Developed
by the Ohio Office of Criminal Justice Services (OCJS), the Law
Enforcement Officer’s Toolkit (LEOT) is a software solution for Ohio law
enforcement agencies in need of a records management system.
The
LEOT effectively manages information on offense reports, arrests,
citations, crash reports, property room items and investigator notes, as well as provides
a master name index and other search capabilities. It is easily accessed
on laptops in the field, allowing law enforcement to enter reports and
maintain their presence on the road or in the community. The software also
enables police departments and sheriffs’ offices to participate in the
Ohio Incident-Based Reporting System (OIBRS) program for state and FBI
electronic crime reporting.
Over
375 law enforcement agencies in Ohio use the LEOT software for their
records management needs. Because the LEOT was created with federal grant funding, OCJS is able to provide the software package, an estimated value of $6,000, free to law enforcement agencies. An
annual flat fee of only $350 provides agencies with LEOT
maintenance, support, and updates.
The
LEOT works with Access 97, 2000, and XP databases, as well as 2000 Professional and XP operating systems. Servers
that are 2000 Professional, XP, NT 4.0, 2000 Server, 2003
Server, and Novell work with the LEOT software. The LEOT is also
OLLEISN Level I & II Certified.

Since 2004 we have gone online with the Property Room (Evidence) Module of
the Toolkit. This module has reduced duplicating documents at the patrol
level. Now the patrol officer just checks a box in the Property Segment
of the report and the information is forwarded to the Property Room
(Evidence) Module.
