| Can someone tell me what this LEADS database is that cops use. How much of a persons history is on this database? |

Leads will give an officer your DL info and your criminal History. It will also warn an officer if you have been labeled a gang member or if there is an officer safety issue with you. It will give officer any warrant information too. I'm sure a full timer will be along shortly to fill you in on the rest.

Google is your friend...Results 1 - 10 of about 13,000 for ncic LEADS. (0.16 seconds) General Information (October 2002) LEADS Section 1 - Page 1 1.2 DESCRIPTION OF PRESENT SYSTEM At the center of the system is a mainframe computer, which acts as the focal point for all the data or messages entered. At each terminal agency location is an intelligent workstation, coupled with a printer. The LEADS mainframe is directly linked to the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) mainframe in Clarksburg, West Virginia. Ohio criminal justice agencies have the ability to add data to NCIC files, as well as make inquiries. The LEADS is also directly linked to the National Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (NLETS) in Phoenix, Arizona. Out-of-state inquiries about persons, vehicles or licenses, as well as administrative messages are processed by the LEADS through NLETS and NCIC. Around 17,000 devices access these functions associated with LEADS. The auto alert function is an active file of all "stolen" Ohio registered vehicles. The information about the vehicle can be stored, modified, canceled or later retrieved for inquiry purposes. In order to make the information available to local and national criminal justice agencies, all LEADS auto alert entries, other than those specified for Ohio want only, are also entered in NCIC. Wanted, missing and unidentified persons functions provide name, address, physical descriptions and other identifying characteristics of the person. In addition, a warrant for the person will identify the crime as to whether it is a felony or misdemeanor and the nature of the crime. It also includes information on missing persons and unidentified living or deceased persons, as well as missing juveniles. Once a subject is incarcerated, a detainer can be placed on the subject’s warrant entry. |
