New York and Wisconsin Reject Matrix
After cost benefit analysis both states decided not to continue their involvement with the Matrix interstate law enforcement database operated by Seisint, a private company in Boca Raton, Florida. Only five of the more than one dozen states remain involved with the Matrix project because of growing doubts about federal funding and lower expectations of the benefits of using the database. The Matrix database would allow the sharing of criminal, prison and vehicle information among participants.
