- 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.

The signed CISC Member Agency Addendum and Joinder for Clear Creek County, Colorado, executed February 28, 2024 by Lt. David Straley of the Sheriff's Office. This is the document an agency signs to join the Colorado Information Sharing Consortium's LexisNexis arrangement, and it lays out in detail what a member agency agrees to. By signing, the agency becomes a party to the LexisNexis Master Terms and agrees to contribute its public safety information — its "Customer Data Contribution" (Section II.2) — and grants LexisNexis a paid-up, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive license to use, adapt, aggregate, and distribute that data (Section III.1). The contributed data is held in the "CISC Data Warehouse," which the addendum describes as "a PSDEX private container database provided by LN" — LexisNexis's Public Safety Data Exchange. What makes this document notable is its three-tier sharing structure with initial-to-opt-in boxes — the first time we have seen an agreement that lets an agency initial to choose whether its data leaves the consortium or stays among consortium members. Sharing within CISC member agencies is automatic. Two additional tiers must be opted into by initialing: (b) sharing with PSDEX customers outside the CISC membership — that is, law enforcement agencies nationwide — and (c) sharing a de-identified subset (crime type, date and time, and the area of the incident) with third parties that publish public crime maps. Clear Creek initialed tier (c) ("DWS") but left tier (b) un-initialed. The addendum also incorporates the FBI CJIS Security Policy and Security Addendum (Exhibit A), requires the agency to designate a data-submission contact, and disclaims LexisNexis liability for the accuracy of the data. It is bundled with the underlying 2014 Intergovernmental Agreement that created CISC as a separate legal entity governed by an eleven-member board.
