How to Search Deerfield Beach Inmate Records
The arrest search portal is the main tool for finding Deerfield Beach inmates. Go to the Broward Sheriff's Office website. Click on the arrest search link. You see a simple form. Enter the last name and first name of the person you want to find. The search returns all matches in the system. If the name is common, you might get several results. Look at the booking date and charges to find the right person.
Each result shows basic info like name, booking number, and booking date. Click on the name to see full details. This opens a new page with the inmate's photo, age, charges, bond amount, and facility location. You can see if they are still in custody or if they were released. The system does not always say why someone was released. For that, you may need to call the records unit at (954) 831-8700.
The release log is another useful tool. It lists everyone released from Broward County jails each day. You see the date, booking number, last name, and first name. This helps you track recent releases from Deerfield Beach. If someone was let go today or yesterday, they show up on this log. The log does not have photos or detailed info. It just confirms the release happened.
For inmates who went to state prison, you need the Florida Department of Corrections database. That system is at pubapps.fdc.myflorida.com. It tracks felony offenders sent to state custody. It does not include county jail inmates from Deerfield Beach. Use it only if you know the person was sentenced to state prison instead of county jail.
Released Inmate Info
When a Deerfield Beach inmate is released, the sheriff updates the record. Most releases happen for one of a few reasons. Bond posted means they paid money to get out while awaiting trial. Time served means their sentence matched the days they already spent in jail. Case dismissed means charges were dropped. Released on recognizance means they promised to return to court without paying bond. Transfer to state custody means they were sent to prison to serve a longer sentence.
The release log shows the date someone left jail. It does not always say why. If you need the reason, you can call the Broward Sheriff's Office Records/Warrants Division at (954) 831-8700. You can also check court records to see what happened after the arrest. The Broward County Clerk of Courts has a case search portal. Look up the person by name or case number. Court files show plea deals, trial results, and final outcomes for Deerfield Beach cases.
Public records law in Florida makes most inmate info available to the public. Chapter 119, Florida Statutes says government agencies must provide records unless the law exempts them. Inmate names, charges, and release dates are not exempt. You can look them up for free. Medical records, juvenile records, and victim statements are protected. But regular inmate data for Deerfield Beach adults is public.
Some information is not disclosed. Under Florida law, juvenile arrest and detention records are not public. If a minor was arrested in Deerfield Beach, their name and details are kept confidential. Medical and mental health records are also private under Section 945.10, Florida Statutes. Expunged or sealed records are removed from public access. Personal identifiers like Social Security numbers, fingerprints, and medical IDs are redacted for privacy.
Florida State Inmate Release Database
The Florida Department of Corrections runs a statewide database for all state prison inmates. This includes people from Deerfield Beach who were convicted of felonies and sent to state custody. The portal is at pubapps.fdc.myflorida.com/OffenderSearch/InmateInfoMenu.aspx. It has several search options. You can look up inmate population, release information, escapes, supervised offenders, and absconders. All these databases are in one place.
The Inmate Release Information Search updates every night. It shows people who have been released and those scheduled for release soon. You search by name or DC number. The DC number is a six-character ID the state assigns to each offender. If you have it, you get an exact match. If not, use the person's name. The system searches all names that start with the letters you type. This helps when you are not sure of the spelling for a Deerfield Beach inmate.
Results include current status, release date, supervision details, and special conditions. You see if they are on parole or probation. You see the original charges and sentence. Some records have photos. The database also tracks people who skipped supervision. If a Deerfield Beach inmate violated parole, they might be listed as an absconder. You can search that database too.
For questions about state releases, contact the Bureau of Admission and Release at (850) 488-9167 or email dc.release@fdc.myflorida.com. They handle all state inmate releases in Florida. County jails like Broward do not manage state inmates once they transfer to prison. The state takes full control at that point.
Note: The state database refreshes completely each week, with release dates and location changes updated nightly for all inmates.
