Explanation:
After the 9/11 attack in the United States, an urgent need to have a central criminal database came to surface. One DOJ was created with the purpose of allowing <em>local enforcement</em> to research and read <em>federal criminal cases</em>. It took about 18 months to be developed. Information in this database includes but is not limited to the Bureau of Prisons, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement Administration and, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF).
