Duval County
Jacksonville and Duval County share one agency. The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office answers crashes across the whole county, so there is usually only one department to ask. Get medical care, ask the officer for the crash form and case number before you leave, and take photos of both cars, the road and any skid marks.

Jacksonville Sheriff's Office
Jacksonville and Duval County share one police agency, which makes the first step simpler than in most Florida metros.
01
The Sheriff's Office says you should already have a completed crash form from a law enforcement agency, picked up at the scene or later at one of its offices. That form carries the case number you need for every request that follows.
Jacksonville Sheriff's Office02
The Sheriff's Office points people to the state traffic crash reports page. From there, the state crash portal lets you confirm you are eligible, search for the report, pay the fee it lists, and download the file before the link expires.
Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles03
For other records tied to the crash, the Sheriff's Office takes public records requests online, by written letter to its Bay Street address, and in person at JSO district locations. Its page names a records custodian for questions.
Jacksonville Sheriff's Office04
Florida law asks the driver in a crash with vehicle or property damage that did not need a law enforcement report to send a written report to the state. The Sheriff's Office repeats this and links the state page where the form lives.
Florida LegislatureAgencies change their forms, portals and fees. Open the linked page before you pay for anything, and keep a copy of every request you send.
Federal fatal-crash counts, 2022 to 2024
That is 4.7% of every fatal crash the federal file records in the state over the same three years.
These are crashes in which at least one person died within 30 days, as counted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. They are not a count of all crashes, injuries, insurance claims or lawsuits, and most crashes are not in this file at all.
The counts are not adjusted for population, road miles or how much people drive, so they cannot say one place is more dangerous than another. A crash appearing here does not show who was at fault, whether anyone was insured or whether anyone has a claim.
Questions
Start with the crash form the officer gave you, because it holds the case number. The Sheriff's Office points you to the state traffic crash reports page to get the report itself. Search the state portal with the details from your form, pay the listed fee, then download the file.
Jacksonville and Duval County are consolidated, so the Sheriff's Office answers calls across nearly all of it. That means most Duval crashes carry one agency name on the form. State troopers still work some crashes, and FHP says it is not common practice to work incidents inside city limits.
The Sheriff's Office handles public records requests online, by letter to its Bay Street address, and in person at JSO district locations. Its page names a records custodian for follow up. It also warns that a unit move may slow requests, so keep your request number handy.
A quick reality check
This page cannot decide fault, medical cause, insurance coverage, legal deadlines, case value or whether you have a claim. Those questions depend on the complete facts, records, state law and a licensed attorney's review.
