Agency record
Salem Police Department
OR · 175,535 residents
Salem, Oregon’s police department began using LexisNexis’s Desk Officer Reporting System (DORS) in late 2024, replacing an in-house system it had built itself. The city paid LexisNexis $21,300 for the technology.
DORS allows Salem residents to file police reports online at any time, from any device. Reports are routed through LexisNexis infrastructure before being reviewed by Salem PD staff. The previous in-house system had significant limitations; the new LexisNexis system allows photo and evidence uploads and reduces calls to the city’s dispatch center.
Salem is the state capital of Oregon, which has one of the oldest sanctuary laws in the country (ORS 181A.820, in effect since 1987). Whether Salem PD’s DORS relationship with LexisNexis extends to investigative database access (Accurint) or data contribution (AVCC/PSDEX) is not yet known.
