Orlando Arrest Records Database
Orlando arrest records are kept by the Orange County Corrections Department. The Orlando Police Department handles law enforcement in the city, but once someone is arrested, the county takes over for booking and jail. Orange County runs a large corrections campus with several facilities, and the inmate database gets updated every 30 minutes. You can search Orlando arrest records online or reach the corrections custodian of records at (407) 836-0321. The county system covers all of Orange County, so arrests from Orlando, Pine Hills, Alafaya, and other communities all end up in the same database.

Search Orlando Arrest Records Online
The Orange County Corrections Department provides a public inmate search database where you can look up people currently in jail. This covers all arrests in Orlando and the rest of Orange County. The database updates every 30 minutes. When staff enter a new booking into the management system, it shows up online within that window. Once a person is released, they drop off the list.
The search shows charges, bond amounts, and booking photos. It clearly states that being listed does not mean the person is guilty. It just means they were booked into the Orange County jail after an arrest. The corrections department also puts out a daily booking list that shows everyone brought in during the past 24 hours. A first appearance list is updated daily too. First appearance hearings in Orange County happen seven days a week, including holidays.
For an alternative search, the Orange County court inmate search offers a similar tool with a different interface. Both pull from the same data.

From there, inmates may be moved to the Main Facility Jail (1,053 beds), the Horizon Facility (768 beds), or other buildings on the corrections campus.
