There are fears limited information sharing is hindering authorities efforts to tackle transnational crime.
A report from a Ministerial Advisory Group focused on organised crime says there's sparse coordination between agencies, technological limitations, and people are fearful of sharing what could be useful information.
It's recommending a new sharing framework and tweaks to the Privacy Act to make it easier.
Chair Steve Symon told Mike Hosking change is needed.
He says he's been a prosecutor for 20 years and it's been the bane of their existence, which has worsened over time as agencies become more siloed and risk adverse.
