Volusia County 24 hour booking records are managed by Volusia County Corrections, based in Daytona Beach. The corrections division handles the intake, detention, and release of all persons arrested within the county.

Volusia County Booking Records and Inmate Search

Volusia County Corrections provides an inmate search tool through the county's official website. You can look up anyone currently held at the Volusia County Branch Jail by entering a name. The results display booking details, including charges, bond amounts, and the date the person was brought in. The system draws from the same data that corrections staff work with daily.

What makes Volusia County a bit different from many Florida counties is that the corrections division operates as a county department rather than falling under the sheriff's office. The Volusia County Branch Jail at 1300 Red John Road in Daytona Beach is the main booking facility. The corrections division is responsible for processing every person arrested in the county, from the moment they arrive at the jail through their eventual release. This central approach means one search tool covers all bookings, no matter which agency made the arrest.

The data updates as bookings are processed. For the most current info on a recent arrest, call Volusia County Corrections at 386-254-1555. Staff can check their system and tell you whether someone is in custody right now.

Volusia County Arrest and Booking Details

After an arrest in Volusia County, the person is transported to the Branch Jail for intake. The booking process starts with recording the person's name, date of birth, and physical description. Officers take a photo and collect fingerprints. All charges are entered into the system. Bond is set based on a schedule or by a judge's order. This creates the booking record that becomes part of the public file.

Multiple law enforcement agencies operate throughout Volusia County. The Volusia County Sheriff's Office covers the unincorporated areas. Daytona Beach has a large police department. Deltona, DeLand, Ormond Beach, New Smyrna Beach, Port Orange, and several other cities all have their own police forces. Every one of these agencies brings their arrests to the same county jail. That is why the inmate search covers the entire county in one place. You can see the arresting agency in each booking record, which tells you who made the arrest.

Volusia County sees a high volume of bookings compared to many Florida counties. The Daytona Beach area draws large crowds for events like Bike Week, the Daytona 500, and spring break. These events can lead to a spike in arrests and bookings. The corrections system handles all of it through the same process. Whether the arrest happens during a major event or on an ordinary Tuesday, the booking goes through the Branch Jail.

Public Records Law and Volusia County 24 Hour Bookings

Florida's Sunshine Law gives broad public access to government records. Section 119.011 defines public records to include virtually any document created or received by a government agency. Booking records fit that definition without question. Volusia County Corrections must make them available, and the online search tool is how they do it.

Some records have limits. Sealed or expunged records will not show up. Juvenile cases are kept separate from the adult roster. Certain personal details may be held back under Section 119.071, which covers exemptions for Social Security numbers, bank account information, and other sensitive data. The core booking information, name, charges, dates, bond, stays public for all adults processed through the Volusia County jail.

Under Section 901.243, anyone booked into a jail has the right to make phone calls within a reasonable time after the process is complete. This applies at the Volusia County Branch Jail just as it does at every other county facility in Florida.

The FDLE also keeps statewide criminal history data. You can run a check through the FDLE Criminal History portal, which costs $24 per search under Section 943.053. The FDLE website has more on how to use their system. For quick, free checks of recent Volusia County bookings, the county's own search tool is the fastest route.

A booking record shows an arrest, not a conviction. The court process decides guilt or innocence. Charges can be dropped, reduced, or result in acquittal. The booking entry is a record of what happened at the time of arrest.
