Accurint Virtual Crime Center

Accurint Virtual Crime Center is an investigative analytics solution from LexisNexis Risk Solutions, part of the RELX group, designed for law enforcement agencies that need to connect information held across many separate systems. Police departments typically maintain records management systems, computer-aided dispatch logs, licence plate reader data, field interviews and other sources that are rarely integrated, making it difficult for investigators to recognise links between people, vehicles, addresses and incidents. Accurint Virtual Crime Center addresses this by aggregating agency data, combining it with LexisNexis public records and applying automated data linking and analytics. Its core approach is to create a comprehensive, searchable view of identities and associations, enabling investigators and analysts to generate leads faster and understand crime patterns across jurisdictions.

Key capabilities include federated search across disparate data sources, link analysis and relationship visualisation, crime mapping and hotspot analysis, and alerting when new information matches persons or items of interest. The solution supports data sharing between participating agencies, which helps investigators identify offenders who operate across municipal, county or state boundaries. Integration with LexisNexis identity data enriches local records with addresses, phone numbers, associates and other public information, subject to legal and policy controls. Dashboards and reporting tools support intelligence-led policing, command staff briefings and resource deployment decisions. The platform is delivered as a hosted service, reducing the need for agencies to maintain their own analytics infrastructure, and access is governed by role-based permissions and audit logging appropriate for criminal justice information. Typical users include municipal police departments, sheriffs’ offices, state agencies, fusion centres and regional task forces seeking to improve investigative efficiency and collaboration.
