The IACP recently announced support for S. 843, the Gun Show Background Check Act. The IACP recently called for sustained funding for the Regional Information Sharing Systems (RISS) at a funding level of a minimum of $45 million in FY 2011, even though funding is authorized at $50 million (according to the USA Patriot Act), and program demands indicate a need for $60 million.
