Officer Lookup · data coverage
What records back each jurisdiction.
Officer Lookup is only as good as the public records under it, so here is exactly what dataset, public source, and snapshot back each jurisdiction. Florida leads; six more jurisdictions plus a national source-ledger are live. Every row in the tool and the brief links to its underlying record.
Florida (beachhead)
FDLE/CJSTC certification discipline + incident ledger
Statewide officer certification-discipline rows (revocations, suspensions, accepted relinquishments) maintained by the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, plus a source-backed use-of-force and misconduct incident ledger.
Source: FDLE/CJSTC certification-discipline export; the incident ledger originates from third-party incident datasets (e.g. Mapping Police Violence). Local-agency internal-affairs files and the State Attorney's Brady/Giglio list are separate records, demand them under Chapter 119.
Chicago
CPD complaint records
Complaint-register rows for Chicago Police Department officers, searchable by name or star number.
Source: Published CPD complaint datasets. The full complaint-register (CR) and COPA investigation files are separate records requested under the Illinois FOIA.
Texas
TCOLE certification + employment history
Texas Commission on Law Enforcement certification and employment-history rows.
Source: TCOLE export published via the National Police Index (September 2023 snapshot). Confirm current license status through TCOLE's public lookup; the TCOLE case file is a separate record under the Texas Public Information Act.
New York City
CCRB complaint history
Civilian Complaint Review Board complaint, allegation, and officer rows for the NYPD.
Source: NYC Open Data CCRB datasets, public since the 2020 repeal of N.Y. Civil Rights Law § 50-a. Sealed and mediated complaints do not appear; the CCRB investigation file and NYPD IAB file are separate FOIL requests.
Georgia
GA POST certification + employment history
Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training certification and employment-history rows.
Source: GA POST export via the National Police Index (May 2024 snapshot). The export carries no decertification field, confirm POST status directly with GA POST before relying on it.
Arizona
AZPOST certification + employment history
Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training certification and employment-history rows.
Source: AZPOST export via the National Police Index (May 2023 snapshot). No decertification field; the only separation signal is the per-stint separation reason, confirm POST status with AZPOST.
California
CA POST + CDCR certification + employment history
California Peace Officer Standards and Training and CDCR certification and employment-history rows.
Source: CA POST + CDCR export via the National Police Index (data updated 2026, the freshest officer-records file we carry). SB 1421/SB 16 personnel records and SB 2 decertification files are released per-agency under the California Public Records Act, not as a statewide file.
National
Source-ledger preview
A national source-ledger of officer-record leads, each row linked to its originating public record.
Source: Aggregated public-record sources. Direct any records demand to the agency that produced the underlying row, under that jurisdiction's public-records law.
Snapshots are point-in-time; absence of a row is not absence of a record. Confirm current certification status and identity against the official custodian and your case discovery before relying on any row. This is a navigation aid, not legal advice.
