Records Division
Guillermina Jaimes, Supervisor
The DeSoto Records Division is responsible for maintaining all reports generated by the Police Department. The Records Division is staffed by Supervisor Guillermina Jaimes, three full time technicians Shara Colbert, Temishia Crockett, and Valerie Mandley and one part - time Technician. In September of 2021, our Department implemented the use of an Online Portal to accept Open Records requests which also allowed us the opportunity to implement an Online payment option as well. Toward the end of 2022, Records began a huge undertaking of converting all paper documents to an electronic copy to allow for more consistent record keeping and open up some needed space in the Department. In October of 2023, with the help of the City Manager ’ s Office, our Online Open Records portal received a much needed upgrade to JustFIOA. With the new system, we will be able to offer continued electronic release of documents and it will allow us to electronically release videos. Records staff answers all record requests from the public as well as other law enforcement agencies, Dallas County District Attorney, DeSoto City Court, Child Protective Service and Military. The staff also submits NCIC/TCIC validation reports and Uniform Crime Reports which detail the FBI crime statistics for DeSoto. The charts below show the comparisons over the past three years.
