LexisNexis lists the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department as a contributor to the Accurint Virtual Crime Center. The company's own agency profile reads "Contributes to AVCC: Yes," and LexisNexis's public roster carried the same flag as of October 26, 2026. The profile shows two separate feeds. The incident feed, covering June 2011 onward, had uploaded 604,983 records as of June 23, 2026, and withholds only death investigations. The calls-for-service and dispatch feed, covering January 2010 onward, had uploaded 5,540,003 records with no call types withheld. By late October, LexisNexis's count for the incident feed alone had reached 618,230 records, most recently uploaded October 23.
The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office is one of the clearest cases in California of data flowing to LexisNexis on an automated, ongoing basis. The sheriff’s own website states it plainly: ‘The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office contracts with LexisNexis to provide crime reporting, community awareness, and data transparency to the public. The Sheriff’s Office uploads completed crime reports to LexisNexis on a daily basis.’
Beyond the daily crime report upload, Sacramento County SO is believed to be the lead agency for the Central Valley Information Sharing System (CVISS) — a regional network that connects law enforcement agencies across the Sacramento Valley and Central Valley. CVISS originally ran on an IBM software platform called COPLINK, but in 2024 it transitioned to LexisNexis’s Accurint Virtual Crime Center. That transition, confirmed when Elk Grove PD’s City Council voted to approve the change in July 2024, means the participating agencies — originally 13 founding members including Sacramento PD, Placer County SO, and multiple Sacramento-area cities — are now contributing their data to LexisNexis’s PSDEX network.
As the likely lead agency holding the master contract, Sacramento County SO is the hub through which CVISS member agencies’ data flows to LexisNexis. California’s SB54 sanctuary law applies, but it does not restrict data sharing with private companies. A public records request for the full AVCC contract and CVISS member list is a high priority.

Jones (Sacramento) and Sheriff John D'Agostini (El Dorado). This is the financial/participation instrument tied to the CVISS MOU. CRITICAL: it explicitly conditions CVISS participation on contributing data — 'To participate in CVISS, agencies agree to contribute data from their Records Management System (RMS)' (Sec 3.2) and, for jail-operating agencies, 'contribute data from their Jail Management System (JMS)' (Sec 3.3). Identifies LexisNexis Risk Solutions (1000 Alderman Drive, Alpharetta, GA 30005) as owner/developer of AVCC. Cost allocated by share of authorized sworn officers (FTE). El Dorado annual maintenance ≈ $14,140. Includes billing-detail spreadsheet (file C) listing every member agency's authorized sworn count and FY18/19–FY20/21 estimated costs (consortium total ≈ $285,900–$318,007).

Names all 22 Original Member Agencies and contains an individual signature page for each. The MOU is the governance instrument; the companion Cost Share Agreement (separate record) ties participation to AVCC and data contribution.
