Agency record
Baltimore Police Department
MD · 585,708 residents
The Baltimore Police Department has been using LexisNexis’s Desk Officer Reporting System (DORS) since 2012 to allow residents to file non-emergency crime reports online, 24 hours a day. The system automatically routes those reports into BPD’s records management system.
DORS is a product of LexisNexis Coplogic Solutions. When a resident files a report through the BPD portal, that report — including details about the incident, the person filing it, and any witnesses or other parties — flows through LexisNexis infrastructure before landing in BPD’s system. By 2022, BPD was receiving over 5,300 online reports annually through this system and had saved an estimated $268,600 in officer time.
Whether BPD also uses LexisNexis for investigative data access (Accurint for Law Enforcement) or is a PSDEX data contributor (AVCC/PSDEX) has not yet been confirmed. A public records request is warranted.
