Definition and Purpose

The California Law Enforcement Telecommunication System (CLETS) is a secure, statewide communications network that provides law enforcement and criminal justice agencies with direct access to databases containing criminal histories, vehicle registration, protective orders, and other critical records. Designed to support timely and informed decision-making, CLETS enables real-time data exchange between local, state, and federal entities. Its core purpose is to enhance public safety by ensuring authorized personnel can quickly access and share sensitive law enforcement information when needed.

Access CLETS by GateKeeper Proximity Tokens

GateKeeper has helped numerous law enforcement agencies across California streamline access to their CLETS systems through proximity-based multi-factor authentication (MFA). By using GateKeeper tokens, officers can automatically log in when approaching their workstations and securely log out when leaving, which eliminates the need for manual password entry. This not only speeds up access to critical criminal justice data but also ensures that sensitive information remains protected from unauthorized use.
