Agency record
Ramsey County Sheriff's Office
MN · County Sheriff · 551,748 residents
The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office in Minnesota uses LexisNexis’s Community Crime Map and shares that data feed with seven municipalities it serves under contract: Arden Hills, Falcon Heights, Little Canada, North Oaks, Shoreview, Vadnais Heights, and White Bear Township. The sheriff’s own website states the office ‘has partnered with LexisNexis to share calls for service information via the website Community Crime Map.’
The multi-municipality reach is notable. When a county sheriff uses CCM and serves as a policing contractor for smaller cities, a single LexisNexis agreement generates data flows from multiple jurisdictions. Vadnais Heights confirms this independently — the city’s website attributes its crime map data to the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office, which in turn feeds it through LexisNexis.
Ramsey County includes St. Paul, Minnesota’s capital. Ramsey County was among the Minnesota counties that complied with fewer than 10% of ICE detainer requests. Minnesota became a sanctuary state in May 2025. Whether Ramsey County SO has a PSDEX data contribution agreement on top of its CCM relationship has not been confirmed.

Email chain dated January 7, 2026, released by the Duluth Police Department. Alyssa Baumann, Duluth PD's senior crime and intelligence analyst, asked LexisNexis for a summary of services ahead of a city council presentation on the department's Accurint Virtual Crime Center and TraX subscriptions. Jeremy Bringle, a LexisNexis Risk Solutions strategic account manager, replied within minutes with marketing copy and four attachments, among them a Word document headed 'Minnesota Agencies Contributing Data to AVCC' listing 72 Minnesota law enforcement agencies by name. The bundle also contains the AVCC product brochure and the Accurint TraX brochure. Bringle's covering line describes the roster as the agencies whose data Duluth can see through AVCC, while the attachment itself is headed as a list of contributors. The 72 named agencies span the Twin Cities metro, central Minnesota, and two outliers in St. Louis County. Duluth PD, the recipient, is not on the list, and is separately documented as having signed the non-contributory variant of the AVCC XML Addendum.
