PLEASE NOTE:
1. If you have requested body camera footage, these requests can be lengthy and will cost a minimum average of $80 but could cost several hundred dollars due to many factors:
* How long was the law enforcement encounter?
* How many deputies were on scene?
* How much redaction will be required for public release?
2. If you have requested only paper documentation, these do not require a charge unless the report is length or requires significant redaction.
3. Florida Statute 119 does not require a governmental body to create new information, to do legal research, or to answer questions.
If any of the above factors change your request, you can reply to this email with the modifications you would like to make. You can monitor the progress of your request at the link below and you'll receive an email when your request has been completed. Thank you for using the Records Request Center.
