244 The task force shall also evaluate administrative functions,
245 including, but not limited to, accreditation, training, legal
246 representation, vehicle fleets, aircraft, civilian-support
247 staffing, information technology, and geographic regions,

250 jurisdiction, except while in fresh pursuit, to the State
251 Highway System or the Florida Intrastate Highway System. If the

253 consolidation is appropriate, the task force shall make
254 recommendations and submit a plan to consolidate those state law
255 enforcement responsibilities. Any plan submitted must include
256 recommendations on the methodology to be used to achieve any
257 state law enforcement consolidation recommended by the task

273 recommend the location and operation of a law enforcement data
274 center that meets all security requirements of the criminal
275 justice information systems. The report must also include
276 recommendations on the strategy to be used for creating the law
277 enforcement data center and timelines for when the center should
