The government-channel resource for Criminal History information is the Division of Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS), a section of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE). It maintains all reports on criminal cases that are filed in Florida. By law, Florida Arrest Records are public records so no signed release or authorization is required to access them except for those that have been sealed or expunged by the courts. Official FDLE forms must be used and procedures and fees apply. Trial dates, convictions, settlements, and sentencing are some of the standard information it holds.
