Doral Quick Facts
Doral Arrest Records Search
The Doral Police Department is the local law enforcement agency for the city. Officers patrol the streets, investigate crimes, and make arrests. Once a person is arrested in Doral, they go to a Miami-Dade County jail facility for booking. The intake process creates a public record that includes the person's name, date of birth, charges, bond amount, and custody status. All of this falls under Chapter 119 of Florida Statutes, the state's public records law.
The Miami-Dade inmate search is the main tool for finding booking records from Doral arrests. You search by name and the system returns matching results from across the entire county. This covers arrests made by Doral Police, Miami-Dade Police, and every other agency in the county. Results include current inmates and people released in recent weeks. The tool is free to use and works on any device.
The Miami-Dade County website provides access to law enforcement resources and the inmate search system used for Doral bookings.
This portal connects to the county corrections system where all Doral booking records are stored.
How Doral Bookings Work
Arrests in Doral follow Chapter 901 of Florida Statutes. An officer needs probable cause or a warrant. After the arrest, the person is transported to the county intake facility. Booking staff process each person the same way. They record personal details, take fingerprints and a photo, log the charges, and assign a booking number. The whole thing creates a paper trail that is open to the public from the start.
Doral does not operate its own jail. This is typical for most Florida cities. The county sheriff or corrections department runs the jail, and city police departments transport their arrested persons there. In Miami-Dade County, the corrections department is separate from the police department, which is a bit different from most Florida counties where the sheriff handles both. But the result is the same for you as a person searching booking records. Everything goes into one county database.
Doral was incorporated in 2003, making it one of Florida's newer cities. The police department has grown with the city. Despite its relatively recent start, Doral PD handles a full range of law enforcement duties. All arrests flow into the same Miami-Dade booking system that has been in place for decades.
Note: Doral sits near Miami International Airport, which means some arrests involve travelers or airport-related incidents processed through the county system.
Bond and Bail for Doral Arrests
After booking, the bond process starts. Chapter 903 of Florida Statutes controls bail in the state. The 11th Judicial Circuit handles Miami-Dade County and sets a bond schedule. For minor offenses, there may be a preset amount. Serious charges require a judge at first appearance, which must happen within 24 hours of arrest.
You can pay cash bond at the jail. Bail bondsmen charge around 10% of the total, and that fee does not come back. Some people qualify for release on their own recognizance. The online inmate search shows the current bond for each charge, so you know the amount before making the trip. If you pay the full cash bond and the person attends all court hearings, the money is returned when the case ends. Weekend arrests sometimes mean waiting for a Monday first appearance hearing unless the court holds weekend sessions in the circuit.
Public Records Access in Doral
Anyone can access booking records from Doral arrests. Chapter 119 does not require you to be a Florida resident or give a reason for your request. Miami-Dade Corrections posts most booking data online. If you need something not available through the search tool, you can file a public records request with the department. Fees may apply for copies and staff time.
Arrest reports from the Doral Police Department are also public records. These are separate documents from the booking records at the county jail. An arrest report comes from the police and describes the circumstances of the arrest. The booking record comes from corrections and covers the jail intake details. Both are accessible to the public in Florida. Contact the Doral Police records unit for arrest reports tied to incidents within city limits.
Note: Juvenile records and sealed or expunged cases are exempt from public disclosure even under Florida's open records law.
Statewide Booking Resources
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement offers a statewide criminal history check that covers all 67 Florida counties. If you want to search beyond just Doral or Miami-Dade, FDLE is the way to go. Their record check service costs $25 for a name-based search and pulls data from every county in the state.
For people already sentenced to state prison, the Florida Department of Corrections runs its own inmate search. This covers convicted offenders serving time in state facilities. It does not show current county jail inmates. If someone was arrested in Doral and is still awaiting trial, the Miami-Dade inmate search is the tool you need. FDC only picks up inmates after they have been convicted and transferred.
