Methodology & limitations
- Source: public Florida FDLE/CJSTC officer certification-discipline records, grouped by the employing-agency value FDLE itself records, here Manatee County Sheriff's Office. Snapshot: 2026-06-17. Every figure is reproducible from a published script against the source data.
- Crimen-falsi classification: verbatim offense text matched for truthfulness offenses (perjury, false statement/report, falsifying, forgery, fraud); any clause carrying a dismissal, nolle prosequi, acquittal, exoneration, or cleared marker is removed before classifying.
- What the data does NOT show: a discipline record is not proof of guilt in any individual matter and does not reflect current certification status. These are statewide certification-discipline records, not local internal-affairs files. This page reports aggregates only and identifies no individual officer.
- Small sample: with 5 crimen-falsi records, percentages (including the revocation share) are omitted as noisy — the raw counts are indicative, not rates, and should not be read as a misconduct rate for the agency.
