Breckenridge Police Department

Breckenridge is one of Colorado’s most well-known ski resort towns, in Summit County in the central Rockies. Its police department is a CISC member with an enterprise license for LexisNexis’s Accurint Virtual Crime Center, confirmed through the EFF’s Atlas of Surveillance (August 2022).

Breckenridge’s presence in CISC is notable for two reasons. First, it illustrates how the consortium’s enterprise license model works: smaller agencies that could not independently afford an AVCC subscription receive access through the state consortium’s bulk agreement. Second, Breckenridge has a significant seasonal Latino workforce in hospitality and mountain operations — workers who may have interactions with local police that generate records flowing into the PSDEX network.

Colorado’s VALE Act sanctuary protections apply statewide. Summit County has no local sanctuary policy. The CISC data warehouse operates under a private company’s management, outside the reach of state sanctuary law.
