What primary role does the LESC serve for criminal justice agencies?

The Law Enforcement Support Center (LESC) plays a crucial role in providing law enforcement agencies access to timely information related to criminal records and warrants. Its primary function is to respond to inquiries regarding criminal records, assisting agencies in verifying the identities of individuals and ensuring that they have accurate information during investigations or encounters with the public.

By having a centralized resource like the LESC, law enforcement can streamline processes for confirming hits on warrants or criminal records, which is essential for maintaining public safety and the integrity of law enforcement operations. This support is particularly valuable when agencies need immediate assistance or confirmation during critical situations, such as traffic stops or suspect apprehensions.
