Records Division

BSO's Records Division provides local (Broward County) background checks and copies of accident reports and event reports for incidents which occurred in an area of BSO jurisdiction.

If a report was taken by a law enforcement official from another agency (for example, City of Ft. Lauderdale or the Florida Highway Patrol), BSO will not have the records. You must contact the agency that took the report.

IMPORTANT: Online requests must be picked up at BSO headquarters at the Public Safety Building, open Monday - Friday from 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Online requests cannot be mailed, but requesting a report online will save you time. Here's why.
