Cape Coral 72 Hour Booking

Cape Coral 72 hour booking records are kept by the Lee County Sheriff's Office. The Cape Coral Police Department handles arrests in the city, but it does not run a jail or publish booking data online. All booking information for Cape Coral goes through the Lee County system.

Records show names, charges, booking dates, and bond amounts for people booked from Cape Coral and the rest of Lee County.

Cape Coral 72 Hour Booking Process

Cape Coral has its own police department. Officers patrol the city, respond to calls, and make arrests. But the Cape Coral PD does not have a jail or a public booking database. When they arrest someone, the person goes to the Lee County jail for processing. The Lee County Sheriff's Office staff run the booking from there. They take prints, photos, and enter all charges into the county system.

All arrest records from Cape Coral are public under Florida Statute 119.01. You can access them through the Lee County portal. The Cape Coral police website at capecoralpolice.com has general department info but does not have a booking search tool. For urgent questions about a specific arrest, call the police department at (239) 574-3223 or email police@capecoral.net.

Search Cape Coral 72 Hour Booking

The Lee County Clerk booking search is the main tool for finding 72 hour booking records from Cape Coral. You can search by name and see all recent bookings from the Lee County jail. The results show the booking date, name, and charges. The Lee County Sheriff's Office inmate search is another way to find the same data. Both tools pull from the county jail database.

If you need an arrest report instead of a booking record, contact the Cape Coral Police Department. The arrest report is what the officer writes up at the scene. The booking record is what the jail creates during intake. They are separate documents. You may need both depending on your situation. Call (239) 574-3223 to ask the Cape Coral PD about arrest report requests and any fees that apply.

Florida Statute 119.07 gives everyone the right to inspect and copy these records. The online search tools are free to use. Paper copies or certified documents from the county may carry a small fee. Always go through the official Lee County sites for booking data. Third-party websites may be outdated or have wrong information about Cape Coral arrests.

Note: Cape Coral Police Department does not maintain its own inmate database; use the Lee County Sheriff's resources for all booking searches.

Cape Coral Arrest Data and Florida Law

Booking records from Cape Coral are public. That is the rule under Florida's public records law. But some exceptions exist. Florida Statute 119.071(2)(c) allows law enforcement to withhold data tied to active investigations. If a case is still under review, not all details may be on the public portal right away. The charges shown on a booking record are not convictions. A conviction only comes after a court case concludes.

Florida Statute 901.43 covers booking photos. These photos are public records, but the law makes it illegal for any website to charge a fee to remove a booking photo. If a third-party site posts your Cape Coral booking photo and asks for money, that breaks Florida law. You have the right to demand free removal. Juvenile records from Cape Coral are handled differently under Florida Statute 985.04. Those records are confidential and do not show up on any public inmate search.

The FDLE public records page explains what types of law enforcement records are available under Florida law and what restrictions may apply. If you need more detail on the rules that govern Cape Coral booking data, that page is a good starting point.
