The data company LexisNexis makes millions of dollars selling dedicated tools to law enforcement and other U.S. government agencies, according to contracting data and agency documents reviewed by Motherboard.

The contracts highlight LexisNexis’ often overlooked government work, which includes capabilities that stretch beyond its ordinary people-search or article databases available to consumers and businesses. One of those is the Virtual Crime Center, a system for linking public records with agencies’ own internal datasets and those from other agencies. Motherboard obtained documents detailing the Secret Service’s purchase of Virtual Crime Center licenses.
