The Williamson County Sheriff's Office is requesting approval to utilize CARFAX for Police as an investigative and research tool. This platform provides law enforcement agencies with access to comprehensive vehicle history reports, crash data, and related information to support investigations, enhance case efficiency, and improve the accuracy of vehicle-related research. Use of CARFAX for Police will assist deputies and investigators in identifying vehicles involved in criminal activity, locating potential suspects, and verifying information during ongoing investigations. The system integrates securely with existing law enforcement databases and tools, ensuring compliance with data security and privacy standards. The use of CARFAX will be for a term of one (1) year and will auto-renew for a term of one (1) year. There is no cost to the County for participation in this program. This request has been reviewed and approved by Contract Audit, General Counsel, Risk Management, and Information Services. Origination #3939. The department's Point of Contact is Mary Johnson. S&P Global, the parent company of CARFAX, is publicly traded. Therefore, a Form 1295 is not needed.
