Brevard County 24 Hour Bookings

Brevard County 24 hour booking records are provided by the Brevard County Sheriff's Office through its online bookings database. The BCSO makes this tool available as a courtesy to the community. You can search by name, date range, or booking number to find recent arrest entries. Florida law classifies all booking records as public, so anyone can access this data at no charge. The jail can also be reached at 321-690-1500 for direct inquiries about current inmates.

Brevard County 24 Hour Booking Database Search

The Brevard County Sheriff's Office runs a public bookings database on its website. The BCSO describes this tool as a courtesy to the community. It is not meant to replace a formal public records request, but for quick lookups it works well. The database has several search fields that give you flexibility in how you look for records.

You can search by last name and first name. You can also enter a date range using the From and To date fields, which is useful if you want to see all bookings from a specific 24-hour period. There is also a Subject/Booking Number field. Booking numbers in Brevard County follow a format like YYYY-NNNNNNNN, where the first four digits are the year. If you already know the booking number, this is the fastest way to pull up a specific record.

The search is free. No login is needed. Results show the basic details for each booking, including the name, charges, and date of arrest. The tool works on any device. This is one of the more flexible county booking search tools in Florida because of the date range feature. Many counties only let you search by name, so the Brevard system gives you more options.

Here is the Brevard County booking search interface.

The search results display booking details including names, charges, and dates for people processed through the county jail.

How Brevard County Arrest Records Are Created

Brevard County stretches along Florida's east coast. It is a large county with multiple law enforcement agencies. The Brevard County Sheriff's Office covers the unincorporated areas. Cities like Palm Bay, Melbourne, Titusville, and Cocoa have their own police departments. But all arrests in the county go through the same booking process at the Brevard County jail.

When someone is arrested, they are brought to the jail at 700 Park Ave in Titusville. Officers collect the person's name, date of birth, and physical description. A booking photo is taken. Fingerprints are recorded. Charges are entered into the system. Bond is set. This process creates the booking record, and it becomes public under Section 119.07 of the Florida Statutes.

The BCSO notes that email addresses submitted through its systems are public records under Florida law. This applies to public records requests and other communications. Keep this in mind if you email the sheriff's office about a booking. Your email address may become part of the public file. The sheriff's general number is 321-264-5201 if you prefer to call instead.

Brevard County Records and Public Access Rights

Florida law is strong on public access. Section 119.011 defines public records broadly, and booking data falls well within that definition. You do not need to be a Brevard County resident to search these records. You do not need to provide a reason. The sheriff's office makes the data available online as a convenience, but you also have the legal right to request records through a formal public records request if you need official copies.

Some records are exempt from disclosure. Section 119.071 lists the specific exemptions. Sealed and expunged records will not appear in any search result. Juvenile cases are handled separately and are not on the public roster. For standard adult bookings in Brevard County, though, the data is fully open. You can see it online, ask about it by phone, or request copies in person.

A booking record is not proof of guilt. It shows that an arrest happened. The court system handles the rest. Charges can be reduced. Cases get dismissed. People are found not guilty at trial. The booking record captures one moment in the process, not the final outcome.

Anyone who is arrested and booked has the right to make phone calls under Section 901.243. This applies to all bookings in Brevard County and throughout the state.

Statewide Resources for Brevard County Searches

If you need to go beyond what the Brevard County booking tool shows, statewide resources can help. The FDLE Criminal History portal runs background checks that pull records from all Florida counties. Each check costs $24 under Section 943.053. This is the way to go if you want a full criminal history report, not just the most recent bookings.

The Florida Department of State directory lists jail search links for all 67 Florida counties. Brevard is listed there. If the sheriff's website changes its URL, this directory can point you to the updated link. The FDLE main website also has information about criminal justice services and resources at the state level.

The BCSO website is the main hub for all sheriff services, including the booking database, community programs, and contact details for various divisions.
