Find Davie 24 Hour Booking Records
Davie 24 hour booking records are processed through the Broward County jail system. The Davie Police Department handles arrests within the town, but all booking and detention happens at the Broward Sheriff's Office main jail in Fort Lauderdale.

Florida's public records law makes this data available to anyone at no cost, and the system works around the clock.
Davie Quick Facts
Davie Arrest Records and Inmate Lookup
The Davie Police Department is responsible for law enforcement in the Town of Davie. Officers respond to calls, investigate crimes, and make arrests. But Davie does not have its own jail. Once an arrest is made, the person is transported to the Broward County main detention facility for booking.
You can search for anyone booked into Broward County through the BSO Arrest Search tool. The portal lets you search by name and pulls up all current and recent bookings. Each result shows the person's charges, bond amount, booking date, and custody status. The arresting agency is listed too, so you can tell if the Davie PD made the arrest or if it was another Broward County agency.
The system covers every agency that books into the Broward jail. Fort Lauderdale PD, Hollywood PD, Pembroke Pines PD, and dozens of other departments all feed into the same system. This makes the BSO search tool a one-stop resource for Davie booking lookups and all of Broward County.
How Davie Booking Records Are Created
After an arrest in Davie, officers bring the person to the Broward County jail. Staff take fingerprints and a photo. They record the charges and enter personal details into the system. A bond amount may be set depending on the charges. This entire process creates the booking record that shows up on the public search tool.

The department oversees policing in Davie but relies on BSO for jail operations.
Under Section 119.07 of the Florida Statutes, these records are open to the public. Anyone can view them. You do not need to give a reason or show ID. The law says that every person has the right to inspect and copy public records, and booking data is included in that.
Section 119.011 lays out the definition of a public record in Florida. It covers any document, tape, photograph, or other material created or received during official agency business. Booking sheets, arrest reports, and mugshots all qualify.
Davie 24 Hour Booking Records and Public Access Rights
Most booking records in Davie are fully public. The exceptions are slim. Sealed and expunged records will not appear in the search. Juvenile arrests are handled through a separate process and are not on the adult roster. Under Section 119.071, certain law enforcement records tied to active investigations may also be withheld temporarily.
For everything else, the data is there. You can see who was booked, when, and what they were charged with. Bond amounts are listed. Custody status tells you if the person is still in jail or has been released. This info is useful for family members trying to find someone, attorneys working a case, or anyone else with a reason to look.
Remember that an arrest is not the same as a conviction. A booking record means someone was taken in and charged. The courts handle the rest. Many cases end in reduced charges, plea deals, or acquittals. The booking record stays in the system regardless.
