LexisNexis Risk Solutions has created an Advisory Committee to advise on policy and governance of its Public Safety Data Exchange (PSDEX) data, helping to ensure adherence to federal Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS), state and local standards for security and privacy of law enforcement-provided data.
The PSDEX Advisory Committee members also bring their considerable experience in government positions of trust to our company’s commitment to a clearly defined Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. This code mandates the company “support and respect international human rights” and works to ensure we work to protect the rights and lives of our most vulnerable populations.
The PSDEX compiles data from thousands of law enforcement agencies across the U.S. to help them solve crimes, stop threats and successfully anticipate future threats. This data is linked to public records data and served back to agencies to accelerate criminal investigations through key solutions such as Accurint Virtual Crime Center.
The PSDEX Advisory Committee is comprised of former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Secret Service, metropolitan police department and other criminal justice experts, in partnership with LexisNexis Risk Solutions leaders.
