Article 1. General of California Government Code >> Division 3. >> Title 2. >> Part 6. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 1.
The California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System
shall be operated by the Department of Justice.
The system shall be used exclusively for the official

city and county, or other public agency.
The charges for transmitting messages over the system shall
be fixed pursuant to Section 13240.
The department shall file with the Controller a monthly
report of all money received for the use of the system, and at the
same time deposit all such money with the Treasurer.
All sums so deposited shall be credited by the Controller to
the appropriation for the support of the department from which the
cost of such teletype services were paid, and shall be used by the
department for the same purposes for which the appropriation was
made.
This chapter does not prohibit the use of the State's

connection is made to the State's Teletype System at or within the
boundaries of this State and when the messages transmitted relate to
the enforcement of the criminal laws.
The Attorney General may lease facilities and equipment for
the purpose of connecting the State's Teletypewriter System with any
county, city, or district, if the county, city, or district pays the
installation and maintenance costs.
