Osceola County is part of the greater Orlando metro area, located just south of Orange County. Kissimmee is the county seat. St. Cloud is the other main city. The county has grown fast over the past two decades, and the jail processes a significant volume of bookings each day. The arrest search tool keeps up with this pace by updating regularly as new bookings come through the system.

The Osceola County Sheriff's Office website provides access to the arrest search and other resources.

The sheriff's main site links to the arrest search, warrants, and other law enforcement resources for Osceola County.

How Osceola County Bookings Are Processed

The Osceola County jail is at 2601 East Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway in Kissimmee. This is where all bookings happen. When someone is arrested anywhere in Osceola County, they are brought to this facility for intake. The process follows the same steps used in every Florida county. Officers collect personal information, record the charges, take fingerprints, and capture a booking photo.

Several agencies make arrests in Osceola County. The sheriff's office covers the unincorporated areas. Kissimmee Police handles the city. St. Cloud Police covers St. Cloud. The Florida Highway Patrol operates on major roads. Even the Osceola County School District has its own police force. All of these agencies bring their arrests to the same jail. The booking record notes which agency made the arrest, so you can tell where the case originated.

Once the booking is complete, the data becomes a public record under Section 119.07 of the Florida Statutes. The sheriff's office must provide access to this information. The arrest search tool on their website is one of the ways they fulfill that requirement. You can also submit a formal public records request if you need copies of specific documents.

Anyone who is booked has the right to make phone calls. Section 901.243 of the Florida Statutes requires that arrested people be given a reasonable time to make calls after the booking process. This right applies to every person booked at the Osceola County jail.

Osceola County Records and Public Access Rights

Florida's Sunshine Law makes most government records open to the public. Booking records are not exempt. Section 119.011 defines a public record as any material made or received by an agency in connection with official business. That includes booking sheets, arrest reports, intake forms, and photographs. The definition is broad and applies to every county in the state.

You do not need to be an Osceola County resident to access these records. You do not need to give your name or explain why you want the information. The law says public records are open to any person. The sheriff's office cannot refuse access unless a specific exemption applies, and the exemptions are narrow.

Juvenile records are kept separate and are not public. Sealed and expunged records are removed from the system. Certain victim information may be withheld under Section 119.071. But standard adult booking data is fully accessible. You can view it online or request copies.

A booking is not a conviction. The arrest record shows that someone was brought in and charged. It does not mean they are guilty. The court process determines outcomes. Charges may be dropped, reduced, or lead to acquittal. The booking record documents what happened at intake. Nothing more.
