Durham Police Department

The Durham Police Department in North Carolina has used LexisNexis’s Community Crime Map since at least mid-2018, confirmed through the city’s official crime statistics page and a 2018 departmental quarterly report. Durham’s CCM page describes it as a tool to ‘get crime stats in specific locations across the U.S. and locally,’ listing it alongside the department’s own citizen-facing reporting portal.

Durham has a longer history with LexisNexis data tools than the CCM alone suggests. A Duke University Law Library blog post from 2010 documented that Durham — alongside Raleigh — was an early participant in RAIDS Online, a crime mapping platform that was later acquired by BAIR Analytics, itself a LexisNexis subsidiary. The transition from RAIDS Online to Community Crime Map likely happened sometime between 2015 and 2018, meaning Durham has had a continuous LexisNexis crime data relationship for roughly 15 years.

North Carolina has no statewide sanctuary law — state law (HB 370) actually prohibits sanctuary designations, meaning there are no legal barriers to Durham police data reaching federal agencies. Whether Durham has a PSDEX contribution agreement on top of its CCM relationship is unconfirmed.
