    There are several factors which affect whether you can obtain official police reports of suicides. Was the report of an attempt or is the person deceased? Is the case currently under investigation? Police reports are generally public record unless they've been sealed or still under an ongoing investigation. When a public record is denied, you will get a reply stating the reason for the request being turned down.

  • How do I search a court record in Florida, by case number?
    Enter the case number in the court search form's "Keyword" box above (which searches both words and numbers). You do not need to enter the entire case number since it's a general keyword search. You can search as many times as needed as it's open to the public freely. It is a good preliminary search that helps when looking for case information.

  • How can I find my court records free and online, in Florida?
    Depends on the county, not all counties have their records online freely like Orange county, FL. Since you know where they are, you can check with the clerk's web page, that's where the Orange county has their free search. Hillsborough County, Collier County Clerk of the Circuit Court, Alachua County, Broward, Pinellas and others, too many to list.

  • How can I retrieve a will and trust documents from a person who died in Florida?
    You can check into court records if the will went through probate, then retrieve it either online or by going to the courthouse records department, depending on the particular court. In some cases the will is recorded, however, attorneys have advised not to do so due to privacy concerns and tendency of the will being amended after the recording. When a resident of Florida passes away, the person which is in possession the will is required to turn it over to the court clerk where the deceased lived. You can check more about the law and how it applies to you, such as whether you are mentioned in that will, are you an interested party named in the will. Check both official records (recorded documents such as deeds) and court records.

  • How can I get arrest records from 1985 in Florida?
    A majority of arrests are at the county or city level, from local law enforcement. Having a case number is helpful. You can find records of arrests using many free sources online, you will need to dig up some of them. Official police reports are different, they are requested from the department which made the arrest. Sometimes requested by defense attorneys for their case. Records of arrest, which means any recorded information in regard to an arrest, can be found in different sources. You can pull up a case from an earlier time and see specifics about the prosecution, filed charges and more. Periodicals have archived reports also and they report on arrests. Without knowing where the arrest happened, specific sources can't be suggested. The FL department of corrections has a free public search that shows photos of the prisoners. A name search can be conducted, there are many offenders listed there and worth checking. You can see a list of their offenses going back many years showing arrests/offenses and dates.

  • Where can I find my marriage License in Florida?
    Marriage licenses are issued from the county where they take place by the clerk/court. The state uses a private company. If you know which county, their site can tell you how to request it. Florida Department of Health states on their website that requests by email, will make your email address public. Any requests by email to the department is public and they warn you of this. I'd like to see whether the same is true for private companies filling the role of providing the same services on behalf of the state. Florida's doh has this policy not just for marriage records requests, but for many other if not all records requests which disclose your email address. Check disclosure policies regarding your specific request first.

  • How do I locate a Doctor in Florida?
    You can view the address either by physicians' names or practice/business names by using Florida's department of health's medical license search online. There are five tabs when you locate the physician's name or practice, they are: license information, secondary locations, disciplinary actions, subordinate practitioners and practitioner profile. The practitioner's profile shows the doctor's primary practice address, medic-aid (participation in the program), staff privileges, institution name, email address, other state licenses and additional information under the other tabs. The doctor's license does not need to be active to view this information. The results I found included physicians that were retired, deceased, others which their license status currently null and void, voluntarily relinquished, holds as well as clear and active. You can still see the addresses of the physicians which have retired, relinquished their license, are on hold and other in-active status.

    Generally, the event of the death needs to be recorded with the local health department withing a certain period of time, about 3 days or more. The state also have get the death notice withing a certain period of time. This makes me think in Florida!

  • How can I find in Florida, how I can get completely free records on myself?
    It's easier to look up records of your self since much of the privacy laws will not be a factor. You can also see how easy it is to find information about yourself. To find records, many of them free, they will need to be found, or dug up. Another advantage you have over looking for records of another is that you know where to look and not have to rely on a list of past addresses. If you're looking to start with free records, which I recommended since you have little to lose other than time, try the free case search on this page (under Recent divorce records, court criminal actions, civil lawsuits and bankruptcy filings.) For other court filing, which are also free to the public depending on the area, the county court website offers free online open public searches. The Orange county clerk's webpage is a good example, all you need is a last name, I was able to view criminal cases from traffic to felonies. The results for this one are detailed showing offenses, hearings, notices, motions and more. If you find a case by using the court search below mentioned earlier, there is an option Recent divorce records, court criminal actions, civil lawsuits and bankruptcy filings. To receive updates when something new happens (filing, motions, notices etc...) with that case (this is also free). Good luck, if you're having any trouble finding specific records, you'll have to be more specific as to which record and where so that others can help.

  • Where can I search for divorce records in Florida?
    If you are aware of the county where the filing took place, you can go directly to the court's website and see how to order them. Court records are generally public records. Vital records, specially official certificates are not as easy to obtain as they come with some restrictions depending on the agency. However, court records are under general open records laws and should be available to anyone requesting them. Note that not all court records are available, such as juvenile records, certain court records can be restricted from public view, however, divorce records should be readily open. Florida's department health issues divorce abstracts from 6/1927 to today. The clerk office in the county where the divorces occurred has records prior to that period. If you need the entire record, judgment, divorce decree or other documents of the dissolution, you will also need to go to the county clerk, as the department of health only provides abstract reports (of divorces earlier than sixty days). Requests for this document are without restrictions, which means that anyone can request them for a fee of four dollars. You will need the document: APPLICATION FOR DISSOLUTION OF MARRIAGE REPORT (DIVORCE OR ANNULMENT )GRANTED IN FLORIDA. To access this form, click on the link: Florida Marriage Records above under the Florida Free Public Records Directory part of this page (at the top of the page), from there, a menu to the left on the health department's webpage lists a divorce link that will take you to the form.

These are people that have been charged with escape or their case involves it.

  • Where can I find in Florida, contact information and location of my grandson, Onyx?
    This open public record site helps with looking up information with where and how to get what you are looking for. It does not provide records and all feeds are from externally produced data. The original source of many records are public agencies, whether by county, city or state, even federal. Looking up names and addresses does not always follow the same path or method. Some are much easier than others and will take more effort, maybe even luck. When you do an address search, mark down all the relatives, you should actually make a note of all related information as it can be helpful later on. Any information is helpful, even the place of birth or even more important, the date of birth.

  • Where can I find in Florida, access to a property owner, when I only know the street address?
    The ease of gathering information online has made a novice investigator out of web users. When starting out, chances are you will see a good amount of information, some of it unexpected. Simply entering a name or address in your search engine, will do just that, based on the right keywords. One of the most common searches is for property ownership information and the current value. You will find looking up property values to be much easier as many companies in the real estate industry will provide it freely. Name of the property owner is a different matter. It is considered public record, so what is the problem? With the advancements in technology, access to recorded documents should be easy, specially when the valuations are made accessible online. The reason is privacy protections, a major contributor is protection from identity theft and other unintended fraudulent consequences. So what does an individual do when running into the problem of privacy policies being in the way of getting public records. After all, you have a right to these records by law. The difference between policy and laws for free access to public records. The laws for obtaining property records are clear. There isn't much debate on whether deeds should be available for the public to obtain. However, departments in charge of deeds can set policies as long as it does not violate laws. The freedom of information statutes from state to state can also be different directly affecting the availability. Some state laws are geared toward more transparency than others. This also means that there is no blanket answer to cover all agencies, each have their own policies which need to be followed. Even counties bordering each other can have vastly different procedures. How do you find out about getting the information under an address? Today, nearly all county offices have websites in one form or another. While is it making things easier for the department, it is also doing the same for the individual searching. It is simply just more challenging in some states than others, such as California, New York and a few others. The law guaranteeing the access to public records does not provide for its ease of retrieval or costs as long as it is not unjustly prohibitive. You can successfully begin with government websites which deal with deeds and recorded documents. Private entities request much of their data from public entities also for their own use or resell, meaning that the government sources are generally the source of all information you will be seeking.
