LEADS has conducted on-site audits of our users since 1990. These inspections are done every 2 years and serve as an opportunity for an agency to benefit from one-on-one interaction with a knowledgeable member of LEADS. The 3 data security specialists and their supervisor divide their time between reviewing LEADS operations during audits and conducting a variety of training sessions. Each agency on LEADS designates a point of contact called a terminal agency coordinator, (TAC). The TAC is required to attend a class that introduces them to the responsibilities of the position. They are also required to attend annual in-service training put on by the LEADS trainers. These same trainers provide classes in basic LEADS use too. The auditing and training section also publishes our quarterly newsletter, The LEADing News, and maintains our training and operator manuals.
