Cape Coral Police Department

The Cape Coral Police Department contributes local police data to LexisNexis's Public Safety Data Exchange (PSDEX) through the Accurint Virtual Crime Center. Cape Coral accesses the platform as a sub-agency under a Florida statewide contract managed by the Miami Beach Police Department, which serves as the state's Lead Contract Agency for AVCC. Cape Coral's status as a data contributor is documented in a September 2020 City of Fort Myers council agenda, which named Cape Coral PD and the Lee County Sheriff's Office as Florida agencies already providing data to LexisNexis. Florida has no sanctuary law — the state's SB 168 (2019) prohibits local sanctuary policies — so unlike agencies in sanctuary jurisdictions, Cape Coral's participation does not bypass a local legal protection. The investigative significance is instead the routine, automated flow of a Florida municipal police department's records into a private database accessible to federal agencies. A public records request for the technical specifications of that data feed was filed in May 2026.
