Duval County, Florida, has about 1.1 million residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Duval County depends on where the incident happened: the Jacksonville 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 Duval 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 Duval County that is the Jacksonville 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 Duval County in Duval 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 seven state agencies, two campus police departments and two other agencies in Duval County, each with a records office of its own.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is the county agency; it had 5,231 violent and 21,920 property crimes reported for 2025 and reported 25,105 arrests for 2025.
Its reports come from its records unit. The office's page SearchSystems verified is its jail page, at jaxsheriff.org (page title: www.jaxsheriff.org | Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) Homepage), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 30, 2026.
