Statewide Booking Tools for Hamilton County

The Florida Jail Information System (FJIS) pulls booking data from jails across the state, including Hamilton County. This system has more than 22 million records and grows by about 500,000 each month. It refreshes every hour. If you want to search beyond just Hamilton County, FJIS lets you look at multiple facilities at once. You can filter by the last 24, 48, or 72 hours. The system also runs a smart search that catches similar names and small typos, which helps when exact spelling is unknown.

The FDLE criminal history records page gives access to a deeper search. Through CCHInet, you can run a statewide background check for $24 per name. This covers more than just the past 72 hours. It pulls criminal history from every county in Florida. If you need records older than three days from Hamilton County, this is the tool to use.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement serves as the central repository for all criminal history information in the state, which includes Hamilton County arrest and booking records.

Hamilton County Booking Record Laws

Florida's public records law applies to every booking record in Hamilton County. Florida Statute 119.01 sets the baseline: all records made by government agencies are open to the public. No one can refuse to show you a Hamilton County booking record just because you are not involved in the case. The law does not ask for your reason.

Florida Statute 901.43 covers booking photos. It says no one can demand money to take down a booking photo that was posted as a public record. This is meant to stop mugshot removal scams. If a site asks you to pay to remove a Hamilton County mugshot, they may be breaking Florida law. The statute protects people from having their arrest photos exploited for profit.

Some records are exempt from public access. Florida Statute 119.071(2)(c) allows law enforcement to hold back certain details from an active investigation. And Florida Statute 985.04 keeps juvenile arrest records private. If someone under age 18 is booked in Hamilton County, that information stays out of the public 72 hour report. These are narrow exceptions, and the vast majority of adult booking records are fully open to the public.

For a broader search of Hamilton County records beyond the 72 hour window, the statewide CCHInet system at cchinet.fdle.state.fl.us gives access to the full criminal history database.
