RECORDS UNIT
As a state agency, the Florida State University Police Department is required to provide public records in accordance with Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes.
“Public records” means all documents, papers, letters, maps, books, tapes, photographs, films, sound recordings, data processing software, or other material, regardless of the physical form, characteristics, or means of transmission, made or received pursuant to law or ordinance or in connection with the transaction of official business by any agency.
If the nature or volume of public records requested to be inspected or copied is such as to require extensive use of information technology resources or extensive clerical or supervisory assistance by personnel of the agency involved, or both, the agency may charge, in addition to the actual cost of duplication, a special service charge, which shall be reasonable and shall be based on the cost incurred for such extensive use of information technology resources or the labor cost of the personnel providing the service that is incurred by the agency or attributable to the agency for the clerical and supervisory assistance required, or both.
PUBLIC RECORDS REQUESTS
Public records requests shall be accepted in writing, by electronic mail, by telephone, by facsimile, or in person. The request must be clear enough to enable the Records Section to conduct a thorough search of records.
TRAFFIC CRASH REPORTS
Traffic crash reports are exempt from public disclosure for 60 days after the date the report is filed, except for parties involved in the crash and other specific parties outlined in the statute. This statute also provides criminal penalties (third-degree felony) for the unlawful disclosure of confidential personal information and for unlawfully obtaining or attempting to obtain confidential personal information.
Involved parties can obtain a crash report by contacting the FSU Police Department Records Section. Please bring proper identification with you such as a driver's license, identification card, or passport. Traffic crash reports can also be obtained by visiting https://www.flhsmv.gov/traffic-crash-reports/.
