Needs Investigation

The Avondale Police Department in Arizona responded to a MuckRock public records request with documents confirming a LexisNexis contract: a base agreement (Contract 13525C, described as ‘Accurint dba LexisNexis APPLICATION AND AGREEMENT’), annual amendments running from 2018 through 2021, renewal letters from 2023 and 2024, and a separate addendum identified as Addendum 19-077C.

The base contract and annual amendments confirm a long-running investigative access relationship. But Addendum 19-077C is the document that could determine whether Avondale is a PSDEX contributor. Comparable addendum documents from other agencies — most clearly, Clear Creek County, Colorado — contain a Section II titled ‘Public Safety Data Exchange Database’ with explicit PSDEX contribution obligations. If Avondale’s 19-077C contains the same section, its status should be upgraded to Confirmed Contributor.

Avondale is a city of about 80,000 people in the western Phoenix metro, in Maricopa County. The MuckRock FOIA documents have been returned; retrieving Addendum 19-077C from the case file and checking its Section II language is the immediate next step.
