Ramsey County Sheriff's Office

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.
