Surrendering to Law Enforcement

Summary

The bill requires every law‑enforcement agency in Florida to adopt a written process for interviewing people who turn themselves in when no arrest warrant exists. It tells front‑desk staff to record the surrenderer’s information, alerts an officer, and guides the officer on when they may detain, arrest, or send the person for involuntary mental‑health evaluation. The measure aims to standardize handling of surrendering individuals and ensure proper documentation.
