The Public Information Office is committed to responsive, professional service in full compliance with Florida Public Records Law and in the best interests of the agency, the news media, and the people of Lee County. Routine media inquiries and records requests are addressed as quickly as possible during normal business hours.

The office manages all media inquiries, news releases, public records requests from the media, agency social media, special projects, and other communications.

Staff are available Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., at Main Headquarters off Six Mile Cypress Parkway. For general media inquiries, contact the Public Information Office at publicinformationoffice@sheriffleefl.org or 239.477.1340.

Written records—including arrest affidavits and offense reports—are not available after hours. Staff cannot provide information on non-fatal vehicle crashes, routine arrests, crimes not involving death or critical injury, or ongoing cases that are not considered breaking news.

In the event of a high-profile or large-scale incident occurring after hours, on holidays, or weekends, the media will be notified via press release.
