How Miramar 24 Hour Bookings Get Processed
A Miramar police officer makes an arrest. The person is transported to the Broward County jail. Intake staff take over from there. They collect the person's name, date of birth, height, weight, and other physical details. A photo goes into the system. Fingerprints are recorded. All charges are entered and bond is set.
This creates the booking record. It is public under Section 119.07 of the Florida Statutes. The law says government agencies must make these records available. The BSO puts them online for convenience. You can also get the info by phone or in person if you prefer.
Miramar PD is one of dozens of agencies that book into the Broward County jail. The arresting agency field in the booking record shows which department handled the arrest. Look for "Miramar" or "MPD" in that field. This makes it easy to find Miramar-specific arrests even though the records sit in a countywide database.
Under Section 901.243, booked persons have the right to make phone calls within a reasonable time after processing. If you are waiting for a call from someone arrested in Miramar, they should be able to contact you once booking wraps up.
Miramar Booking Data and Public Records Law
Florida's Sunshine Law covers booking records without question. Under Section 119.011, public records include materials created by an agency during its official duties. Booking data is created during an official law enforcement process, so it counts.
Some info is held back. Sealed and expunged records do not show in search results. Juvenile cases are in a different system. Parts of active investigations may be exempt under Section 119.071. For most adult arrests in Miramar, though, the basic booking info is right there for you to view. Names, charges, bond amounts, and dates are all open.
An arrest record is not a conviction. It shows that someone was picked up and charged. Courts decide the rest. Charges can get dropped. People are found not guilty sometimes. The booking record stays in the system either way, but it only shows what happened at the time of arrest.
The FDLE Criminal History portal runs statewide background checks for $24 per search under Section 943.053. For a quick check on someone recently booked from Miramar, the free BSO tool is the easier option.
