Grand Valley State University Police

Needs Investigation

Grand Valley State University Police 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.

Under a December 2025 cost-allocation agreement, the university's police department gets access to the Accurint Virtual Crime Center, Accurint for Law Enforcement, and LexisNexis crash and citation reporting through the Sheriff's master contract and reimburses the county for its share, set by its 21 sworn officers at about $3,600 in the first year. The inclusion of a campus police force places university policing inside the same commercial data pipeline as the surrounding municipal agencies.

The agreement governs access and billing, not data contribution. Whether university police records flow into the national Public Safety Data Exchange depends on the Sheriff's master Accurint contract and addendum, which a records request would surface.
