FOIA Request to Flagler County Sheriff’s Office regarding 2023 arrest records on September 24, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by the Sunshine Sentinel to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office in Florida. The request seeks comprehensive arrest records for the entire year of 2023. The request is made under Article I, section 24 of the Florida Constitution, and chapter 119, F.S., with a preference for receiving the information in electronic format.
The requested records include detailed data points such as the name, sex, race, age, date of birth, and citizenship status of each arrestee. Additionally, the request asks for booking IDs, dates of arrest, booking photos, names of arresting officers, types and locations of crimes committed, and dates when these crimes occurred.
As part of its commitment to providing accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs and holding public institutions accountable, Sunshine Sentinel emphasizes the importance of access to public records.
