Needs Investigation

The Grand Haven Department of Public Safety is a participating member of a five-agency western Michigan consortium that pays for the LexisNexis Accurint Virtual Crime Center through the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office.

The department's own director laid out the arrangement in a December 2025 memo: Grand Haven already uses LexisNexis but does not hold the contract, which sits entirely with the Sheriff's Office. Through a cost-allocation agreement, Grand Haven keeps access to the Accurint Virtual Crime Center and LexisNexis crash and citation reporting and reimburses the county for its share, set by its 33 sworn officers at about $5,700 in the first year.

The agreement covers access and billing, not data contribution. Whether Grand Haven's records reach the national Public Safety Data Exchange depends on the Sheriff's master Accurint contract and its addendum, which a records request would surface.
