Davie Arrest Records Search
The Davie Police Department is a well-established agency with a records division that handles local reports and documents. Officers patrol the town, respond to calls, and make arrests within Davie limits. The department also has specialized units for traffic enforcement, investigations, and community outreach. But like most cities in Broward County, Davie does not run its own jail. All arrested persons go to the Broward County detention center in Fort Lauderdale.
The Broward Sheriff's Office provides an arrest search portal online. This tool covers every arrest processed through the Broward County jail, including those from Davie police. Enter a name and you get matching booking records with charges, bond amounts, mugshots, and custody status. The search is free and works around the clock. You can also access it through the BSO website directly. Both links go to the same Broward County arrest database.
The Davie Police Department website provides details about local law enforcement services and the records division.

How Davie Arrests Are Processed
Arrests in Davie follow the rules in Chapter 901 of the Florida Statutes. An officer can arrest someone with a warrant or without one when probable cause exists. Domestic violence calls allow warrantless arrest under state law. Once the person is in custody, the Davie officer transports them to the Broward County jail. The drive takes about 20 minutes from the center of town.
At the jail, BSO intake staff handle the booking. They fingerprint the person, take a mugshot, check for warrants, and log every charge. The booking record goes into the county system and becomes public under Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes. Each record shows the arresting agency, so you can see when a Davie police officer made the arrest. The record also shows the date, time, charges, and bond information. Processing can take a few hours, especially during busy periods at the jail.
Bond is set under Chapter 903 of the Florida Statutes. The 17th Judicial Circuit covers Broward County and uses a bond schedule for standard offenses. Minor charges often have a set amount that lets someone post bond quickly after being booked from Davie. For serious charges, a judge must set the bond at a first appearance hearing within 24 hours.
Davie Police Records Division
The Davie Police Department has its own records division. This office handles requests for arrest reports, incident reports, accident reports, and other police documents generated by Davie officers. These records are separate from the jail booking records held by BSO. If you need the police report for an arrest in Davie, you contact the Davie PD records division. If you need booking details and jail records, you go through BSO.
For Level 2 background checks that require an ORI number, the Davie Police Department may refer you to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. You can reach FDLE at 850-410-8109 for questions about background check procedures. Davie PD can process fingerprints and submit them electronically through the FDLE system. This is a different process from looking up recent bookings, as it involves a formal check of the statewide criminal history database.
Note: The Davie Police records division and the BSO jail records are two separate systems covering different types of documents.

Statewide Criminal Records

Public Records Access in Davie
Florida's Sunshine Law under Chapter 119 makes arrest and booking records public. Anyone can request them. You do not need to live in Davie. You do not need a reason. The law covers arrest reports from Davie police, booking records from BSO, mugshots, and jail logs. All standard adult records are open unless a specific exemption applies.
The BSO arrest search is free to use online. Printed copies and certified documents have fees. Standard copy rates are 15 cents per page for single-sided copies. Some records are exempt, including juvenile cases, sealed records, and expunged records. But the vast majority of adult booking records from Davie are public. Both the Davie Police Department and BSO must comply with records requests under state law, and they must respond in a reasonable time.
Note: If you need both the police report from Davie PD and the jail booking record from BSO, you will need to file two separate requests.
