Rhode Island Office of Attorney General

The Rhode Island Office of Attorney General purchased Accurint for Law Enforcement subscriptions through the state’s master purchasing agreement, confirmed by the same state purchasing records that document the State Police Fusion Center’s AVCC subscriptions. Three purchase orders are on file, covering the period from July 2022 through June 2024, with the number of licensed users growing from one to five over that period.

Accurint for Law Enforcement is the investigative access version of LexisNexis’s database — it gives licensed users the ability to search comprehensive records on individuals including address history, associates, phone numbers, and vehicle registrations. It is distinct from the AVCC contribution system, though agencies frequently hold both. The expansion from one user to five users between 2022 and 2024 suggests the AG’s office found the tool valuable enough to scale up.

The Rhode Island AG’s office oversees criminal prosecutions across the state, including cases involving immigration and human trafficking. Its use of Accurint for Law Enforcement is notable in that context — this is not patrol-level data access but prosecutorial investigation work. Total spend across the covered period: approximately $9,545.
