also respond and collaborate immediately, creating a dynamic, two-way exchange of information.

With the overwhelming success of the project during “Phase 1”, OPS LENS™ is now trusted by the State of New Jersey – managed by the New Jersey State Police – serving as the state’s primary law enforcement information and alert notification platform, and now includes selected agencies in New York, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and various federal agencies – transforming how police agencies communicate and collaborate in the region.

With over 630 agencies and nearly 20K law enforcement professionals already active on the system, OPS LENS™ has proven its ability to quickly scale and unify law enforcement at every level. By breaking down jurisdictional barriers, strengthening situational awareness, and accelerating response times, OPS LENS™ is reshaping public safety collaboration nationwide. OPS LENS™ offers a proven, future-ready platform that empowers agencies to act faster, work smarter, and protect communities more effectively while expanding this connection across the nation.

In concert with the state-of-the-art OPS CONNECT™ mobile application (accessible to all OPS LENS™ users), each agency and user joins thousands of law enforcement professionals to experience seamless connection via the nation’s #1 secure law enforcement collaboration platform from any device, to include Android and iOS mobile devices.
