How Kissimmee Bookings Work
The arrest process in Kissimmee follows Chapter 901 of Florida Statutes. Officers can make an arrest with a warrant signed by a judge or without one if they witness a crime in progress. Probable cause is the standard. After the arrest, the officer brings the person to the Osceola County Jail at 402 Simpson Road. The booking record is created during intake. It includes the person's full name, date of birth, physical description, charges, arresting agency, and the exact time of booking.
Kissimmee does not have its own city jail. The county facility handles everything. This is the standard setup across most of Florida, where the county sheriff runs the jail and city police departments send their arrestees there. The Osceola County Jail processes bookings for the entire county, so Kissimmee arrests sit alongside arrests from St. Cloud, unincorporated Osceola, and other areas. The booking records look the same regardless of which agency made the arrest.
Note: Kissimmee is near several major tourist areas, which means the jail processes a mix of local residents and visitors during peak travel times.
Bond Process for Kissimmee Arrests
Once someone is booked for a Kissimmee arrest, bail comes into play. Chapter 903 of Florida Statutes sets the rules for bail and bond in the state. The 9th Judicial Circuit, which covers Osceola County, uses a bond schedule for common charges. Minor offenses may have a set bond amount. More serious charges need a judge to decide at a first appearance hearing, which happens within 24 hours.
Cash bond can be paid at the jail. A bail bondsman is the other route. Bondsmen typically charge 10% of the total bond, and that fee is nonrefundable. Some defendants get released on their own recognizance without paying anything. You can check the inmate search on the Osceola County Sheriff's website to see bond amounts for specific charges. If you pay the full cash bond and the defendant appears at every court date, the money comes back at the end of the case minus any court costs.
Public Records Requests in Kissimmee
Florida's public records law is broad. Under Chapter 119, booking records are open to anyone. You do not have to live in Kissimmee. You do not have to state a reason. The Osceola County Sheriff's Office must provide records in a reasonable time. Most booking data is already online, so formal requests are usually only needed for older records or documents not posted on the website.
For arrest reports from the Kissimmee Police Department, you contact the department's records unit. These reports are separate from the booking records kept at the county jail. Arrest affidavits, incident reports, and supplemental documents are all public records in Florida. Fees may apply for copies and staff time. Certified copies cost more than standard ones. Sealed or expunged records and juvenile cases are not available to the general public.
Statewide Record Resources
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement maintains a criminal history database for all 67 counties. If you are not sure whether an arrest took place in Kissimmee or somewhere else in Florida, FDLE can help. Their criminal history record check costs $25 for a name-based search. It pulls arrest data from every county in the state.
The Florida Department of Corrections runs an inmate search for people serving time in state prison. This does not cover people sitting in the Osceola County Jail. It only shows convicted offenders who have been sentenced and moved to a state facility. For current Kissimmee bookings, the county jail search is the right tool. FDLE and FDC are better for broader or historical lookups.
Note: FDLE results may be a few days behind the local jail system because of processing delays between agencies.
