Sunrise Booking Records Search

Sunrise 24 hour booking records are processed at the Broward County jail. The Sunrise Police Department makes arrests in the city, but all booking and detention is handled by the Broward Sheriff's Office. BSO provides a free arrest search tool that covers every agency in the county. You can find recent bookings, check charges, and see bond amounts without paying anything. Florida's public records law keeps this data open to all, and the search tool runs day and night.

Sunrise Arrest Records and Inmate Lookup

The Sunrise Police Department patrols the city and handles all local law enforcement. When officers arrest someone, the person is taken to the Broward County main detention facility for booking. Sunrise does not run its own jail. Everything goes through the county system.

To search for someone booked after a Sunrise arrest, use the BSO Arrest Search portal. Enter a name and the tool returns matching records from across Broward County. Each result lists the charges, bond amount, booking date, and whether the person is still in custody. The arresting agency is also shown, so you can look for "Sunrise PD" in the results.

The system includes bookings from every law enforcement agency in Broward County. That means arrests from Fort Lauderdale, Plantation, Coral Springs, and all other local departments show up in the same search. If you know an arrest happened in the county but are not sure which city, this tool covers them all in one place.

How Sunrise Bookings Are Handled

After a Sunrise PD arrest, officers transport the person to the Broward County jail. Staff there handle the booking process. They take fingerprints and a mugshot. Charges are logged and personal information is recorded. If the charges carry a bond, it gets set during this stage. The data then goes into the public system.

How long this takes depends on the jail. Busy nights can mean longer wait times. Most bookings finish within a few hours. If you are trying to find someone right after an arrest, the record may not appear in the search tool immediately. Call the jail at 954-831-5900 for real-time status updates.

The FDLE Criminal History Record Check page is shown below for reference.

The FDLE provides statewide criminal history checks that complement the county-level booking search.

Section 119.07 of the Florida Statutes makes booking records public. You can view them freely. No login, no fee, no explanation needed. The law is direct. Every person has the right to inspect and copy public records, and booking data falls squarely within that category.

Sunrise Records and Florida Public Access Rules

Section 119.011 defines what qualifies as a public record in Florida. The definition is broad. It includes any material created or received by a government agency in the course of official business. Booking sheets, arrest reports, charge documents, and mugshots are all public records under this law.

A few types of records are exempt. Section 119.071 lists the exemptions. Sealed and expunged records do not show. Juvenile cases go through a different system. Active investigation files may be temporarily withheld. But regular adult bookings from Sunrise arrests are available to the public.

An arrest does not prove guilt. The booking record shows someone was taken into custody and charged. Courts decide the outcome. Charges can be dropped or reduced, and the person may be found not guilty. The booking record remains in the system either way.

If you need certified copies or documents not available through the BSO online tool, submit a public records request to the Broward Sheriff's Office. A small copy fee may apply, but viewing data online is free.
