New Haven Police Department

The New Haven Police Department uses a LexisNexis product for civilian police report requests, confirmed through the city’s official website, which directs the public to ‘LexisNexis® Request A Report’ for police report copies — noting explicitly that the system ‘is not owned/operated by the City of New Haven.’ This appears to be LexisNexis Coplogic — the civilian report purchasing and distribution product.

New Haven has a longstanding sanctuary policy, predating many other Connecticut cities. It is Connecticut’s second-largest city and home to Yale University, with a significant immigrant population including undocumented residents. The fact that New Haven directs civilian report requests through a LexisNexis platform means that report data — including the names and addresses of civilians filing reports, and details of the incidents being reported — flows through LexisNexis infrastructure.

This is a Coplogic-type product, not AVCC or PSDEX. Whether New Haven PD has any additional LexisNexis relationship — including a PSDEX contribution agreement — has not been confirmed. Connecticut’s FOI Act (CGS § 1-200) requires a four-business-day response.
