Tallahassee Police Department

The Tallahassee Police Department is listed in the EFF’s Atlas of Surveillance as an Accurint Virtual Crime Center user, and the Atlas attributes that finding to the Miami Beach Police Department as its source — with a date of March 2024. That date aligns with a MuckRock FOIA response from Miami Beach PD that established Miami Beach as ‘the Lead Contract Agency in Florida for the LexisNexis Accurint Virtual Crime Center.’

The implication: Tallahassee PD may appear in Miami Beach PD’s sub-agency list — the interagency agreements it has executed on behalf of the state. If so, Tallahassee is a PSDEX contributor through the statewide Florida arrangement, not through a standalone contract of its own.

Tallahassee is Florida’s capital city, with about 200,000 residents in Leon County. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement — also based in Tallahassee — is another likely Florida AVCC participant worth investigating separately. Florida prohibits sanctuary policies by state law (SB 168, 2019). A public records request to Miami Beach PD for its full list of interagency agreements would resolve Tallahassee’s status in one filing.
