What kind of information does NLETS facilitate between agencies?

NLETS, which stands for National Law Enforcement Telecommunications System, is specifically designed to facilitate the exchange of criminal justice-related information between agencies. This system allows law enforcement agencies across different jurisdictions to share vital data, such as warrant status, stolen vehicles, and other relevant criminal records efficiently and effectively.

The focus of NLETS is on supporting the needs of law enforcement and public safety entities, which distinguishes it from systems handling civil information, financial transactions, or environmental data. By streamlining communication and information sharing among criminal justice agencies, NLETS plays a critical role in enhancing public safety and enabling timely law enforcement responses.
