Kendall Arrest Records Search

Kendall arrest records go through Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation, the county agency that runs the jail system. Kendall is an unincorporated community in Miami-Dade County, so it does not have its own city police. The Miami-Dade Police Department handles law enforcement in the area. When someone is arrested in Kendall, they get taken to a Miami-Dade detention facility for booking. You can look up Kendall arrest records through the county inmate search tool or call Miami-Dade Corrections at (786) 263-7000. Since Kendall is unincorporated, the county is the only agency you need to contact.

Kendall Arrest Record Search

Miami-Dade County runs an inmate search tool that covers Kendall and all areas in the county. The search is name-based. You need at least the first three characters of a last name. Search results show a mugshot, full name, date of birth, jail number, booking date, case info, and bond status.

The tool only shows people currently in custody. That is a key point. If someone was arrested in Kendall last month and already released, they will not appear. The portal updates as people are booked and released, but it does not keep a historical archive. For older Kendall arrest records, contact the Miami-Dade Clerk of Courts or use the FDLE statewide database.

Miami-Dade runs several jail facilities. The two main ones are Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center at 7000 NW 41st Street and the Pre-Trial Detention Center at 1321 NW 13th Street. Both are in the Miami area. People arrested in Kendall could end up at either facility depending on space and the nature of their charges.

FDLE Seal and Expunge Process

The FDLE seal and expunge page explains how to clear a Kendall arrest record from public view if you qualify under Florida law.

Under Section 943.0585 of the Florida Statutes, a person can apply to have their arrest record expunged if the charges were dropped, dismissed, or led to an acquittal. Sealing under Section 943.059 hides the record from most public searches. The first step is a Certificate of Eligibility from FDLE, which costs $75 and takes about 12 weeks. After that, you file a petition with the Miami-Dade County court.

Law Enforcement in Kendall

The Miami-Dade Police Department is the primary law enforcement agency for Kendall. Since the area is unincorporated, there is no city police force. Miami-Dade PD is one of the largest police departments in the southeastern United States. They handle everything from routine patrols to major investigations in the Kendall area.

The Kendall District station serves the community. Officers from this station respond to calls, make arrests, and write reports for the Kendall area. When an arrest is made, the officer takes the person to a Miami-Dade jail facility. The booking record is then created by Miami-Dade Corrections staff. The police report from the Miami-Dade PD officer is a separate document. Both are public under Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes.

Court Records From Kendall Arrests

The 11th Judicial Circuit Court handles criminal cases in Miami-Dade County. After a Kendall arrest, the state attorney decides whether to file formal charges. If charges are filed, the case enters the court system. The Miami-Dade Clerk of Courts keeps those records.

Court records include charge information, hearing dates, motions, plea records, and sentencing data. They connect to the arrest record through the case number. The Clerk of Courts has both an online lookup and an in-person records office. Court records and arrest records are separate files held by separate agencies, but they tie back to the same event.

Statewide Search Tools

The FDLE Criminal History Record Check includes Kendall arrest records in the statewide database. A search costs $25. Results are fast. The FDLE Public Access System covers arrests from agencies across the state, including Miami-Dade Police.

The CCIS court records system has over 150 million cases from all 67 counties. If a Kendall arrest led to court proceedings, you can track the case through CCIS. The FDC Offender Search covers state prison inmates. Someone arrested in Kendall who was later sentenced to state prison would show up in that database.
