TAMPA - The state's attorney general's office launched a Web site Monday that features the most wanted fugitives pursued by local and national law enforcement.
The Web site, www.myfloridalegal.com/mostwanted, features suspects and convicted criminals wanted on serious charges including drug trafficking, cybercrime, organized criminal activity, racketeering and failing to appear for sentencing after conviction or plea agreement.
Each fugitive listing includes a summary of the person's charges and potential threat as well as an option to access a full-page profile with more details such as the fugitive's last-known whereabouts or any known aliases.
"Sometimes the most valuable information provided to our law enforcement comes from concerned citizens within our communities," Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum said in a statement Monday.
"With the help of this Web site and its viewers, dangerous criminals with serious charges can be located and brought to justice quickly."
Information on reporting tips to local law enforcement and local Crime Stoppers organizations will be available on the Web site. Viewers can also access a tip line by clicking on the "View All" link on the Crime Stoppers tip line page.
The state attorney's office is asking citizens to refrain from taking any action to apprehend fugitives and to report all information to law enforcement.
Information from the state attorney general's Medicaid Fraud Unit, Office of Statewide Protection and CyberCrime Unit will also be provided on the Web site.
