In October 2014, the Hall of Fame was created through Section 265.0041, Florida Statute, to recognize and honor law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line for the safety and protection of Florida’s citizens and visitors through their works, service and exemplary accomplishments.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is privileged to establish the FLEOHOF to honor contributions made to our state by these exceptional individuals. This is a tribute to their unselfish dedication as daily heroes in the lives of many throughout the state. It is also noteworthy to offer appreciation to these individuals who contribute to the advancement of the law enforcement field. Each year, inductees’ names will be affixed on a plaque in the Florida Law Enforcement Officers’ Hall of Fame, which is located on the Plaza Level of the Florida Capitol Building.
FDLE is composed of five areas: Executive Direction and Business Support, Criminal Investigations and Forensic Science, Criminal Justice Information, Criminal Justice Professionalism and Florida Capitol Police. FDLE’s duties, responsibilities and procedures are mandated through Chapter 943, FS, and Chapter 11, FAC. To learn more about these areas, read our Statement of Agency Organization and Operation or visit our Open Government page.
