Miami-Dade Booking Record Contents

Each entry in the Miami-Dade County 72 hour booking report contains a set of standard data fields. These fields give you a full picture of the arrest and initial processing at the jail. The data is generated when jail staff book someone into the system and gets pushed to the online portal shortly after.

A Miami-Dade County booking record typically includes:

• Full name and date of birth
• Booking number and booking date with time
• All charges filed at arrest
• Arresting agency (Miami PD, Hialeah PD, etc.)
• Bond amount and custody status
• Facility location

Because Miami-Dade County is so large, multiple agencies make arrests that feed into the same booking system. Miami Police, Hialeah Police, Miami Gardens Police, and other city departments all send arrested people to the county jail. The arresting agency field on the booking record tells you which department made the arrest. This helps sort out cases when you are looking through the 72 hour report for Miami-Dade County.
