Central Records

.The primary function of the Central Records Department is the processing of all incident reports, Misdemeanor Citations, traffic/boating citations and traffic crash reports.  Central Records is also responsible for maintaining accurate statistics that are sent to FDLE/Uniform Crime Reports Department to monitor the crime index throughout the state. In addition we also assist the public in obtaining a copy of an incident report or calls for service, local records checks and insurance requests. All incident reports, traffic citations with an arrest and misdemeanor citations are scanned into a Document Management System where they will remain permanently. Incident reports where an arrest has been made are processed and disseminated as follows:
  • Felony arrests are forwarded to the State Attorney’s Office for prosecution.
  • Misdemeanor arrests are forwarded to Misdemeanor Clerk of Court.
  • Juvenile arrests are transmitted to the Juvenile Clerk of Court and Juvenile Court Liaison Officer.
