Miami Beach Police Department

Confirmed Contributor

Miami Beach Police Department does not just participate in LexisNexis's Accurint Virtual Crime Center — it runs it for the entire state of Florida. MBPD is the Lead Contract Agency (LCA), a designation assigned by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Every other Florida law enforcement agency that joins the network does so by signing an interagency agreement with Miami Beach PD, not directly with LexisNexis.

This is confirmed by contract, not inference. The AVCC Florida Addendum states: 'The Miami Beach Police Department has been designated as the LCA by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for the LexisNexis Accurint Virtual Crime Center (AVCC) and will assume responsibility for ensuring compliance with the FBI Criminal Justice Information Services Security Policy for each Florida Customer Agency using AVCC.'

As of the document date, 46 Florida agencies participate in the network, including every major urban police department and sheriff's office in the state. The full list was obtained via public records and includes Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Hialeah, Miami Gardens, Miramar, Orlando, Palm Beach County Sheriff, Tallahassee, and the Orange County Public Schools District Police, among others.

The Florida addendum contains a key structural difference from the national PSDEX model: access to data contributed by Florida agencies is limited to other Florida agencies — not the full national PSDEX pool. LexisNexis, however, retains a 'paid up, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive license' to use, adapt, compile, and create derivative works from all contributed data. A de-identified subset also flows to the LexisNexis Community Crime Map, which is publicly accessible.

A second FOIA filed May 21, 2026 asks MBPD to identify which systems (CAD, RMS, jail booking) contribute to the network; whether 911 caller, victim, and witness data is included in the automated feed; and whether MBPD can audit other agencies' access to its contributed data.
