Ensuring access to law enforcement tools and products is a cornerstone of the partnership between the Department of Homeland Security and this nation's state, local, tribal, territorial, and campus (SLTTC) law enforcement.
The service, sacrifice, and commitment of law enforcement to the safety and resilience of communities, especially in the face of new and evolving threats, represents the very best of our great nation. The Department of Homeland Security is extraordinarily proud to support and collaborate with law enforcement to help keep communities safe.
DHS is committed to ensuring every law enforcement agency - regardless of size, funding, or resources - has the tools and support necessary to carry out the work that is essential to maintaining our security. This searchable Law Enforcement Resource library highlights many of the Department's resources that are available to you, including training, grant funding opportunities, task forces, research and development, and field support, among others.

Swatting Awareness for Law Enforcement
With the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Federal Protective Service, Major County Sheriffs of America, and many of our state and local law enforcement partners, OSLLE developed a series of swatting awareness videos for law enforcement. Swatting is a malicious act where individuals make false emergency calls to police or other emergency services, falsely reporting a severe, ongoing crisis at a specific location. This is increasingly impacting emergency services and helplines with the goal of provoking a significant law enforcement response. This video series provides awareness around this critical issue and strategies and resources to address it. The first video is currently available for law enforcement through OSLLE, and additional videos in the series will be available upon completion. If law enforcement is interested, please email OSLLE@hq.dhs.gov.
