Law Enforcement Enterprise Portal (LEEP)

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Law Enforcement Enterprise Portal (LEEP) system is part of the Criminal Justice Information Service Division (CJIS).

The LEEP is a secure virtual gateway providing law enforcement agencies access to shared law enforcement resources such as facts, criminal investigation leads, current news, and intelligence. The information contained within LEEP can strengthen criminal case development.

LEEP is available to local, city, state, tribal and federal law enforcement agencies that have a LEEP Identified Provider (IdP). Once an authorized user logs into LEEP, they select the icons that their agencies has access. Many of the resources have multiple links to additional resources.

Sharing of law enforcement criminal intelligence does not happen in a vacuum. The LEEP program is a warehouse of law enforcement resources designed for sharing and collaboration among agencies. Since the 9/11 attacks law enforcement criminal intelligence sharing has strengthened our homeland defense. Virtual information sharing allows vital resources and criminal intelligence sharing to occur quickly among different agencies in multiple jurisdictions.
