The MCOLES Annual Registration is a unified process that handles statutorily mandated MCOLES reporting requirements for law enforcement agencies, as well as the voluntary registration for the Law Enforcement Distribution (LED).

Participation in the MCOLES Annual Registration is mandatory for every Michigan law enforcement agency, thus fulfilling the reporting requirements specified in MCL 28.609(d). Within the Annual Registration process, each agency may also elect to voluntarily register for the Law Enforcement Distribution.

The MCOLES Information and Tracking Network (MCOLES Network) must be used to complete the MCOLES Annual Registration.

There are three mandatory components in the MCOLES Annual Registration process. They are:

• agency profile update;
• verification of the agency personnel roster (roster verification); and
• report of hours worked.

The profile identifies the agency head and provides MCOLES with current contact information, such as the agency address and telephone numbers. The roster verification identifies every licensed law enforcement officer employed by the agency during the prior calendar year. The report of hours worked collects the actual hours worked by each law enforcement officer employed by the agency during the reporting period.

LED registration will consist of two steps:

• entering expenditures from the previous year (which consists of the expenditure detail and summary of allocation balances), and
• registering for the new year.
