Daytona Beach Arrest Records

Daytona Beach 24 hour booking records are maintained by both the Daytona Beach Police Department and Volusia County Corrections. The city sits in Volusia County, and all people arrested by the Daytona Beach PD end up at the Volusia County Branch Jail or the main correctional facility. Volusia County runs a public mugshot search tool that lets you look up recent bookings at no cost. The Daytona Beach PD also publishes arrest data through its own records page, so there are two ways to check on recent booking activity in the city. Florida's public records law keeps this data open to all, and you can search it any time of day.

Daytona Beach Booking Records and Search Tools

The main portal for checking recent bookings in Daytona Beach is the Volusia County Mugshot Search. This tool is run by Volusia County government and shows photos, charges, and booking dates for people held in county facilities. You can search by name, date range, or browse the full list of recent entries. It is free and open to the public.

Daytona Beach PD also provides arrest data through its records page. The Records Unit at the department keeps offense reports, supplemental reports, accident reports, and arrest reports. If you need a copy of a specific arrest report, you can request one from the PD directly. The online mugshot tool through the county is faster for quick lookups, but the PD records page is useful when you need the full report rather than just booking info.

Both systems update through the day. For a very recent arrest, the county mugshot tool tends to show new entries fairly quickly. If you need to confirm something right away, call the Volusia County jail at 386-254-1555 or the Daytona Beach PD at 386-671-5100.

How Daytona Beach Arrest Records Are Created

When someone is arrested in Daytona Beach, the process starts with the Daytona Beach Police Department. Officers make the arrest and transport the person to the Volusia County Branch Jail. Booking takes place there. Staff collect fingerprints, take a photo, and log the charges. This creates the booking record that shows up in the public system.

The Daytona Beach PD is not the only agency that books people into the county jail. The Volusia County Sheriff's Office, the Florida Highway Patrol, and other local agencies all use the same facility. So if you search the county mugshot tool, you will see arrests from across Volusia County, not just Daytona Beach. Each record shows which agency made the arrest, so you can filter by that if you are only looking at city cases.

Florida law is direct about public access to these records. Section 119.07 of the Florida Statutes says every person has a right to inspect and copy public records. Booking data is public. The county and the police department both must make it available when asked.

There are narrow exceptions. Sealed or expunged records will not show up. Juvenile arrests are handled separately. Active investigation details may be withheld under Section 119.071. But standard adult booking records are open.

Daytona Beach PD Records Unit

The Daytona Beach Police Department operates a Records Unit that handles all documentation related to arrests and incidents. This unit maintains offense reports, supplemental reports, accident reports, and arrest reports. You can reach the department at its main location: 129 Valor Blvd, Daytona Beach, FL 32114. The phone number is 386-671-5100.

If you want a formal copy of an arrest report, contact the Records Unit directly. You may also be able to get records through the State Attorney's Office for the 7th Judicial Circuit. The SAO can be reached at (386) 239-7710 for questions about case status and charging decisions after an arrest has been made.

The Daytona Beach PD arrest records page provides access to recent arrest data and report request info.

Section 119.011 defines public records broadly in Florida. Any material made or received by an agency in the course of official business counts. Arrest reports, booking sheets, and charge documents all fall within that scope. The PD must provide them when you ask, though they can charge a small fee for copies.

Daytona Beach Booking Rights and Legal Notes

People booked in Daytona Beach have the right to make phone calls within a reasonable time after the process. This right is set out in Section 901.243 of Florida law. It applies no matter which agency made the arrest.

The FDLE also keeps statewide criminal history records. You can run a background check through the FDLE Criminal History portal, which costs $24 per search under Section 943.053. For quick 24 hour booking checks in Daytona Beach, the free county mugshot tool is the better option.

A booking record does not mean someone is guilty. It shows that a person was arrested and charged. The court system decides what happens after that. Charges can be dropped or reduced. A not guilty verdict is always possible. The booking record exists regardless of the outcome, but it is not proof that a crime was committed. Keep that in mind when reviewing the data.
