Reviewed and updated October 9, 2026 by the SearchSystems.net editorial team. The arrest counts are the ones each agency reported to the FBI, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026.

Volusia County, Florida, has about 603,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Volusia County depends on where the incident happened: the Volusia 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, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Volusia 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 Volusia County that is the Volusia 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 Volusia County in Volusia 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 Volusia County, each with a records office of its own.
The Flagler Beach Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Volusia County, so its arrests are not broken out for Volusia County here.

What the Florida Public Records Act (Chapter 119) Requires
Under the Florida Public Records Act (Chapter 119) the agency 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 request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at volusia.govqa.us/WEBAPP/_rs/(S(fetkkkrp3uxbijk55xa4ibcp))/SupportHo... (page title: Volusia County | Public Records Center).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the State Attorney handles discovery for pending cases.
