The North East Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council (NEMLEC) consists of member police departments in forty-five cities and towns in Essex County and Middlesex County. Each participating department provides manpower that forms the nucleus of the Regional Response Team (RRT) and its specialized sister organization, the Special Weapons and Tactics unit (SWAT) along with specialized units investigating cyber crime, advanced accident reconstruction and a NEMLEC detective information sharing project. A large-scale endeavor of NEMLEC is the School Threat Assessment and Response System (STARS) that provides specialized resources to the Town in the event of violence-induced school emergencies.
