# Nlets **Domain:** Austin Research / Surveillance **Doc Type:** Research entity **Source basis:** Supplied essay and the specifically identified records; verification scope is recorded in [[wiki/Austin Surveillance Evidence Ledger|the evidence ledger]]. **Nlets**, styled **NLETS** in the historical DHS briefing, is a named prospective information-sharing partner in the LEIS expansion record. It belongs in the Austin map because the essay uses the partner slide to show how regional systems were positioned within a national exchange environment. The source’s status distinction is the central fact: NLETS is under agreements **expected in FY2010**, together with N-DEx, while NCTCOG LEAP appears under existing MOUs. The slide documents an intended expansion; it does not record completion of the NLETS agreement or demonstrate that Austin users could query it through LEAP in 2012. The relevant research task is to retrieve the completed agreement and implementation date, then establish which services and authorized users it covered. Keeping this node separate from [[wiki/National Data Exchange|N-DEx]] also prevents similarly placed national exchange names from becoming an undifferentiated database in the argument. ## Connected entries [[wiki/DHS Law Enforcement Information Sharing Service|DHS Law Enforcement Information Sharing Service]] · [[wiki/National Data Exchange|National Data Exchange]] · [[wiki/Law Enforcement Analysis Portal|Law Enforcement Analysis Portal]] · [[wiki/Austin Surveillance Evidence Ledger|Austin Surveillance Evidence Ledger]] ## Sources and corpus context - [[research/The Austin Surveillance Field|The Austin Surveillance Field]] - [DHS — Law Enforcement Information Sharing Service briefing, slides 4–16; existing MOUs on slide 15](https://info.publicintelligence.net/DHS-LEISS.pdf) **Cluster:** [[wiki/Austin Surveillance Field|Austin Surveillance Field]] · [[wiki/Austin Executable Loop|Austin Executable Loop]] · [[wiki/Austin Surveillance Evidence Ledger|Austin Surveillance Evidence Ledger]]
