During the 2025-26 legislative session, the Florida Legislature appropriated $2,000,000 to Starkey Laboratories to provide active hearing protection devices to Florida law enforcement officers. These devices are designed to reduce harmful noise exposure while preserving situational awareness in the field.
Devices will be shipped directly to eligible agencies on a first-come, first-served basis, as determined by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE).
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.
