Waive sanctuary city requirements for police software provider LexisNexis
In Plain English
Richmond police use 3 software applications for cell phone analysis, traffic reports, and online crime reporting that save significant staff time. LexisNexis now owns all 3 programs and refuses to sign the city's sanctuary city compliance form. The police department has no alternative software providers for these essential tools.
