Brevard County, Florida, has about 658,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Brevard County depends on where the incident happened: the Brevard County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Florida Public Records Act (Chapter 119) requires of it.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Brevard County
The report of an incident is released by the agency that took it; the court and the jail hold their own records of the same event, but not the report.
In Brevard County that is the Brevard County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.
The FBI's list also places the Highway Patrol in Brevard County in Brevard County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.
The FBI's agency list also places one other agency and five state agencies in Brevard County, each with a records office of its own.
