- Contributing Agency Agreements
- Signed contracts, Schedule A addenda, and AVCC XML Addendums in which a law enforcement agency formally agrees to contribute data to PSDEX. These contain the specific legal language — irrevocable licenses, data contribution obligations — that confirm an agency is feeding data to LexisNexis. Start here.
- Non-Contributing Agency Agreements
- Documents for agencies that have explicitly opted out or hold read-only access — including "NO DATA CONTRIBUTIONS" addenda and contracts limited to querying only. Important context for understanding who resisted the system and how.
- Public Safety Policies
- Department-level policies on data sharing, surveillance, and LexisNexis use. Useful for identifying agencies whose published policies may conflict with their documented data-sharing behavior — a key signal of sanctuary bypass.
- Audit Records
- Internal records of who accessed PSDEX data and how. Multiple public records requests indicate that agencies cannot audit this once data enters the system — which is why this tab may remain empty.
- City Council Meetings
- City and county council packets, votes, and resolutions approving or discussing LexisNexis contracts. Often the only public record of when and how a jurisdiction entered the PSDEX network.
- Law Enforcement Consortiums
- Documents from AVCC/PSDEX consortium bodies — governance minutes, member-agency joinder agreements, and inter-agency MOUs. Consortiums are regional networks where a lead agency holds the master contract and smaller agencies join through joinder agreements. These records often name member agencies not discoverable any other way.
- Inter-Agency MOUs
- Memoranda of Understanding, joinder agreements, and inter-agency contracts that define the legal structure of data sharing between agencies and consortiums. These establish what flows where and under what terms.
- Integrations with Vendors
- Technical and contractual documentation of how LexisNexis connects to other law enforcement systems — RMS, CAD, VINE, N-DEx. These integrations are the on-ramps: how data leaves local agency systems and enters the PSDEX pipeline.
- State Cooperative Documents
- Statewide cooperative purchasing contracts that let any state government entity procure LexisNexis products without a separate competitive bid. These dramatically expand the number of agencies in the system, often without a local council vote.
- Data Access
- Documents describing who has access to PSDEX data and under what terms — subscriber agreements, access logs, and records identifying which federal, military, or commercial entities are permitted to query the system.

Document version updated 05/13/2026; DocuSign completed 6/2/2026; effective first day of July 2026. Released in Elk Grove PD records request PD-2026-109. CONTRIBUTION OBLIGATION (confirms the El Dorado copy on a current, independently obtained 2026 execution): Sec 1.7: "Member Agency means law enforcement agencies contributing data to CVISS are allowed access to data of other member agencies and other law enforcement agencies." Sec 3.2: "To participate in CVISS, agencies agree to contribute data from their Records Management System (RMS) as defined by the CVISS Consortium." Sec 3.3: same obligation for Jail Management System data where the agency operates a jail. MONEY: connection cost $0. Estimated annual maintenance approximately $17,561, covering LexisNexis Risk Solutions software maintenance plus a contingency fund. Sustainment billing begins July 2026. Cost allocated by each agency's share of authorized sworn FTE, excluding courts and corrections. Prior figure on file for Elk Grove was approximately $15,281 (Jul 2024 council item).

Jones); Bobby Davis, Chief of Police, Elk Grove; Jason Behrmann, City Manager; Jonathan P. Hobbs, City Attorney; Jason Lindgren, City Clerk.
The Austin Regional Intelligence Center's 2024 Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement enumerates the full signed roster of about 25 Central Texas partner agencies in the fusion center whose Accurint Virtual Crime Center access Austin PD procures. The charter does not name LexisNexis; it establishes governance, funding, and a data-sharing framework that authorizes dissemination to federal Information Sharing Environment participants. Obtained via the Austin ISD public records response, which stated the district reaches LexisNexis only through ARIC and that ARIC maintains all access configuration and data. The roster includes three school-district police departments and five university or college police departments.
Full MOU text for San Joaquin County Public Safety Data Exchange Consortium obtained from Lathrop city council agenda packet. Two-tier structure: Participating Agency (contributes RMS/CAD/JMS data) vs Associate Member (read-only). All Participating Agencies must execute LexisNexis Consortium Sub-Agency Addendum. Data explicitly shared with 'other AVCC nodes throughout the United States.' 5-year contract, $517,096 total. Year 1 ($120K) via HSGP grant.
Executed AVCC XML Addendum — Consortium Sub-Agency joining Redlands PD to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office-led AVCC consortium (SBCS-AVCC). Recorded in the Redlands city clerk system as 'Addendum to MOU County LexisNexis Accurint Virtual Crime software' (doc 109A-2023 / 209A-2023, dated 11/7/2023; Laserfiche doc id 666630). NOTABLE FOR WHAT IT OMITS: Unlike the CISC (Colorado) consortium addendum, which lets a member share its Customer Data Contributions only with other consortium agencies and treats sharing into the national PSDEX pool as a separate, initialed, revocable opt-in, this SBCS addendum provides no consortium-only option. An agency that joins contributes to the national Public Safety Data Exchange automatically. This makes SBCS-AVCC the first consortium add-on in the tracker where consortium membership and national contribution are inseparable — a council approving a 'regional data-sharing' MOU is in fact approving national contribution with no toggle to keep it local.
Master Intergovernmental Agreement forming CRISP (Combined Regional Information Systems Project), a shared CAD/RMS/JMS serving Larimer County, CO. Three co-equal Partner agencies (Fort Collins PD, Loveland PD, Larimer County SO) fund and govern the system; ten Member Agencies connect through a Partner with no ownership stake. Vendor at signing was TriTech. $5.3M system cost per contemporaneous Loveland press release.
City of Hawthorne City Council Agenda Bill, Item No. 8, for the meeting of August 22, 2017. Originating department: Police Department. City Manager Arnold Shadbehr, Chief of Police Robert Fager. The item asks the council to let Hawthorne act as contractual hub on behalf of the member cities of the South Bay Regional Public Communications Authority for a collaborative purchase of the LexisNexis Accurint Virtual Crime Center. It is the authorizing document for the six-agency consortium arrangement. Three things it establishes. First, what changed: the cities already held individual Accurint contracts for public records searching, and the new bundle added access to police records, which required a live connection to the region's shared records and dispatch systems. Second, who built that connection: Hawthorne's IT department, partnering with LexisNexis engineers, maintaining it for all cities. Third, the money: $81,955 in the first year, Hawthorne's share $16,031 from its existing ITS budget, a 15 percent discount from LexisNexis for consolidating to one contract, and an administrative fee charged by Hawthorne to the other cities. Hawthorne's prior contract was roughly $12,000 a year for six licenses; the new one gave every sworn officer a login. The bill also records that no public notice was required for the item.
