Synopsis 

LPS is a public school district serving 

Liberty, Missouri, a city of 

approximately 30,000 that is part of 

Kansas City, Missouri, and parts of 

unincorporated Clay County, Missouri. 

LPS employs a staff of 1300 that 

provides education and services for 

9300 students, with facilities and 

operations spanning a land area of 

approximately 30 square miles. 

According to LPS, the school district 

provides some of its own security and 

telecommunications services. Over the 

course of a year, LPS reports receiving 

between 6 and 10 threatening or 

harassing phone calls that are 

considered serious in nature. LPS states 

that the telecommunications carriers 

serving LPS are bound by the CPN 

privacy rules, and parties placing 

threatening or harassing calls often use 

the CPN privacy indicator to prevent 

authorities from identifying them or 

their location. As a result, LPS security 

personnel must request a trace of 

threatening or harassing calls to attempt 

to identify and locate the caller, a 

process that can take up to a week. LPS 

emphasizes that security personnel need 

to be able to identify and locate callers 

in a timelier manner to have a chance 

of apprehending them or preventing 

them from acting on their threats. 

According to LPS, its 

telecommunications assets include a 

Central Office Switch facility with a call 

information data log capable of 

recording all originating and 

terminating numbers. Currently, 

telecommunications carriers will not 

transmit restricted CPNs to LPS, and 

security and other personnel are 

therefore prevented from identifying 

and locating harassing or threatening 

callers in a timely manner. 

LPS states that it will limit access to 

restricted CPN information by: (1) 

Operating the switch in a secure facility; 

(2) allowing telecommunications and 

security personnel to access restricted 

CPN data only when investigating 

threatening or harassing calls and 

documenting the access as part of the 

investigative report; (3) allowing 

transmission of restricted CPN 

information from LPS to other law 

enforcement agencies only through 

secure communications; and (4) 

destroying CPN data after a reasonable 

retention period. LPS argues that the 

waiver would serve the public interest 

because it would allow LPS to better 

protect its staff and students by 

providing rapid responses to threatening 

or harassing calls. LPS further argues 

that its situation presents special 

circumstances that warrant a limited 

waiver of the rules. First, LPS provides 

both the security service and end office 

telecommunications to all locations 

within its geographical boundaries. 

Also, the waiver would be applicable 

only to a narrow and well-defined 

public institution making it predictable, 

workable and not subject to 

discriminatory application.
