LEO supports the FBI's ten priorities by providing cost-effective, time-critical national alerts and information sharing to first responders, law enforcement, and antiterrorism and intelligence agencies in support of the Global War on Terrorism. LEO is provided to members of the law enforcement community at no cost to their respective agencies. It is the mission of LEO to catalyze and enhance collaboration and information exchange across the FBI and mission partners with state-of-the-art commercial off-the-shelf communications services and tools, providing a user-friendly portal and software for communications and information exchange.
LEO is a 7 days a week, 24 hours a day online (real-time), controlled-access communications and information sharing data repository. It provides an Internet accessible focal point for electronic Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) communication and information sharing for the international, federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies. LEO also supports antiterrorism, intelligence, law enforcement, criminal justice, and public safety communities worldwide. Users anywhere in the world can communicate securely using LEO.
The LEO National Alert System (NAS) is an alert system that can deliver secure information to 20,000 users/command centers within 5 minutes. The NAS is capable of sending up to 160,000 unsecured notifications to pagers, cellular phones, and other wireless devices to advise that an alert has been sent.
The VCC is a situational awareness mechanism and crisis management tool that is used for tracking, displaying, and disseminating intelligence and tactical information. In addition, the VCC provides ready access to a wide range of reference materials that are appropriate to the event and/or venue. Because the VCC resides on the LEO system, it can be utilized and/or reviewed by authorized members from multiple, geographically dispersed locations.
