the Capitol Complex as a whole, state buildings, and state facilities in Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and 11 other cities known as Regional Service Centers. In 1985, the Florida Legislature mandated that the Division of Safety and Crime Prevention provide training and safety courses to other state agencies at their request. They were also mandated to develop and conduct evacuation procedures for the Capitol. During the early 1990s, the department became the Capitol Police. McPherson retired in 1995, and was succeeded by Colonel Timothy Kerns as director. Kerns retired in 1998, and was succeeded by Terry Meek, a former FDLE special agent.
