The focus of the Office of Law Enforcement Technology Commercialization's (OLETC) efforts is providing assistance to our clients through the defined priorities of the nationally developed Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Advisory Council (LECTAC). Coupled with a requirements definition from the National Institute of Justice, OLETC seeks new and emerging technologies with applications to these national priorities.

Since the events of September 11, 2001, OLETC has greatly expanded our commercialization efforts to include public safety such as firefighting. We assist numerous technologists and entrepreneurs in commercializing their technologies, bringing the total to 27 technologies within the past five years. Over 100 technologists and entrepreneurs are receiving assistance from OLETC at this time.

OLETC's commercialization successes are lifesaving technologies and are the direct result of OLETC’s ongoing commitment to its mission: a mission of assisting in providing law enforcement and corrections professionals with a safe and more effective environment in which to conduct their daily operations.

Since 1997, many technologies ranging from officer protection, homeland defense, biometrics, interoperability, and others have been commercialized with OLETC's assistance.

The OLETC program and our successes are made possible through the support of Congressman Alan B. Mollohan (D-W.Va.) and his unwavering commitment to law enforcement and corrections professionals and in bringing economic prosperity to West Virginia.
