How to Search for Largo Released Inmates

Use the "Who is in Jail" inmate locator at pinellassheriff.gov/who-is-in-jail to search for people arrested in Largo. This tool shows current inmates and anyone released within the last 30 days. You can search by name, alias, booking date, or address. You can also filter by race, sex, docket number, agency, charge, or arrest type.

When you find a match, the system shows the person's booking information, charges, bond amount, and custody status. If the person is no longer in jail, the search results show the release date. For people released more than 30 days ago, you need to use the Records Request Portal instead of the online inmate locator.

For questions about an inmate's current status, call the jail at 727-464-6415 and dial 0 for the receptionist. Staff can tell you if someone is still in custody, when they were released, or when they are scheduled for release. They can also provide information about bond amounts and court dates for current inmates.

Florida Public Records Law

Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes is the Public Records Act. This law requires government agencies to provide access to most records, including jail records. The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office follows this law when releasing inmate information.

Section 945.10 lists exemptions for confidential information. Medical records, mental health files, and substance abuse treatment records cannot be released without consent. Victim statements and witness protection information stay confidential. Most booking and release information is public, but some details may be redacted under these exemptions.

Sealing or Expunging Records

Florida law allows you to seal or expunge criminal records under certain conditions. Fla. Stat. Section 943.0585 covers expungement. Fla. Stat. Section 943.059 covers sealing. You may be eligible for expungement if charges were dismissed, dropped, or never filed. You may be eligible for sealing if adjudication was withheld, depending on the charge.

To start the process, apply for a Certificate of Eligibility through FDLE. You must submit fingerprints and pay a $75 processing fee. After receiving the certificate, file a petition with the Pinellas County Circuit Court. If the court approves, the record is removed from public access. Court orders require removal from official sources. Private background-check sites may need separate removal requests. Use Google's "Remove Outdated Content" tool to request removal from search results.

County Jail vs State Prison

The Pinellas County jail is separate from the Florida Department of Corrections. County jails hold people awaiting trial or serving sentences of less than one year. State prisons hold people convicted of felonies and sentenced to longer terms. If someone from Largo gets sent to state prison, they leave the county system.
