Cold Case Playing Cards In Florida’s Prison System
August 30, 2008
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), Department of Corrections (DC), the Attorney General’s Office, and the Florida Association of Crime Stoppers again teamed up with Florida sheriffs and police chiefs to create a new deck of statewide cold case playing cards. The third edition features 52 of Florida’s unsolved homicide and missing person cases.
Beginning August 29th, the decks will be distributed to inmates in all 67 county jails and to supervised offenders reporting in through the state’s 156 probation offices. Each card features a photograph of the victim and factual information about the case.
This is a creative and well-crafted approach to investigating some of Florida’s toughest casesť said FDLE Commissioner Gerald Bailey. “I’m proud of the collaboration between law enforcement agencies to put this program in place. It’s worked before and we’re betting it will work again.
”There are approximately 65,000 inmates in the state’s county jails and 141,000 supervised offenders serving on state probation. By distributing the cold case playing cards to offenders, law enforcement will reach thousands of potential sources who may be able to provide critical information about an unsolved case. Printing for the third edition deck was funded through federal grant monies.
