Duval County Booking Report Search

Duval County booking reports are managed by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, which serves as both the city and county law enforcement agency. Jacksonville and Duval County have a consolidated government, so one office handles all arrests for the entire area. The JSO inmate search tool lets you look up current and past booking reports by name, jail number, or JSO ID. Records update every 30 minutes and stay online for 90 days after release. With over one million residents, Duval County processes a high volume of booking reports each day.

Duval County has a consolidated city-county government. That means the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office serves as both the city police and the county sheriff. There is no separate city jail or county jail. All arrests in the entire county go through JSO, and all booking reports are created by this one agency. This makes it simple to search for records. You only need to check one place.

JSO runs three jail facilities in Duval County. The John E. Goode Pre-Trial Detention Facility at 500 E. Adams Street is the main jail. This is where most people get booked after an arrest. The Montgomery Correctional Center at 4727 Lannie Road holds sentenced inmates. The Community Transition Center at 451 Catherine Street serves inmates near the end of their sentences. All three feed into the same booking report system.

How to Search Duval County Booking Reports

The JSO Inmate Information Search is the fastest way to find booking reports in Duval County. This free tool lets you search by first name, last name, jail number, or JSO ID. Results show the person's charges, bond amount, housing location, and next court date. Booking photos are also available. The database updates every 30 minutes, so new arrests show up fast.

One thing that makes Duval County's system stand out is that booking data stays online after someone gets released. The information remains on the website for 90 days after release. This is useful if you are trying to find out about a recent arrest and the person already posted bond or finished their sentence. Many counties remove records as soon as the person leaves custody, but Duval keeps them up for three months.

JSO also publishes a Public In Sheet Report. This shows all new bookings that have come in. It is a good way to see the latest arrests in Duval County without having to search name by name. You can access this from the JSO inmate resources page.

Duval County Booking Record Laws

Booking reports in Duval County are public records under Florida Statute Chapter 119. The law says all state, county, and municipal records are open for inspection by any person. You do not need to be a lawyer, a family member, or have any special status to see these records. The law covers documents, photographs, data processing software, and any other material made in connection with official business.

JSO follows these rules and makes most booking data available through its online search. However, some records are restricted. Juvenile booking reports are not public unless the minor was charged with a serious felony. Medical and mental health files from the jail are private. Victim and witness data stays sealed. Cases that have been expunged or sealed by a court also come off the public search. Chapter 943 requires that criminal justice agencies collect fingerprints and facial images for all adults charged with felonies or misdemeanors, and it governs how that data can be shared.

Florida also limits what can be done with booking photos. Under Section 901.43, it is illegal to demand payment to remove a booking photo from a website. If a written removal request is ignored for more than 10 days, the person in the photo can sue for $1,000 per day. The fine jumps to $5,000 per day if the photo gets put back up.

Note: Duval County booking records are among the most complete in the state because of the consolidated government structure.
