Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office

The Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office (Georgetown, CO) is a confirmed member of the Colorado Information Sharing Consortium (CISC), joining via the standard CISC Member Agency Addendum and Joinder reviewed by LNRS Legal on February 28, 2024, with board approval September 3, 2024.

Clear Creek is a small mountain county of approximately 9,700 residents west of Denver, with 22 sworn deputies. At $25 per sworn officer annually, membership costs the county $550 per fiscal year. CISC has secured grant and state funding covering fixed AVCC program costs through 2030.

The CISC addendum uses a three-option license structure that is the first such variant documented in this project's records. Section (a) automatically authorizes data sharing among CISC member agencies. Section (b) — which would expand sharing to the full national PSDEX network — was NOT initialed by Clear Creek. Section (c), authorizing a de-identified data feed to LexisNexis Community Crime Map third parties, was initialed by Lt. David Straley. This is significant: the contract explicitly describes the CISC Data Warehouse as 'a PSDEX private container database provided by LN,' confirming all CISC member agencies are within LexisNexis infrastructure regardless of whether they initial §b.

Colorado HB 19-1124 prohibits state and local officials from disclosing PII to ICE without a judicial warrant. Clear Creek's data contribution to the CISC Data Warehouse, which sits within LexisNexis's PSDEX infrastructure, creates a structural bypass risk. The addendum contains no audit rights: the agency has no contractual mechanism to verify whether its data remains isolated within the CISC container or is accessible to other PSDEX customers, including federal entities.
