Record Requests

As part of the criminal justice process, and as required by the state's Public Records Statutes, more than a million pieces of paper ranging from traffic tickets to entire criminal cases are collected and maintained by the Records Unit.

The paper trail begins with the deputy on the road and is eventually processed and filed in the Records Unit of the Flagler County Sheriff's Office.

Requests for Reports

The public may request copies of accident and incident reports. If you have reported an incident or accident and need to obtain a copy for your insurance company, contact the Records Unit for assistance.

In order to expedite your request, please provide the following information: case number, date, time, and location of incident when applicable, or the location the report was made, along with the name of person or persons involved. Other requests can be made under the freedom of information act.
