Records Division

Aside from police officers, members of the Records Division are the employees most likely to directly serve the citizens of Fort Myers. Supervised by Joe Gallo, the Records Division is responsible for maintaining all reports of crimes, arrest reports and accident reports.

Records employees also make these reports available to the public.

All original reports are carefully stored and eventually microfilmed after several years. Records clerks also enter data from the reports in the department's computer system for tracking criminal histories and for statistical purposes.
