St. Lucie County, Florida, has about 391,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from St. Lucie County depends on where the incident happened: the St. Lucie 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.

Which Agency Holds a Report from St. Lucie County
