Florida - Where To Find Arrest Records

By Claire Dowell


The Criminal Justice Information Services under the Florida Department of law Enforcement keeps the Florida arrest records. The records that are found in the archive are those that have been reported by any of the issuing government agencies such as the office of the sheriff, criminal justice agencies, state police and traffic department.

In Florida, arrest files are used for several purposes. The most common reason for accessing such files is to conduct a background check on an individual, may it be your neighbor, relatives, colleagues and friends. This can help one feel at ease about the people they talk to on a daily basis. Employers also check out the records of their people to make sure they have people who can properly do their jobs. Others would use the arrest records to check the history of their fianc to make sure they are marrying a person with a clean record. Checking one's personal arrest files is recommended in order to make sure that the information contained on the file is true and accurate.

When a person is arrested, even if the person was not convicted of the crime, the incident is still documented. A lot of information can be found on the file such as the personal information of the arrested individual like the name, age, address and the birth date. One can also find on the record the physical description of the person such as the color of the eyes, weight, gender, height, and any markings on the body. Further information about the arrest of the person is also found on the record like the place where the person was arrested and the time it happened. The file also contains a photo of the individual.

Requesting for arrest records in the state of Florida requires one to fill out the form at the office. The form can also be downloaded from the official website of the state's Department of Law Enforcement. Records from 1950 can be obtained from the office. Records before the mentioned date can be obtained from the office of the county's clerk. One will be required to pay a nonrefundable fee of $24. The requesting individual will also be asked for their personal information such as the name, age and address. Fingerprints are also needed for documentation in order to be used when conducting a background check.
