Confirmed Contributor

The Alaska Department of Public Safety (DPS) is a confirmed contributor to the LexisNexis Accurint Virtual Crime Center (AVCC). In a grant application published through the State of Alaska's Online Public Notices system, DPS stated that its records management system (RMS) data "is fed into LexisNexis Accurint Virtual Crime Center, a database available to law enforcement throughout the country."

The same document shows DPS took on an unusual role: it signed a five-year agreement with LexisNexis and committed to soliciting local law enforcement agencies across Alaska to join and pay for their own AVCC subscriptions. DPS framed AVCC as a way to overcome the barrier of incompatible RMS systems used by agencies throughout the state — effectively positioning the department as a statewide hub for adoption of the LexisNexis platform.

According to the application, the agreement ran through 2023 and DPS expected it to be renewed the following year. Because AVCC pools contributed police data and makes it searchable by law enforcement nationwide — including federal agencies that hold LexisNexis subscriptions — Alaska police records routed through this system become accessible well beyond the state.
