To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Florida Sunshine Law, I hereby request the following records:

- Any records of disciplinary actions taken against VCSO SROs during the above-mentioned time period.
- Any spreadsheets, logs, or other records tracking misconduct lawsuits against VCSO SROs during the above-mentioned time period.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days.

Good morning: Florida's retention period for internal investigation records varies depending on the type of record and outcome of the investigation. Many records are retained in a range of 1 to 5 years; in general, records are not retained for the entire 10-year period referenced in your request. Because disciplinary records are not sorted by assignment, there is no existing database of disciplinary action specific to school resource deputies. However, we've gathered all the records in our possession that we believe are responsive to your request, and they're attached. I'm not aware of any Sheriff's Office records that would include spreadsheets or other logs tracking misconduct lawsuits involving school resource deputies, and I'm also not aware of any such lawsuits.
