From: Sam Stecklow

To Whom It May Concern:

This is a public records request made via MuckRock under the Florida Sunshine Laws, seeking records related to law enforcement officer certification in this state.

This request is brought by Big Local News along with a collaboration of news organizations, including ABC News, KQED, MuckRock, the Invisible Institute and other news organizations. Big Local News is a program of Stanford University’s Journalism and Democracy Initiative and helps journalists collect, process and analyze public data.

We request any spreadsheets, logs, data, or other similar documents maintained by FDLE sufficient to show the following information regarding law enforcement officers who receive reciprocal certifications in Florida due to their previous certification in other states or as military police officers. Specifically, please provide as many of the following data points as are maintained:

- Unique ID
- Name
- Previous state or military that the officer was previously certified by
- Date of Florida certification

If your certification system contains data elements not listed above, please include them in the response, provided they are releasable under the law. On the other hand, we recognize some of the information we are asking for may not be tracked by your system. If that is the case, we are willing to accept as many of the data elements as your agency maintains. If some records are more readily available, we are happy to receive partial information as soon as possible while the remaining request is processed.

In addition to the data elements listed, we request documentation necessary to understand and interpret the data, including but not limited to record layouts, data dictionaries, code sheets, lookup tables, etc.

Our preference is to receive structured data provided in a machine-readable text file, such as delimited or fixed-width formats. We can also handle a variety of other data formats including SQL databases, Excel workbooks and MS Access. If there are additional formats your agency would prefer to provide, please let us know.

We are seeking this information as a news media organization on a matter of public interest concerning the conduct of government. As such, we ask for a waiver of all fees, if allowed under state law. If fees are necessary to reimburse the agency for actual costs, we agree to pay up to $100. If costs exceed that amount, please let us know before fulfilling the request.

Please send clarifications and questions via electronic communication at any time. Thank you very much for your time and attention to this request.

Dear Mr. Stecklow:

RE: Your Public Records Request Tracking number, FDLE Docket No. PRR-2023-1917
Requesting public records regarding law enforcement officers who receive reciprocal certifications in Florida due to their previous certification in other states or as military police officers

Attached is the Excel spreadsheet of law enforcement officers who are out of state, Federal, or Special Operations (Military). This record is being provided pursuant to Florida's Public Records Law, Chapter 119, Florida Statutes.

Access to records in the Department's custody is governed by State law, Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, and not by the Federal Freedom of Information Act. No provision is made for a waiver of fees under the Public Records Act. The production costs have been waived for this request because of the few pages and the request did not require extensive use of agency resources.

If you have questions concerning your request, please contact us at (850) 410-7676 or publicrecords@fdle.state.fl.us<mailto:publicrecords@fdle.state.fl.us>.

Sincerely,

Office of Open Government
Florida Department of Law Enforcement
Post Office Box 1489
Tallahassee, FL 32302-1489

Thank you for providing this record. Can you clarify whether FDLE tracks
what state the out-of-state officers came from?

Sam

From: Department of Law Enforcement

Hi Sam,

I checked and we do not capture the name of the state from which the officer transferred. The public records section provided the report and data that FDLE maintains.

Thank you,

Dana

OK, thank you
