¶1.  The Law Enforcement On-Line (LEO) provides a secure web- 
based crisis management software application known as the 
Virtual Command Center (VCC).  The VCC provides a virtual 
information-sharing platform where by critical, time 
sensitive unclassified information may be disseminated both 
vertically throughout an organization and horizontally 
across agency boundaries to authorized agencies/members. 
The VCC facilitates joint, multi-agency operations by 
providing each participating agency/member with a common 
view of an event as well as an understanding of each of the 
participant's efforts in addressing the event. 
 
¶2.  The VCC is a web-based application which permits the 
various participating agencies/members to utilize the 
numerous application folders such as the VCCs Situation 
Board, maps, schedules, etc., from multiple, geographically 
dispersed locations via the Internet. 
 
¶3.  The LEO network system is only available to persons duly 
employed by a law enforcement, criminal justice or public 
safety agency/department and whose position requires secure 
communications with other agencies.  The requesting 
agency/member must submit a LEO application and once 
approved, the requesting agency/member will receive a 
compact disc with the LEO application hardware for 
installation onto an Internet computer.
