Rhode Island State Police (RISP) Fusion Center

The Rhode Island State Police Fusion Center is a confirmed subscriber to LexisNexis’s Accurint Virtual Crime Center, confirmed through state purchasing records obtained via public records request. The State of Rhode Island’s MPA 280 release activity report shows the Department of Public Safety — which houses the Fusion Center — paid $33,527 for ‘AVCC-ACCURINT TRAX SERVICE FOR VIRTUAL CRIME CENTER CHARGES FOR RISP FUSION CENTER’ across fiscal years 2022 through 2024. The RISP Fusion Center is explicitly named in the purchase order descriptions.

Two products are confirmed: the Accurint Virtual Crime Center (AVCC) subscription itself, and TraX — a call detail record analysis tool bundled with AVCC that lets analysts map phone call networks and identify patterns of communication between individuals. TraX goes significantly beyond basic records lookup; it is an analytical tool for building investigation profiles from telecommunications data.

Rhode Island is a small state with a notably concentrated law enforcement structure. The state police fusion center functions as the hub for intelligence sharing across the state’s agencies. Whether the fusion center is also a PSDEX data contributor — meaning Rhode Island law enforcement data flows out into the national database — has not been confirmed at the contract level, but AVCC subscribers are frequently contributors.
