About this guide

Osceola County, Florida, has about 468,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Osceola County depends on where the incident happened: the Osceola 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.

Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at osceola.org/Government/Make-a-Public-Records-Request (page title: Make a Public Records Request | Osceola County).

A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the State Attorney, 407 836-2400, handles discovery for pending cases.
