Wearing protective gear, DEP responders investigate an environmental crime scene.

The Division of Law Enforcement's Bureau of Emergency Response (BER) responds to environmental pollution threats in every form. Responding to incidents involving petroleum spills caused by vehicle accidents to chemical plant explosions to coastal oil spills, BER provides technical and on-site assistance to ensure threats to the environment and human safety are quickly and effectively addressed.

In addition, BER works with local public safety officials and emergency response contractors to minimize threats to the environment. BER offices are located throughout the state, with headquarters in Tallahassee.
