Functions of Records:

The authorized Records Division members are responsible for the dissemination, privacy and security of police reports and law enforcement records housed within the Records Division. We gather statistical information and coding for the Uniform Crime Reporting purposes, disseminate criminal and non-criminal reports in compliance with applicable laws, accept law enforcement subpoenas served on law enforcement officers, and responsible for fulfilling public records requests for copies of law enforcement reports in accordance with the Florida Public Records Law. The Records Division makes available to the public a “Police Department Activity Report” of offenses that have been reported to the University of South Florida Police Department which also includes the disposition of any case investigated by this agency within the report. The Records Division is also responsible for insuring that all requirements of the Jeanne Clery Campus Crime Act are met and public notification is available.
