Law Enforcement & Public Safety

ARIN works closely with law enforcement and public safety organizations to help them better understand how the Internet registry system works and how our services and tools may be able to help them accomplish their mission. Some of the ways ARIN supports law enforcement include information sharing, the provision of Whois and its publicly available registration data, case support, and capacity building and training.
