Largo Quick Facts
Largo Arrest Records Search
The Largo Police Department patrols the city and makes arrests within its jurisdiction. When an officer arrests someone in Largo, the person is transported to the Pinellas County Jail in Clearwater. The jail sits on 49th Street North, about a 15-minute drive from central Largo.

That booking record becomes public right away under Chapter 119 of Florida Statutes.
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office provides an online tool called "Who's in Jail" that lets you search for current inmates and people released within the last 30 days. Enter a name and the system returns matching records from across the county. This covers arrests by the Largo Police, the sheriff's deputies, and every other agency in Pinellas County. Results show booking dates, charges, bond amounts, and current custody status.
The Pinellas County Sheriff's inmate search shows current and recently released inmates from the county jail used for Largo bookings.
This tool covers all Largo arrests processed through the Pinellas County jail system.
How Largo Bookings Work
The arrest process in Largo follows Chapter 901 of Florida Statutes. Officers can arrest with a warrant or without one when they have probable cause. After the arrest, the person goes to the Pinellas County Jail for processing. The booking record captures the person's name, date of birth, physical description, charges, arresting agency, and the time of booking.
Largo does not have its own city jail. This is standard across Pinellas County, where multiple cities rely on the sheriff's office to run the jail. The Pinellas County Jail handles bookings from Largo, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, and many smaller municipalities. All go into the same database. The arresting agency field on the booking record tells you which department made the arrest. So a Largo Police arrest is clearly marked even though the booking takes place at the county facility in Clearwater.
Pinellas County is one of the most densely populated counties in Florida. The jail processes a high volume of bookings from the many cities packed into the peninsula. Largo contributes a steady share of those bookings given its size as one of the larger cities in the county. The 30-day window on the "Who's in Jail" tool means you can find relatively recent releases, not just current inmates.
Note: The Pinellas County Jail also has a separate arrest inquiry tool that may provide additional detail beyond the main inmate search.
Bond and Bail for Largo Arrests
Once someone is booked for a Largo arrest, the bond process follows Chapter 903 of Florida Statutes. The 6th Judicial Circuit covers Pinellas County and sets a bond schedule for standard charges. Minor offenses may carry a preset bond amount. Serious charges need a judge to set bond at first appearance, which happens within 24 hours of arrest.
You can pay cash bond at the Pinellas County Jail. Bail bondsmen in the area charge about 10% of the total bond, and that fee is not refundable. Some defendants qualify for release on their own recognizance. The inmate search tool shows the bond amount for each charge on a booking record, so you can check before going to the jail. If the full cash bond is posted and the defendant appears at all court dates, the money comes back when the case ends minus any court costs or fees.
Public Records Access in Largo
Under Chapter 119, booking records are open to anyone. You do not need to live in Largo or anywhere in Florida. You do not need to state a reason. The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office must provide records within a reasonable time. Most booking data is available through the online inmate search, so formal written requests are typically only needed for older records or documents not posted on the website.
Arrest reports from the Largo Police Department are separate from the booking records at the county jail. The police report covers the events of the arrest, while the booking record covers the jail intake process. Both are public records under Florida law. Contact the Largo Police records unit for copies of incident reports and arrest affidavits. Fees may apply for copies and staff labor. Certified copies cost more than standard ones. Sealed, expunged, and juvenile records are not available to the general public even under Florida's open records law.
Note: The Largo Police Department processes public records requests through its records division during regular business hours.
Statewide Record Searches
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement maintains a statewide criminal history database. Their criminal history record check costs $25 for a name-based search and covers all 67 Florida counties. This is the right tool when you need a broader search than what the Pinellas County system provides or when you are not sure which county an arrest occurred in.
The Florida Department of Corrections has an inmate search for people serving sentences in state prison. This does not cover inmates at the Pinellas County Jail. Use the county tool for current Largo bookings and the FDC search for convicted offenders who have been transferred to a state facility. FDLE records may lag a few days behind county data because of processing time between agencies.
