Clearwater Police Department

The Clearwater Police Department in Florida uses LexisNexis’s Accurint Virtual Crime Center, confirmed through the EFF’s Atlas of Surveillance. Clearwater is a city of about 120,000 residents in Pinellas County, on Florida’s Gulf Coast across the bay from Tampa.

Clearwater’s AVCC confirmation adds a third LexisNexis data point to the Tampa Bay area. Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office (across the bay) uses DORS, and Tampa PD uses Community Crime Map. Clearwater PD’s AVCC use — in adjacent Pinellas County — suggests LexisNexis has strong penetration across the broader Tampa Bay region.

Florida prohibits sanctuary policies. Clearwater PD’s AVCC subscription suggests it is at minimum accessing PSDEX data from other agencies. Whether Clearwater also has a data contribution agreement — meaning its crime records flow into PSDEX — has not been confirmed at the contract level.
