Statewide Booking Resources for Glades County

Beyond the local sheriff's website, there are state-level tools that can help you find booking records connected to Glades County. The Florida Jail Information System (FJIS) is run by the Florida Sheriffs Association. It holds more than 22 million booking records from jails across the state. The system gets new data every hour, and you can search for people booked in the last 24, 48, or 72 hours. This is mainly a tool for criminal justice agencies, but the data that feeds it comes from county jails like the one in Glades County.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement also plays a role. FDLE's criminal history records page connects to the Computerized Criminal History (CCH) system. A self-service search through CCHInet costs $24 per name. This gives you a broader look than just the 72 hour window. It pulls from records across all Florida counties, not just Glades. If you need a full criminal history and not just recent bookings, this is the way to go.

The Glades County Sheriff's Office provides the booking reports page along with their inmate search portal from their main site. The Florida Jail Information System can search for offenders across multiple facilities at once, which is helpful if you are not sure which county handled an arrest.

This statewide database pulls from participating sheriff's offices, including Glades County, and refreshes its data on a regular basis throughout the day.

Glades County Booking Record Laws

Several Florida statutes control how booking records work in Glades County. Florida Statute 119.01 sets the general rule that all government records are open to the public. This covers everything from arrest logs to booking photos. The law does not require you to state who you are or why you want to see a record. It applies to Glades County the same as every other county in the state.

Florida Statute 901.43 deals with arrest booking photos specifically. It says that no one can charge a fee to take down a booking photo that was lawfully posted. This protects people from "mugshot removal" scams. If you see a Glades County booking photo on a site that asks for money to take it down, that may break this law. Booking photos are public under Florida's open records rules, but the law draws a line at exploiting them for profit.

There are limits to what you can get. Florida Statute 119.071(2)(c) says that certain law enforcement information can be kept from the public. Active investigation details, for instance, may not be part of what you see in a booking record. And Florida Statute 985.04 protects juvenile records. If someone under 18 is booked in Glades County, their record will not show up in the public 72 hour report.

You can read the full text of these statutes on the FDLE public records page or through the Florida Legislature's website.
