Collier County, Florida, has about 416,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). In Florida the public criminal record is the court file, kept by the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller; the statewide criminal history kept by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is open to anyone who asks. This guide says where each record of a criminal case from Collier County is kept and how it is seen.
This guide covers the court file, the statewide record, local arrest records, the crimes behind the records, the prosecutor, sex offender registry, records requests, directory links and common questions.

Criminal Cases in the Collier County Circuit Court
In Florida the public criminal record is the court file. Criminal cases from Collier County are heard by the Collier County Circuit Court, which hears felonies, civil cases over $50,000, divorces, probate and juvenile matters; the County Court takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, small claims and civil cases up to $50,000, and the file of each case is kept by the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at collierclerk.com/records-search/court-reports (page title: Search Court Records | Collier Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller), phone (239) 252-2646, 3315 Tamiami Trail East, Suite 102 Naples, FL 34112, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.
Florida has no single public index of every trial court case; each court's records are looked up through that court.
The Florida Criminal History and Your Own Copy
Florida is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: anyone can run a name-based criminal history search online for $24, for $24 a search, through the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. The result is the repository record, what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it. The search is on the Florida Department of Law Enforcement site.
Arrest Records Kept Locally in Collier County
The Collier County Sheriff's Office and the agencies that report for Naples and Marco Island keep the arrest records in Collier County: the report and the booking record of each arrest stay with the agency that made it, separate from the court file and from the state repository.
The FBI's agency list also places five state agencies and one state police unit in Collier County (the arrest records guide names each one); each keeps the records of its own arrests.
Together, the two agencies in Collier County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 6,108 arrests to the FBI that year; how each case ended is in the court file, not in the arresting agency's.
The agencies and their counts, year by year, are in Collier County arrest records.
The Crimes Behind the Records: Collier County in 2025
The two agencies in Collier County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 367 violent and 1,934 property crimes to the FBI that year; the same agencies with both 2025 and 2024 complete reported 2,301 crimes in 2025 against 3,241 in 2024. Each reported crime is a report on file with the agency that took it, and each arrest that follows is the start of a criminal record.
The full crime section, agency by agency, is on the Collier County public records guide.

Asking an Agency in Collier County for a Record
An arrest report, a booking record or a local criminal history letter comes from the agency that holds it, not from the court.
Under the Florida Public Records Act (Chapter 119) a county office must answer a request promptly and in good faith; the statute sets no number of days, and it may charge the copy fees set by statute, plus a special service charge for large requests. The county records request page SearchSystems verified is at collier.gov/Home/Tabs/Trending/Public-Records-Request (page title: Public Records Request | Collier County, FL).
