Search Pembroke Pines Booking Reports Online
The Broward Sheriff's Office runs two main online tools for looking up booking reports. Both are free to use. You do not need to create an account or pay a fee. These cover all arrests in Pembroke Pines and every other city in Broward County.
The BSO Arrest Search lets you look up people who have been detained. You can search by last name, first name, and booking date. The results show the holding facility, arrest number, charges, bail and bond info, and mugshot. This is the fastest way to find booking reports for someone arrested in Pembroke Pines. The search covers current and recent bookings across all Broward County facilities.
The BSO Booking Blotter shows recent bookings in a list format. It updates throughout the day and gives you a quick way to see who was booked in Pembroke Pines and the rest of Broward County. The blotter shows the person's name, booking date, charges, and facility. This tool is good for checking recent arrests without needing a specific name.
Note: Juvenile records, sealed cases, and expunged records will not show up in either search tool.
Pembroke Pines Records and Florida Law
Florida has strong public records laws. Booking reports are public records under Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes. This means anyone can ask to see them. You do not need a reason. The law says all state, county, and municipal records are open for personal inspection and copying by any person. This applies to booking reports in Pembroke Pines the same way it does everywhere else in Florida.
There are some limits. Medical and mental health records tied to a booking are not public. The same goes for victim and witness data in certain cases. Under Chapter 943, criminal justice info on juveniles stays private unless the charge is a felony-level offense. If a record has been sealed or expunged by a court, it will not appear in public searches for Pembroke Pines booking reports.
Booking photos have their own rules in Florida. Under Florida Statute 901.43, it is against the law for websites to charge money to take down a booking photo. If a site publishes your photo and asks for payment to remove it, you can send a written request. They must take it down within 10 days. If they refuse, the civil penalty is $1,000 per day. That goes up to $5,000 per day if they put it back up after removing it.
Broward Jail System for Pembroke Pines
The BSO Department of Detention runs all jail operations in Broward County. This is the department that handles intake, housing, and release for people booked from Pembroke Pines. The department runs four facilities with a combined capacity that makes it one of the largest jail systems in Florida.
When someone is arrested in Pembroke Pines, they are taken to one of these facilities for booking. The process creates a booking report that includes the person's name, date of birth, charges, arresting agency, booking date, and mugshot. Bond info gets added once a judge sets it. All of this becomes part of the public record that you can search online or request in person at the Records and Warrants Division.
The BSO booking process also captures fingerprints and other data as required by Florida Statute 943.051. Adults charged with felonies or misdemeanors must have their fingerprints, palm prints, and facial images captured and sent to the state database. This applies to all Pembroke Pines arrests.
Statewide Booking Report Tools
Beyond the BSO search, Florida offers state-level databases that may have records for people who were arrested in Pembroke Pines and then transferred to state custody.
The Florida Department of Corrections Inmate Search covers all state prison inmates. It searches across five databases at once: Absconder/Fugitive, Inmate Escapes, Inmate Population, Inmate Releases, and Supervised Population. The data refreshes completely each week, with release dates and location changes updated nightly. If someone from Pembroke Pines was sentenced to state prison, their record will show up here. Call (850) 488-9859 for help with inmate population questions.
The Florida Department of State County Jails List is a master directory of all 67 county jails with links to their search portals. It is a good starting point if you are not sure which county handled a booking. The FDLE Sexual Offender Search is another state database that may be relevant in some cases. You can reach FDLE at (850) 410-7000.
