Definitions

A Florida law, effective July 1, 1996, requires the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to maintain an updated list of registered sexual predators in this state after a court has made a written finding designating them as a sexual predator as that term is defined by Florida statute.

Florida Statute 943.0435, created by Chapter 97-299, Laws of Florida, requires certain sexual offenders to register with the state, with the information to be provided to FDLE and made available to the public. This site provides you with public information regarding registered sexual offenders as law defines that term for the purposes of registration requirements.

Under Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, the Public Records Law, any of the public records of the Department of Law Enforcement are available for review upon request, subject to statutorily authorized editing of exempt or confidential information.

Requesting Information

FDLE has also established a toll-free number, 1-888-FL-PREDATOR or 888-357-7332, which allows the public to request information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, about sexual predators living in their communities and around the state.

This information is provided per Florida State Statute, Chapters 775, 944 and 943. Sexual offender and sexual predator information is also available to the public by calling FDLE at 1-888-FL-PREDATOR or by searching the FDLE website.
