Aims to establish a streamlined process for entering and cancelling teletype messages in the LEADS system related to police reports.

Officers must contact the Emergency Communications Center for LEADS computer entry.
Required for situations involving:
- Wanted persons
- Missing persons
- Stolen firearms
- Serialized stolen articles
- Stolen vehicles
All LEADS teletype messages must be entered by the end of an officer's duty shift, unless the case is ongoing.
Officers' reports must include:

Any officer can cancel a LEADS message independently by reaching out to the Emergency Communications Center.
Upon request, a telecommunicator will:
- Cancel the message
- Attach the original message to the cancellation
- Record the officer's name as the cancelling authority
- Note the original report number
