Why This Guide Exists
Florida public-records law, including section 119.07, provides access to many records, subject to exemptions and redactions. Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation maintains county booking and custody information, an arresting agency such as the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office holds its originating report, the Clerk tracks the court case, and the Florida Department of Corrections covers state custody. We explain how those systems fit together and where a focused records request belongs.
What Readers Can Find
The guides are organized around practical, official-source checks:
- The recent-arrests hub explains the MDCR roster, arrest records, warrants, booking photographs, and correction or removal law.
- Arrests Last 24 Hours covers same-day timing, while the Police Blotter explains multi-day research limits.
- VINELink Custody Check covers custody checks and notification registration.
- City guides distinguish Miami, Hialeah, and Miami Gardens police records from the county custody system.
What We Cannot Do
This is a privately operated reference site. It has no relationship with a Florida government agency, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department.
- We cannot release, hold, or transfer anyone in custody.
- We cannot post bond, arrange visitation, or send funds for a reader.
- We cannot provide legal advice.
- We cannot promise that an address, fee, telephone number, or agency procedure has not changed.
Only MDCR or the responsible law-enforcement office can confirm current custody, booking charges, or release. The site provides navigation, not an official determination.
