If your agency is not here
These are the Florida agencies whose own documents we have been able to obtain and read in full. An agency missing from this list usually means the policy is not published rather than that there is no policy - your own chain of command holds the current version.
The four pages in our off-duty section describe how this kind of work runs in general, whatever your agency.
