Pursuant to Florida's Sunshine Law, I hereby request the following records:
All data, statistics, or reports from the year 2015 regarding incidents involving firearms, including but not limited to:

Any and all policies, procedures, directives, memorandums, and any other guiding materials regarding matters pertaining to firearm acquisition, licensure, use, and transfer, including, but not limited to, the following:
• policies and procedures on the issuance of firearms permits and licenses. (Please note that this point is not a request for the identities of individual permit or license holders, but, rather, is a request for governmental policies and parameters regarding the process and regulations by which one may obtain either a permit or a license. If separate strictures exist for each, provision of both would be greatly appreciated.)
• policies and procedures on the revocation of firearms permits and licenses.
• any and all available policies and procedures regarding local firearms policies. Please provide all such materials that alter or supplement departmental procedures.

Please include all available segregable data.

Please find attached the response to your records request. Per Lt. Kenny
Brock this is what we have concerning your request. Our agency does not
issue or revoke firearm permits and licenses. Therefore we have no
policies concerning such.
