Agency record
Columbia Police Department
SC · 144,186 residents
Columbia is the capital of South Carolina and confirmed a LexisNexis Community Crime Map user since at least October 2017, when the Columbia Police Department’s blog described CCM as ‘a nifty link to a LexisNexis Community Crime Map – an interactive look at crimes committed in a geographic area.’ The tool was described as allowing views ranging from a single street up to the entire Midlands region.
CCM requires an automated feed of crime incident data from Columbia PD’s records management system to LexisNexis. That feed has been running for at least eight years. Whether Columbia PD has also signed a PSDEX data contribution agreement — which would make its crime records searchable by other agencies nationwide, including federal ones — is not confirmed at the contract level.
South Carolina has no sanctuary policies. A 2024 state law (HB 4373) further reinforced that agencies must cooperate with federal immigration requests, meaning Columbia PD data accessible through LexisNexis faces no legal barriers to reaching ICE.
