Florida has always been a destination point for those who want to experience warmer climates all year round and it has also been a destination point for those more dubious individuals of society. In fact, statistics have put the number of new people at around 1,000 every day. Those are some pretty large numbers and that also means there are 1,000 new chances of crime being added every day. Regardless, the resources we show you should ensure you have all the information you’ll ever need.
Criminal records in Florida are accessed using the Florida Criminal History Information (CHI) system. This system indexes criminal record histories stored at the Division of Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Florida has provided access to the CHI online to both individuals and businesses for $24 per name. Records instantly obtainable from the CHI will include the following:
- Arrests
- Dispositions
- Incarceration
As with any state search you will only receive Florida criminal records. Other types of searches such as reverse address and phone, background checks, people search, civil court records, and more can be accessed using one of the myriad online services available to consumers. Below we have included a list of links to the top resources for acquiring different types of records including a link to the CHI.
