The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice's "electronic release" of data on Civil Citation and other alternatives to arrest, the Civil Citation and Other Alternatives to Arrest Dashboard, examines Florida's use of Civil Citation and other alternatives to arrest for 1st time misdemeanants. Click here to learn more about Civil Citation.
In addition to statewide figures, the Dashboard makes it possible to access data broken down by judicial circuit, county level and law enforcement agency via an interactive web-based format. Data is presented in both tabular and graphic format, by offense type, race, age and sex. The Dashboard is updated monthly using data from the Juvenile Justice Information System (JJIS) and covers a “rolling” 12 month period. Please note that there is a one-month delay in reporting Civil Citation and other alternatives to arrest data to ensure adequate time for data entry and data integrity reviews.
