Who is authorized to access the LESC?

Agencies authorized to request criminal record information are the correct choice because the LESC (Law Enforcement Support Center) is designed to provide support and access to specific law enforcement agencies that are engaged in official duties. These agencies must have the legal authority to access and use criminal record information based on their law enforcement responsibilities.

This ensures that sensitive information is only accessible to those who are authorized and able to operate within the framework of the law, maintaining confidentiality and protecting individuals’ rights. The scope of access is strictly regulated to prevent misuse of the information, which is crucial for maintaining public trust and upholding the integrity of law enforcement agencies.

Those not included in the authorized categories, such as private investigators and civilian personnel, do not have the same level of access due to the nature of their work and the regulations surrounding crime data.
