Deerfield Beach Arrest Records
Deerfield Beach booking reports are managed by the Broward Sheriff's Office. Deerfield Beach is in the northeast corner of Broward County with about 90,500 residents. It sits right on the border with Palm Beach County. All arrests in the city lead to booking at a BSO jail facility. The Broward Sheriff's Office keeps these booking records and provides free online search tools that show arrest details, charges, and booking information for anyone processed through the county system.
Deerfield Beach Quick Facts
Deerfield Beach Booking System
BSO operates four jail facilities in Broward County. The Main Jail Bureau at 555 SE 1st Avenue in Fort Lauderdale is the primary intake point. The Joseph V. Conte Facility, the North Broward Bureau, and the Paul Rein Detention Facility are all in Pompano Beach, which is close to Deerfield Beach. Any of these facilities may process a booking from a Deerfield Beach arrest.
The BSO handles bookings for all cities in Broward County. Deerfield Beach has its own law enforcement through the BSO district that serves the city. When an arrest happens, the person goes to a BSO jail for processing. Staff fingerprint the person, take a booking photo, and enter the charges into the system. The booking report that gets created is a public record from that point forward.

Search Deerfield Beach Booking Records
BSO runs two free online tools for finding booking reports from Deerfield Beach arrests. Both cover all of Broward County. You do not need to create an account or pay anything to use them.
The Broward Arrest Search is a name-based tool. Enter a last name, first name, or both, plus a booking date if you know it. The search returns results that include the holding facility, arrest number, charges, bail and bond records, custody info, court data, and release details. Booking photos are often available through this tool. It covers current inmates and recent releases from Deerfield Beach and all other Broward cities.
The image above shows the BSO arrest search page where you can look up Deerfield Beach booking records. If you cannot find the person you need, try the booking blotter or call (800) 224-5937.
The Broward Booking Blotter displays a list of recent bookings from across the county. Deerfield Beach arrests show up alongside bookings from Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and all other Broward cities. You can filter by date. This is useful when you want to see who was booked recently without knowing a specific name.
The booking blotter from bookingblotter.sheriff.org is shown above. It lists recent bookings from all Broward County cities, including Deerfield Beach.
Deerfield Beach Records and Florida Law
Booking reports from Deerfield Beach are public records. Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes makes all government records open for inspection and copying by any person. This includes booking reports from every city in Florida. Anyone can request a copy of a Deerfield Beach booking report at any reasonable time. No reason is needed. No ID is required for a basic public records request.
Some booking details are exempt. Chapter 943 keeps juvenile records private unless the person was charged with a felony-level crime. Medical information, mental health records, personal identifiers like Social Security numbers, and victim or witness data do not appear in the public version of the booking report. Records that have been sealed or expunged by a court order will not come up in any search for Deerfield Beach arrests.
Note: BSO must respond to public records requests promptly under Florida law.
Deerfield Beach Booking Photos
A booking photo gets taken at intake. Every person booked after a Deerfield Beach arrest has one on file with BSO. The photo is typically part of the public record and may appear in the arrest search results or booking blotter.
Third-party websites sometimes gather and post these photos. Florida Statute 901.43 makes it illegal for a for-profit site to charge someone money to take down their booking photo. Send a written request to the site, and they have 10 days to remove it. If they do not, you can file a civil action with a penalty of $1,000 per day. If the site takes the photo down and then posts it again, the fine jumps to $5,000 per day. This law covers Deerfield Beach booking photos and all others in Florida.
