Local Executive Board

The Local Executive Board (LEB) governs each RCFL and operates in a manner similar to that of a board of directors. The LEB is comprised of representatives from the Participating Agencies, and their role is to oversee the operations of its RCFL. In this capacity, the LEB does not hold any legal authority; rather its mission is to review any policy, procedure, practice and/or rule affecting the day-to-day activities of the RCFL.

• “As we move into the 21st Century and with the growth of computers in our lives, the Regional Computer Forensics Lab provides a much-needed tool for law enforcement officials. Already the Lab has proven its worth with intervention and arrest of individuals for such heinous crimes as luring children from their homes and the arrest of sexual predators.
  
  Precinct 5 is proud to be associated with this joint effort and it proves what can happen when agencies work together for the common good.”
