Confirmed ContributorSanctuary BypassJail Booking Feed

The Tukwila Police Department, a small agency serving about 20,000 residents south of Seattle, is a confirmed PSDEX contributor. A signed contract in the agency’s public records confirms participation in the Accurint Virtual Crime Center and includes access to Jail Booking Search — meaning Tukwila’s booking data flows to LexisNexis alongside its crime records.

Tukwila’s significance is its size. Like Lathrop, California — a city of about 28,000 also confirmed as a PSDEX contributor — Tukwila demonstrates that the PSDEX network reaches small community agencies, not just large urban departments. The LexisNexis account manager on the Tukwila contract is Elizabeth Marshall, covering the Pacific Northwest region. Her client list is a potential route to identifying other Washington State PSDEX participants.

Washington State has the Keep Washington Working Act, which limits cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. Tukwila’s PSDEX contribution — including jail booking data — routes around those protections through the LexisNexis intermediary.
