    Important Update for Florida Schools and Sheriff’s Offices House Bill 1473 was signed into law on May 6, 2024. The new law requires the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to maintain a list of each person appointed as a school guardian in Florida. The #YourFDLE Criminal Justice Professionalism Division has launched the School Guardian Management System (SGMS) to manage this new requirement. Here is what you need to know: -For Schools: By September 1, 2024, all school districts, charter schools, and private schools must report each school guardian’s name, date of birth, and appointment date to the FDLE. -For Sheriffs: By September 1, 2024, and within 30 days of issuing each school guardian certificate, all Florida sheriffs must report the school guardian’s name, date of birth, and certification date to the FDLE. To be in compliance with the law, the FDLE will notify the Department of Education on March 1 and October 1 each year about any institution that has not met the reporting requirements. Make sure to stay updated and ensure your reporting is completed on time! For information or questions on system access for schools and sheriffs, please email [email protected]. #SchoolSafety #FloridaLaw #SchoolGuardianManagement #FDLE

    #YourFDLE Miami members participated in a hurricane preparedness meeting this week. The meeting outlined the duties and responsibilities of agents and analysts while on hurricane deployments. Our #FDLETeam members are tasked with pre-staging equipment and mobile command posts at strategic locations before a hurricane, and then leaving the safety of their own homes and traveling to impacted areas following a storm’s landfall to assist with various law enforcement recovery missions. #KeepingFloridaSafe #HurricaneSeason
