Pompano Beach 72 Hour Bookings
After a Pompano Beach officer makes an arrest, the person is taken to the Broward County Jail. The jail staff do the fingerprinting, take the booking photo, and enter the charges into the county system. A bond amount gets set based on the charges. The whole process takes a few hours. Once it is done, the booking record shows up in the county inmate search.
The 72 hour booking report is just a time filter. It shows people booked across all of Broward County in the last three days. You can identify Pompano Beach arrests by checking the arresting agency. The county jail also takes in bookings from Fort Lauderdale, Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, Coral Springs, and dozens of other Broward cities. Every one of those goes through the same system.
Booking records for Pompano Beach include key details: the person's name, date of birth, booking date and time, all charges filed, bond amount, and a booking photo. The record also shows if the person has been released on bond, transferred, or is still in custody. This data is public under Florida law, and searching it costs nothing.
The Broward County criminal records division also handles requests for older arrest and booking data. If you need records that go beyond what the online inmate search shows, this office can help with formal records requests.
The Florida Statutes Chapter 119 shown above outlines the public records law that governs access to Pompano Beach and all Florida booking records.
Note: Booking records are typically updated every 24 hours on the Broward County site.
Pompano Beach Booking Records and Florida Law
Florida has broad public records laws that cover Pompano Beach booking data. Under Florida Statute 119.01, all state, county, and city records are open for public inspection. Booking records held by the Broward County Sheriff's Office are included. You can search them without giving a reason or showing ID.
Florida Statute 119.07 spells out the right to inspect and copy records. Online searches are free. Paper copies may carry a small fee. If the Broward County Sheriff's Office denies a records request, they must cite a specific legal exemption. For Pompano Beach booking records, there are very few reasons a request would be denied.
Active criminal investigations are one exception. Under Florida Statute 119.071(2)(c), some details can be held back while a case is open. The core booking info like name, date, and charges stays public. Once the investigation wraps up, the full record opens.
Juvenile records are confidential. Under Florida Statute 985.04, arrest and booking data for people under 18 is not available through the public inmate search. You need a court order to access juvenile booking records from Pompano Beach or any Florida city.
Under Florida Statute 901.43, charging a fee to remove a booking photo is illegal. This protects people arrested in Pompano Beach from mugshot removal scams run by third-party websites.
State Systems for Pompano Beach Arrest Data
Two state systems go beyond the Broward County portal for Pompano Beach booking data. The Florida Jail Information System holds over 22 million records and updates hourly. You can search for people booked within the last 24, 48, or 72 hours at any participating jail in the state. The Broward County Jail feeds into this system, so Pompano Beach arrests show up.
The FDLE criminal history records database is the state's central repository. A search through CCHInet costs $24 and covers all 67 Florida counties. This goes far beyond the 72 hour window. The Florida Department of State jail directory lists inmate search links for every county in the state.
