Systems and methods for developing, deploying, providing, and/or operating community-based investigative tools are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method may include receiving a query from a user (e.g., an investigator, etc.), the user associated with a given one of a plurality of controlled-environment facilities (e.g., a prison, jail, etc.), each of the plurality of facilities having access to a distinct database configured to store data relating to its respective residents (e.g., inmates). The method may also include determining an access level of the given one of the plurality of facilities. The method may further include retrieving information from one or more of the distinct databases in response to the query, the retrieved information commensurate with the access level. In some implementations, a database accessible to a first facility may not be accessible to a second facility unless the first and second facilities are members of the same investigative community.
