Pompano Beach Quick Facts
Pompano Beach Arrest Records
Pompano Beach has a unique position in the Broward County jail system. Three of BSO's four detention facilities are located right in the city. The Joseph V. Conte Facility at 1351 NW 27th Avenue, the North Broward Bureau at 1550 NW 30th Avenue, and the Paul Rein Detention Facility at 2421 NW 16 Street are all in Pompano Beach. The fourth site, the Main Jail Bureau, is at 555 SE 1st Avenue in Fort Lauderdale.
Despite having these facilities within city limits, Pompano Beach does not run any of them. The BSO manages all four as part of the county-wide jail system. When someone is arrested in Pompano Beach, they go to one of these facilities for booking. The arresting agency could be the Pompano Beach Police Department, BSO deputies, or any other law enforcement with jurisdiction in the area. The booking report is created in the BSO system no matter who makes the arrest.

Search Pompano Beach Booking Reports
BSO runs two free online tools for searching booking reports. Both cover all of Broward County, including Pompano Beach.
Use the BSO Arrest Search to find a specific person. Enter a last name and first name, then pick a booking date range if you want to narrow it down. Results include charges, arrest number, holding facility, bail and bond info, mugshot, and custody status. This is the fastest way to find a Pompano Beach booking report online.
The BSO Booking Blotter lists recent bookings across the county. It updates throughout the day and shows the name, charges, and booking date for each entry. Good for browsing recent Pompano Beach arrests without a specific name in mind. The blotter gives you a quick look at what happened over the last day or two.
Pompano Beach Records and Florida Law
Booking reports from Pompano Beach are public records under Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes. The law makes all state, county, and municipal records open for inspection and copying by any person. You do not need a reason. The custodian must permit access at a reasonable time and under reasonable conditions. Fees can be charged for copies but not for simply viewing records.
Some parts of a booking record are exempt from public access. Mental health and medical records from a jail stay are not released. Juvenile criminal justice information is private under Chapter 943 unless the charges are felony-level. Sealed and expunged records do not appear in any search result. Everything else in a Pompano Beach booking report is available to the public.
Florida law gives added protection for mugshots. Under Statute 901.43, for-profit websites cannot demand money to remove your booking photo. Send a written request and they have 10 days to take it down. After that, fines of $1,000 per day apply. That figure jumps to $5,000 per day if they repost the photo.

The booking report also captures the person's name, charges, arresting agency, mugshot, and bond details once they are set.
