Records
In addition to receiving, distributing and electronic filing of all incident and case reports, arrests, traffic citations, accident records and criminal fingerprints, we also provide services such as fingerprinting the public at their request, background checks for prior arrest history information and notary services. Our Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) desk reviews and codes all offense and arrest reports generated by law enforcement staff. These statistics are submitted to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement who is responsible for compiling statewide statistics on a bi-annual basis.
The Central Records Section is staffed between the hours of 8 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday. We welcome inquiries by telephone, email, fax or in person.
