¶1The state appeals from the trial court’s downward departure from the sentencing guidelines. The only reason given on the scoresheet for the departure was “Recommendation of D.O.C. [Department of Corrections] Officer.” The trial court’s own reason for departure should be set forth. See State v. Jackson, 478 So.2d 1054 (Fla.1985); State v. D’Alexander, 496 So.2d 1007 (Fla. 2d DCA 1986). We reverse and remand for resentencing.
