How Law Enforcement Authorities Can Contact the USNCB

The USNCB is available ONLY to the law enforcement community 24-hours a day, every day of the year.

Federal law enforcement agencies may use established procedures to contact the USNCB.

State or local law enforcement agencies may contact the USNCB directly or through their respective INTERPOL State Liaison Office.

U.S. law enforcement agencies may contact the USNCB directly through the National Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (NLETS) at DCINTER00.

The USNCB needs the following information from the law enforcement community in order to transmit a request for investigative or humanitarian assistance:

  • name, title, and law enforcement agency of the requester, and contact information
  • case number
  • priority of the request and explanation if urgent
  • crime(s) being investigated or humanitarian matter involved
  • facts and circumstances of the matter under investigation
  • details of action or information requested
  • all available biographical data on subject(s); including, but not limited to, complete name, date of birth, nationality/ies, passport information, address, parents' names, addresses

How the Public Can Contact USNCB

Private citizens and non-law enforcement entities who believe that they need foreign police assistance in a criminal or humanitarian matter must contact the appropriate U.S. law enforcement agency (usually a state or local police office). That law enforcement agency will contact the USNCB if it determines that international criminal investigative or humanitarian assistance is needed.  

Humanitarian assistance includes such matters as checking on the welfare of an individual, or, notifying families of per sons who have died or become seriously ill while abroad.
