The Duluth Police Department subscribes to the LexisNexis Accurint Virtual Crime Center as a read-only user. A signed 2020 agreement, executed through DocuSign, contains the "NO DATA CONTRIBUTIONS TO PSDEX" version of the AVCC XML Addendum. That version omits the data-contribution obligation and the irrevocable license found in the standard form.
The 2022 renewal package, dated December 22, 2022, contains the standard version of the AVCC XML Addendum, which includes the Section I.2 obligation to contribute data and the Section II.1 irrevocable, worldwide license. The publicly available copy of that package is unsigned, with the originating agency identifier left blank and the third-party data election uninitialed.
At the January 2026 council meeting, Police Chief Ceynowa told the council that the department does not upload its data to LexisNexis, has no interface to do so, and only draws data out.
The signed 2020 addendum corroborates the chief's account for the original contract term. Whether the 2022 renewal was executed with contributor terms or the no-contribution variant remains outside the public record.

Email chain dated January 7, 2026, released by the Duluth Police Department. Alyssa Baumann, Duluth PD's senior crime and intelligence analyst, asked LexisNexis for a summary of services ahead of a city council presentation on the department's Accurint Virtual Crime Center and TraX subscriptions. Jeremy Bringle, a LexisNexis Risk Solutions strategic account manager, replied within minutes with marketing copy and four attachments, among them a Word document headed 'Minnesota Agencies Contributing Data to AVCC' listing 72 Minnesota law enforcement agencies by name. The bundle also contains the AVCC product brochure and the Accurint TraX brochure. Bringle's covering line describes the roster as the agencies whose data Duluth can see through AVCC, while the attachment itself is headed as a list of contributors. The 72 named agencies span the Twin Cities metro, central Minnesota, and two outliers in St. Louis County. Duluth PD, the recipient, is not on the list, and is separately documented as having signed the non-contributory variant of the AVCC XML Addendum.
