The maintenance of law and order is, and always has been, a primary function of government and is so recognized in both federal and state constitutions. The state has an unmistakable responsibility to give full support to all public agencies of the criminal justice system. This responsibility includes the provision of an efficient law enforcement information system available to all state and local agencies. It is the intent of the legislature that such a system be established and maintained in a condition adequate to the needs of public safety and security. It is the purpose of this chapter to establish a public safety and security information system, known as "ILETS," for the state of Idaho.
