Why We Built This Site
Florida provides broad public access, but custody depends on who created or maintains the record. The Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office holds its incident, booking, and jail material. The Clerk maintains filed charges, dockets, and dispositions in Milton. FDLE operates the Florida Computerized Criminal History system, while the Florida Department of Corrections and the Florida Sexual Offenders and Predators Search answer different status questions. We bring the official contacts, portals, fees, and request steps into a clear local reference.

What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site with no affiliation to a Florida court, sheriff, police department, clerk, or state agency. Its limits are important:
- We cannot run an official background check or pull a criminal record for anyone
- We cannot file expungement petitions, records requests, or any other paperwork on your behalf
- We cannot issue certified copies of any criminal record, court document, or rap sheet
- We cannot give legal advice or explain how a specific charge or case applies to you
- We cannot guarantee that every phone number, fee, or address listed on this site is current right now
Only the issuing agency, such as the Sheriff, Clerk, or FDLE, can supply an official criminal record. This site can identify the route, but cannot issue the document.
Search Partners
Some pages contain search boxes operated by outside providers. Those providers control their services, prices, and results. A paid signup reached through a tool may produce a referral fee that supports this free site. We do not set the provider's charges or determine what its results contain.
