Online Requests

Online requests for accident and event reports are not mailed to the requesting party; they must be picked up at BSO headquarters in the lobby of the Public Safety Building,open Monday - Friday from 8:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m., and they must be paid for (see Report Fees) when they are picked up.

Background checks are not currently available online. You must go to the Public Safety Building to request a background check or mail your request to the Broward Sheriff's Office.

SAVE TIME BY REQUESTING ONLINE: At the lobby window, BSO has established an express pick-up line exclusively for online requests that will save you time (during peak hours, as much as 30-60 minutes) when you arrive to pick up your accident or event report.

How Online Requests Work

To request a record from BSO, complete the request form (a valid e-mail address is required).

You will receive an e-mail verifying that your request has been received, and you will be notified via e-mail when your report is ready for pick-up at the Public Safety Building, open Monday - Friday from 8:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. Bring identification and cash or check for the fees required (credit or debit cards are not accepted) and present them to the representative at the Online Request window. Your report will be waiting for you.

A security screening (metal detector and X-ray) is required to enter the Public Safety Building.
