Florida here: We haven’t utilized photos from NCIC; however, we have from the Florida Crime Information Center. It’s not ideal due to size and quality. We try to stay away from DOC photos, which seems to be the frequent source of these FCIC photos. We do request the agency provides a colored photo. Depending on the type of case and time sensitivity, we can utilize DL photos from our state’s DL database.
Similar to Montana, we also pull photos from agency social media but typically ask for permission before we publish. If we find other, updated, or better-quality photos after the initial photo is provided, we again ask for permission to publish.
