Accurate Phone Number Information is Vital to Criminal Investigations
Bridgewater - New Jersey, July 09, 2026
Every investigation hinges on accurate data. When time is critical and a subpoena needs to be issued, your agency can't afford to rely on a public source that may be outdated or incomplete.
As the Local Number Portability Administrator (LNPA) for the United States' Number Portability Administration Center (NPAC) since 2018, iconectiv is the authoritative source for which service provider owns a telephone number.
Through the Enhanced Law Enforcement Platform (ELEP), this critical information is made available exclusively to authorized law enforcement and public safety personnel via secure, web-based access. ELEP allows up to 100 queries per request, returning information such as the carrier’s name, law enforcement support contact details, and porting history dating back to 2004. It also gives your agency the ability to query non-ported numbers and conduct bulk searches.
Public sources may intend to show which carrier owns a telephone number today – but they do not accurately reflect numbers that have been ported and, for a criminal investigation, the current carrier is rarely enough. Law enforcement needs to know the carrier of record for that number at a specific date and time for their investigation. Without that, you risk serving a subpoena to the wrong carrier, causing costly delays and potentially jeopardizing your case. That’s why many law enforcement and public safety agencies across the country trust iconectiv and use our services.
Plans start as low as $200 per year, making ELEP one of the most cost-effective tools your agency can add to its investigative arsenal.
Accurate data is a must! For more information on how to get started with the ELEP service, please visit Law Enforcement Number Portability for details.
