$NEAKY ............................... After the ACLU sent open records requests as part of its investigative report on police militarization, SWAT teams in Massachusetts claimed they were exempt because they were private corporations. Some SWAT teams in the state operate as law enforcement councils, or LECs, which are funded by several police departments and overseen by an executive board largely made up of local police chiefs. Member police departments pay annual membership dues to the LECs, which share technology and oversee crime scene investigators or other specialists. Some of these LECs have also incorporated 501(c)(3) organizations, which they say exempts them from open records requests.
