How booking works in Broward County
A person arrested in Fort Lauderdale or elsewhere in Broward County is booked into a jail run by the Broward Sheriff's Office. The Sheriff's Office publishes arrests through its Arrest Search, where an entry includes the booking photograph. The Clerk of Courts keeps the criminal case.
An arrest is not a conviction. Charges may have been dropped, dismissed or resulted in acquittal.
What Florida law says about booking photos
Florida treats booking records as public records, and the Arrest Search of the Broward Sheriff's Office shows a booking photograph with the arrest entry. The rules for publishers of booking photos are set out on the Florida page.
Booking photos appear only where state law allows commercial display and the source provides them.
Search a name in Broward County
The Arrest Search of the Broward Sheriff's Office returns the arrest entry with its booking photograph, and the Case Search of the Clerk of Courts shows how the case went. Both cover Broward County only. An arrest in Miami-Dade, Palm Beach or Collier County is booked by that county. If you do not know the county, search the name with the state set to Florida. The full report shows the records it finds, each with its source and date.
