Middlesex Twp. police hope to get database

MIDDLESEX TWP — The township supervisors on Wednesday discussed a potential subscription to Accurint Virtual Crime Center for the Middlesex Township Police Department.

Randy Davison, officer in charge, said with a suspect’s name, date and birthday, the department can access a drivers license. However, many suspects cannot be found at their listed addresses.

Using Accurint Virtual Crime Center’s database of transactions, Davison said, the department increases its ability to track suspects.

“If you’ve paid a bill, it’ll tell us your current address, every address you’ve ever had, where you work, where you’ve worked, all your relatives, your phone numbers, every phone number you’ve ever had, it’ll tell us who your coworkers are, who your relatives are, so we can try to find you,” he explained. “Otherwise, you get away.”

For now, the department shares Penn Township’s system, but Davison said the department would benefit from owning its own subscription.

“When we need it, we have to wait for them to be out of there,” Davison said. “I would like to have it for ourselves.“

The subscription would cost the township $155 per month, and the board will take action on the proposal at its April 19 meeting.
