Chicago Police Department

The Chicago Police Department does not appear to use any LexisNexis products directly. CPD manages its own crash report portal, uses its own open data platform for crime statistics, and ended its ShotSpotter contract in 2023. No Community Crime Map, AVCC, PSDEX, or Accurint contract has been found for CPD specifically.

The significant data story involving Chicago runs through a different agency: the Cook County Sheriff’s Office, which runs the Cook County Jail. When CPD arrests someone who is detained, that person enters the Cook County jail system. The jail’s Appriss VINE contract — confirmed to contain a ‘Risk Solutions’ clause allowing Appriss to share real-time booking data with LexisNexis — means that CPD arrest data reaches LexisNexis through the detention step, not through CPD itself.

The result is that Chicago’s sanctuary protections — the Illinois TRUST Act and the city’s own Welcoming City Ordinance — apply to what CPD can do directly. They don’t apply to what Appriss can do with data it receives from the jail under a service contract. The indirect pipeline is confirmed. A public records request targeting CPD directly for any LexisNexis contracts would be worth filing to close out the direct question.
