How Daytona Beach Bookings Work
Arrests in Daytona Beach follow the rules laid out in Chapter 901 of Florida Statutes. An officer can make an arrest with a warrant or without one when witnessing a crime or having probable cause. After the arrest, the person goes to the Volusia County Branch Jail for processing. Since the jail is in Daytona Beach, the booking happens relatively fast compared to other Volusia County cities where the drive to the jail can take longer.
During booking, staff take fingerprints and a photograph. They record the person's full name, date of birth, height, weight, and other physical details. All charges from the arrest are entered along with the arresting officer's name, the time of arrest, and the location. This data creates the booking record. Under Chapter 119 of Florida Statutes, the record is public from the moment it enters the system. No waiting period. No restrictions. Anyone can access it.
Daytona Beach sees a spike in arrests during large events like Bike Week and spring break, which means more bookings during those periods. The jail handles the increased volume, and all records stay public regardless of how busy the facility gets.
Note: The Volusia County Branch Jail in Daytona Beach processes bookings from the city police department and from Volusia County deputies working in the area.
Bond and Bail in Daytona Beach
After someone is booked at the Volusia County Branch Jail for a Daytona Beach arrest, the bond process starts. Florida's bail laws are covered in Chapter 903 of the state statutes. The 7th Judicial Circuit covers Volusia County and maintains a bond schedule. Some charges come with a preset amount the person can pay to get out. More serious offenses require a judge to set the bond at a first appearance hearing within 24 hours.
Cash bond is one option. You pay the full amount at the jail and get it back when the case concludes if the person attends all court dates. A bail bondsman is another route. The fee is about 10% of the total bond and that money is not returned. Some defendants get released on their own recognizance, meaning no payment is needed. The judge considers the nature of the charges, any prior record, and the person's ties to the Daytona Beach community. Bond details for each booking appear in the online inmate search through the sheriff's office.

Statewide Records Search

It is the broadest search available at the state level and useful when you need a complete picture of someone's criminal history across Florida.
The Florida Department of Corrections has a separate inmate search for people in state prison. This covers sentenced offenders only, not people currently in the Volusia County jail awaiting trial. If someone was arrested in Daytona Beach and later sentenced to state prison, they would appear in the FDC system. For current bookings, the Volusia County Sheriff's inmate search is the right tool.
