Ed,

That sounds correct, a connection to the FBI.

Again, while at WU, we had model 35 ASR's at state police buildings in large cities.  It was called NCIC I believe.  Nation Crime Information Center maybe.  Used to contact a central hub or maybe another city.

There is a long history of teletypewriter use by police organizations.
ecently photos of TTY equipment in old police operations have been 
ffered on ebay.com  One mention of police service in the Eastern U.S.
s given in a paper "Modern Practices in Private Wire Telegraph Service"
y R. E. Pierce of AT&T, AIEE Transactions, June 1931, p. 426.
Circa 1960 Teletype had a switching system called TASP that I was told
as marketed primarily to police departments.  Some patents describing
his system are 2,625,601 (1953) and 3,251,929 (1966).  It's curious that
eletype offered such a system, since switching arrangements were usually
onsidered to be on Bell Labs' turf.  (Or Western Union, for non-Bell
sers)  Teletype was allowed to do switching work for customers where
t was felt there was no general Bell System market.  Therefore I assume
ASP was marketed to police (and other agencies) that wanted ownership
f the equipment rather than a leased service.
When amateur RTTY first got started in the late 1940s the majority of
eletype machines available to amateurs were Model 12 page printers,
nd most of them seemed to come out of New York.  I remember reading
omewhere that most of them had come out of the New York police 
epartment.  The NYPD had replaced its tty machines out of necessity
hen Teletype quit making maintenance parts for them.
