The Michigan Law Enforcement Information Network (LEIN) is a statewide computerized information system, which was established July 1, 1967, as a service to Michigan's criminal justice agencies. The goal of LEIN is to assist the criminal justice community in the performance of its duties by providing and maintaining a computerized filing system of accurate and timely documented criminal justice information readily available to all criminal justice agencies.
LEIN access is permitted to criminal justice agencies in the discharge of their official, mandated responsibilities.
Criminal penalties for the misuse of LEIN are provided in Section 4 of the LEIN Policy Council Act, MCL 28.214, which specifically states:
- For a first offense, guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 93 days or a fine of not more than $500.00, or both.
- For a second or subsequent offense, guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 4 years or a fine of not more than $2,000.00, or both.
Agencies wishing to obtain access to LEIN must submit a user agreement (CJIS-001), local agency security officer appointment form (CJIS-007), and a network diagram. The network diagram must depict the agency's network (including firewalls, routers, and switches), all connections to LEIN (present or desired), and any external entities which connect into the agencies network. These forms may be obtained by sending an email to Pam Cruz, LEIN Applications Analyst, at cruzpj@michigan.gov or by calling 517-636-4548. Questions regarding the network diagram and it's requirements can be sent to Terri Smith, MSP Information Security Officer, at smithta@michigan.gov.
