A Report of Application and/or Order Authorizing Interception of Communications (State/County/Local) is a legal document issued by a state, county, or local government that allows law enforcement to monitor and intercept communications, such as telephone conversations, emails, and text messages. This document is typically issued when law enforcement has reasonable grounds to believe that they need to monitor communications in order to investigate a crime or prevent a crime from occurring. There are two types of these reports: an Application for Interception of Communications and an Order Authorizing Interception of Communications. The Application is filed by a law enforcement agency with the appropriate court to request permission to intercept communications. The Order is the court's approval of the application, allowing law enforcement to monitor communications. The Order also outlines the terms of the interception, including the time period it is authorized, the type of communications to be monitored, and any other limitations on the interception.
