Claim:
A method comprising: receiving, by a device, signaling information to establish a connection between a first endpoint and a second endpoint; establishing, by the device, the connection between the first endpoint and the second endpoint based on the signaling information; determining, by the device, whether the first endpoint and the second endpoint are located in a same location based on the signaling information; determining, by the device and based on information associated with at least one of the first endpoint or the second endpoint, that media exchanged between the first endpoint and the second endpoint is required to be diverted to a different device associated with a law enforcement agency when the first endpoint and the second endpoint are not located in the same location; and anchoring, by the device, the media to a tap associated with the law enforcement agency after determining that the media exchanged between the first endpoint and the second endpoint is required to be diverted to the different device associated with the law enforcement agency, the anchoring of the media to the tap allowing the law enforcement agency to monitor the media.
