How Arrests Work in Coral Springs
The Coral Springs Police Department is the city's law enforcement agency. Officers patrol the city, respond to calls, and make arrests. Once someone is arrested, they are taken to the BSO main jail at 555 SE 1st Avenue in Fort Lauderdale for booking. Coral Springs does not have its own long-term holding facility. All formal bookings go through BSO.
At the BSO jail, staff take a photo and fingerprints of the person. Personal details and charges get entered into the booking system. Each charge has a Florida statute number attached. Bond amounts are set according to a schedule. The process follows Chapter 901 of Florida Statutes, which sets the rules for arrests in the state. Bail and bond rules come from Chapter 903. After booking, the record becomes public and shows up in the BSO arrest search.
Note: Coral Springs Police may briefly hold someone at their station before transport to the BSO jail, but the official booking record is created at the county facility in Fort Lauderdale.

Statewide Booking Record Tools
Beyond the BSO system, Florida has state resources for wider searches. The FDLE record check pulls criminal history from every county for $25. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement runs this system and maintains records from all local agencies across the state.
The Florida Department of Corrections tracks people in state prison. It does not cover the Broward County jail. Use it for people after conviction and sentencing. The Florida Department of State has a directory of all county jail search tools, which helps when you need to look outside of Broward County.
Note: The FDLE statewide check may take a few business days. For very recent arrests in Coral Springs, the BSO arrest search is the fastest option.
What Coral Springs Booking Records Show
A booking record from Coral Springs lists the person's name, date of birth, and a photo from the BSO jail intake. All charges appear with their Florida statute numbers and are labeled as misdemeanors or felonies. Bond amounts are shown for each charge. The arresting agency is named, telling you if Coral Springs Police made the arrest. Booking and release dates are part of the record. Court dates are added after a judge sets them.
Keep in mind that a booking is not a conviction. It records an arrest and the intake process at the jail. Everyone is presumed innocent until found guilty in court. If the same person has prior bookings in Broward County, those may show up in the search results too. Each booking has its own unique record number. Some people appear in the system more than once over time.
