Law Enforcement Coordinating Committee

Each United States Attorney's Office has a Law Enforcement Coordinating Committee (LECC) comprised of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. The LECC is guided by the Law Enforcement Coordinator (LEC). The goal of the LECC is to improve cooperation and coordination among local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, thereby enhancing the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the criminal justice system. We have accomplished this by developing partnerships and working in cooperation with these partners to ensure our LECC program is a success and that we’re meeting the needs of all law enforcement agencies in the Eastern District of Wisconsin.

Based upon the regular contact with law enforcement officials, the LEC works closely with the SACs / ASACs and RACs of various federal law enforcement agencies (ATF, DEA, FBI, ICE, Secret Service and the USMS) to sponsor training programs throughout the District for local, state, federal and tribal agencies. Examples of training programs provided by LECC include: Mortgage Fraud, Problem Oriented Policing for supervisors, Sovereign Citizens, Immigration Issues, Hate Crimes Summit, Human Trafficking, Counter Currency / Social Security Cards and Driver’s Licenses,  Federal and State Firearms Laws, Dignitary Protection, Protecting Places of Worship, Asset Forfeiture, Behavioral Recognition Training, and Where Do Gun Crimes Come From and Firearms Tracing, Identity Theft.  The LECC also coordinates officer wellness trainings from VALOR like Suicide Awareness for Law Enforcement Officers and Survive and Thrive.  The LECC also participates in statewide conferences including the Active Threat-Integrated Response Conference and Law Enforcement Peer Support Conference.  

During the past several years, working in cooperation with federal, state, and local partners, our office has sponsored over one hundred training programs, which have been attended by thousands of law enforcement officers.
