Agency record

Elk Grove Police Department

CA · Municipal Police · 176,019 residents

Confirmed Contributor

The Elk Grove Police Department contributes to LexisNexis's Public Safety Data Exchange through the Central Valley Information Sharing System, a 22-agency Sacramento-area consortium that buys Accurint Virtual Crime Center access through the county Sheriff as fiscal agent. Records the department released in September 2026 put numbers on what that means.

A screenshot from inside AVCC's "LE Data Coverage" page shows two lines for Elk Grove: "Contributes to Community Crime Map: Yes" and "Contributes to AVCC: Yes." Below them, the volumes. 118,042 incident records, with a contributed date range beginning January 19, 1977. Another 1,137,147 calls for service and dispatch records going back to 2013. Both feeds last uploaded on July 12, 2026. That is 1,255,189 records from a city of 176,019 people.

The same page lists the exceptions. Elk Grove withholds attempted homicide from the incident feed, and parking complaints, noise complaints, harassment, fraud and forgery, vehicle burglary, recovered property and fatal accidents from the dispatch feed. Everything else goes.

The obligation is contractual. The CVISS cost share agreement Elk Grove renewed effective July 1, 2026 makes it a condition of membership: "To participate in CVISS, agencies agree to contribute data from their Records Management System (RMS) as defined by the CVISS Consortium." Section 1.7 defines a Member Agency as one "contributing data to CVISS." Elk Grove pays roughly $17,561 a year for its share.

The department's LexisNexis relationship runs wider than the consortium. It licenses the Desk Officer Reporting System for $8,252.40 a year, an arrangement that requires Elk Grove to grant LexisNexis VPN access to its records management system. It runs LexisNexis eCrash at a stated fee of $0.00, in exchange for which LexisNexis holds "the sole and exclusive right to sell the Agency's crash Reports online." Elk Grove takes no share of that revenue. In April 2026 the chief signed a 60-day free trial of Accurint TraX, a device geolocation product, including a feature LexisNexis markets as a virtual pen register. A fifth contract, for Lexis+ AI, is billed to the department's asset forfeiture account.

California's sanctuary law, SB 54, applies to Elk Grove. Whether federal immigration authorities have queried Elk Grove records through LexisNexis is not established by any document FinePrint holds.

AVCC "LE Data Coverage" Screenshot — Elk Grove PD Contribution Totals (Jul 2026)2026/07

Screenshot of the "LE Data Coverage" page inside the LexisNexis Accurint Virtual Crime Center, showing Elk Grove PD's contribution status and volumes. Released in Elk Grove PD records request PD-2026-109 (downloaded 2026-09-10). PLATFORM-SIDE CONFIRMATION OF CONTRIBUTION. The page states "Contributes to Community Crime Map: Yes" and "Contributes to AVCC: Yes" for Elk Grove Police Department. EVENTS (RMS): 118,042 records uploaded. Contributed date range Jan 19, 1977 to Jul 11, 2026. Last upload Jul 12, 2026. Types Not Submitted by Agency: Attempted Homicide. CFS/CAD: 1,137,147 records uploaded. Contributed date range Jan 01, 2013 to Jul 12, 2026. Last upload Jul 12, 2026. Types Not Submitted by Agency: Accident - Fatality, Burglary of Vehicle, Fraud/Forgery, Harassment, Noise Complaint, Parking Complaint, Recovered Property. Combined total 1,255,189 records against a served population of 176,019 (approx. 7.1 records per resident). Left nav confirms AVCC module list: TraX (Device Geolocation and Analytics), Past Announcements, Archive Announcements, Snapshot Manager/Downloads, LE Person Alerts Manager, Data Download Manager, Project Manager, Report Manager, Tag Manager, LE Data Coverage, Contact Us. STRUCTURAL SIGNIFICANCE: "LE Data Coverage" is standing AVCC interface, not a bespoke report. A per-agency coverage page therefore exists for every AVCC subscriber, disclosing contribution status, record volumes, date ranges and excluded categories. This is a repeatable FOIA route that does not require prying loose the AVCC XML Addendum.

Elk Grove PD — Accurint TraX Free Trial Schedule A with VIPER (C-26-174, Apr 2026)2026/04

Customized Schedule A (Free Trial) for Accurint TraX, between LexisNexis Risk Solutions FL Inc. and "CITY OF ELK GROVE POLICE DEPARTMENT CALIFORNIA". Released in Elk Grove PD records request PD-2026-109. TERMS: 60-day free trial from account activation. All charges waived. Premium feature included: VIPER. Offer valid only if signed and received by LN on or before April 6, 2026. Billgroup #: ACC-1299031. LN Account Manager: Mark Staniak (not previously in the LN People table). Signed for LN by Haywood Talcove, CEO (LNSSI), 04/03/2026. Signed for Elk Grove by Bobby Davis, Chief of Police; also City Attorney Jonathan P. Hobbs and City Clerk Jason Lindgren. Signature timestamps run 4/3/2026 to 4/6/2026, closing on the final day of the offer window. WHAT THE PRODUCT IS: Accurint TraX is device geolocation and call detail record analysis. The AVCC left nav in the same production labels it "TraX (Device Geolocation and Analytics)". LexisNexis markets the VIPER feature as a "Virtual Pen Register Solution for ALL Law Enforcement Agencies" delivering intercepts in real time (vendor marketing, cited for product description only, not as evidence of use). PROCUREMENT SIGNIFICANCE: a $0 instrument generally falls below thresholds that trigger a council vote, so a real-time intercept capability entered the department without a public appropriation decision.
