Alafaya Arrest Records

Alafaya arrest records are handled by Orange County, not a city police force. Alafaya is an unincorporated community in east Orange County, which means law enforcement falls to the Orange County Sheriff's Office. When someone gets arrested in Alafaya, the booking and jail record goes into the Orange County Corrections system at 3855 South John Young Parkway in Orlando. The inmate database updates within 30 minutes of a new booking. You can search it online or call the corrections records office at (407) 836-0321 for help with a specific Alafaya arrest record.

Search Alafaya Arrest Records Online

The Orange County Corrections Department runs the inmate search database that covers all arrests in Alafaya and the rest of Orange County. The database lists people currently in jail with their charges, bond amount, and booking photo. Staff update the listing within 30 minutes of a new booking. Once a person is released from jail, they no longer show up in the search results.

To use the tool, enter a first and last name. Results show up fast. Each record tells you the charges, bond set by the judge, and the booking date. It also says if the person is still in custody. Being listed in the database does not mean the person is guilty. It just means they were booked into the Orange County jail after an arrest in Alafaya or somewhere else in the county. The corrections department posts a daily booking list too, which shows all inmates brought in over the past 24 hours.

For historical records, you need to contact the records office. Email OCCDRecords@ocfl.net or call (407) 836-0321.

Orange County Inmate Search

The Orange County Corrections Department provides a public inmate lookup portal that covers Alafaya arrest records along with all other Orange County communities.

This portal is the fastest way to check on a recent arrest in Alafaya. The system pulls from the same booking data used by the jail, so it stays current. First appearance hearings in Orange County happen seven days a week, even on holidays. The first appearance list gets posted online daily, right alongside the inmate search. If the person you are looking for has already been released, the search will not show them. In that case, reach out to the corrections records office directly. Under Section 943.053 of the Florida Statutes, criminal history records are public unless they have been sealed or expunged by a court.

Law Enforcement in Alafaya

Alafaya does not have its own police department. Because it is an unincorporated part of Orange County, the Orange County Sheriff's Office handles all law enforcement. OCSO deputies patrol the area, respond to calls, and make arrests. After an arrest in Alafaya, the person goes to the Orange County Corrections Booking and Release Center at 3855 S John Young Pkwy in Orlando.

The booking facility has 592 beds and serves as the main intake point for all of Orange County. From there, inmates may get moved to the Main Facility Jail with 1,053 beds, the Horizon Facility with 768 beds, or other buildings on the corrections campus. The whole system has room for over 3,500 people across seven facilities. Whether the arrest happened in Alafaya, Orlando, Pine Hills, or anywhere else in the county, the booking process is the same. Every arrest record ends up in the same county database.

How to Get Alafaya Arrest Records

There are four ways to get copies of arrest records from Alafaya. You can go in person to the 4th floor of the Corrections Administration building. You can mail a request to P.O. Box 4970, Orlando, FL 32802-4970. You can send an email to OCCDRecords@ocfl.net. Or you can call (407) 836-0321.

Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes makes arrest records public in Florida. You can ask for them without giving a reason. The law is called the Sunshine Law, and it applies to all government records, not just arrest data. This is why the Orange County inmate search is available online to begin with. The public has a right to this information.

Copies of booking reports and arrest paperwork are available through any of those four methods. Response time varies, but email and phone tend to be the fastest routes for simple requests.

Statewide Tools for Alafaya Records

Beyond the local Orange County search, state-level databases also cover Alafaya arrest records. The FDLE Criminal History Record Check searches the entire state. It costs $25 and gives instant results. You need a full name and date of birth helps. The Comprehensive Case Information System tracks court cases from all 67 Florida counties, including Orange County. It has over 150 million cases in the system.

The Florida Department of Corrections Offender Search covers state prison inmates. If someone from Alafaya was sentenced to state prison, their record shows up there. This search is free. The FDLE Public Access System is another option that pulls from the Florida Crime Information Center database.

Sealing or Expunging Alafaya Arrest Records

If you have an arrest record from Alafaya that you want removed, Florida law has a process for that. Under Section 943.0585, a court can order an arrest record expunged if the person qualifies. Expungement means all agencies must destroy their copies. FDLE keeps one confidential version that only certain entities can see. Sealing is different. It hides the record from public view but more agencies can still access it.

The process starts with a Certificate of Eligibility from FDLE. The fee is $75 and it takes about 12 weeks to process. The certificate is good for 12 months. After you get it, you file a petition with the Clerk of Courts in Orange County. The FDLE seal and expunge page has the forms and full instructions.
