The Ohio Law Enforcement Gateway is a secure web-based platform helping criminal justice agencies to connect, solve and prevent crimes. OHLEG provides a number of applications, resources and data sources in a single, free investigative tool.
As of July 2020, OHLEG had 24,899 active users: local, state and federal law enforcement officers; emergency dispatchers; prosecutors; and court personnel. Use of the system is limited to these professionals, and not every app is available to every user. Rules are in place to address concerns and guide OHLEG users in appropriate utilization of the resources. Misuse of the system is a felony of the fifth degree, according to Ohio Revised Code 2913.04(D).
The OHLEG Division’s goals are to keep this invaluable tool available for use by criminal justice agencies working to protect the citizens of Ohio, while also respecting the privacy rights of those same citizens.
