Agency record
Austin Police Department
TX · Municipal Police
The Austin Police Department hosts the Austin Regional Intelligence Center, the Central Texas fusion center, and procures and manages the center's Accurint Virtual Crime Center deployment under a 2023 cooperative contract with LexisNexis worth up to $1.8 million over five years. The same deployment serves five partner agencies. As the agency running the platform for the consortium, Austin PD sits at the center of a regional data-sharing arrangement that is a strong signal of contribution to the LexisNexis Public Safety Data Exchange. The executed contribution addendum is not yet in the public record.
Update, July 2026: The University of Texas at Austin Police Department's executed consortium sub-agency addendum, obtained by FinePrint, names the City of Austin/Austin Police Department as the Consortium Lead Agency on the LexisNexis agreement — the first executed member-level contribution addendum from the ARIC deployment to reach the public record.
Update, October 2026: Austin released the executed master contract itself in response to a FinePrint records request. Contract MA 8700 NC230000057, signed May 2023, pays LexisNexis up to $320,550 for the first year with four optional one-year extensions and a 5 percent annual cap. The contract lists an "AVCC/ACA/CCM Addendum" as Exhibit E, incorporated into the agreement. The city did not produce it. Of the eight documents the contract says it is made of, the city released three: the base contract, its own cooperative terms, and a printout of LexisNexis's generic web terms. The data-sharing addendum, the Schedule A order form and the negotiated master terms are all missing from the release.

The Austin Regional Intelligence Center's 2024 Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement enumerates the full signed roster of about 25 Central Texas partner agencies in the fusion center whose Accurint Virtual Crime Center access Austin PD procures. The charter does not name LexisNexis; it establishes governance, funding, and a data-sharing framework that authorizes dissemination to federal Information Sharing Environment participants. Obtained via the Austin ISD public records response, which stated the district reaches LexisNexis only through ARIC and that ARIC maintains all access configuration and data. The roster includes three school-district police departments and five university or college police departments.
