Indiana State Police has a statewide contract with LexisNexis Risk Solutions for ARIES — the Automated Reporting Information Exchange System — which is Indiana’s crash reporting platform for all state and local law enforcement. Indiana’s own Criminal Justice Institute describes the relationship plainly: ‘As part of its contract with Indiana State Police, LexisNexis Risk Solutions provides ARIES to state and local governments free of charge and charges a small fee for crash records and research requests.’
An Indiana Public Access Counselor opinion (17-FC-202) adds a critical legal detail: the ARIES agreement makes LexisNexis the custodian of information that ISP owns. LexisNexis is not just a vendor; it is the legal data custodian for every Indiana law enforcement crash report submitted through the system.
ISP is also named as a BuyCrash customer on LexisNexis marketing materials, confirming the public-facing crash report distribution side of the same platform. The open question is whether the ARIES contract includes PSDEX data contribution language — which would mean Indiana crash data feeds the national investigative database. A FOIA for the full ISP/ARIES contract is a high priority.
