Pembroke Pines Arrest Records Search

Pembroke Pines arrest records are processed through the Broward Sheriff's Office, which handles detention and booking for all of Broward County. The Pembroke Pines Police Department patrols the city and makes arrests, but the booking happens at BSO facilities. Once someone is taken into custody in Pembroke Pines, they are transported to a BSO jail for processing. The BSO Main Jail sits at 555 SE 1st Avenue in Fort Lauderdale. You can search for arrest records online through the BSO arrest search portal, or call (954) 831-8700 for records and warrant questions. Pembroke Pines is one of the largest cities in Broward County, so the volume of arrests flowing into the BSO system from this area is significant.

Looking Up Pembroke Pines Arrests

The Broward Sheriff's Office Arrest Search is a name-based tool for accessing arrest information from Pembroke Pines and the rest of the county. Enter a first and last name to pull up results. Information accessible through the BSO access portal includes booking records, mugshots, charges, bail and bond records, custody information, court-related data, and release information. The search covers all BSO detention facilities.

People arrested in Pembroke Pines by city police get booked at BSO jails. The process is the same as any other Broward County city. Staff take a mugshot, log the charges, and enter personal details into the booking system. The arrest record then shows up in the online search. Once released, a person may drop off the active search results. For older Pembroke Pines arrest records, contact BSO records or use the FDLE statewide system.

The Pembroke Pines Police Department is at 9501 Pines Blvd, Pembroke Pines, FL 33024. Non-emergency calls go to (954) 431-2200.

Broward Sheriff's Office

The Broward Sheriff's Office website is the starting point for arrest record searches covering Pembroke Pines and all other Broward County cities.

BSO is the main law enforcement agency for unincorporated Broward County, and it also runs the jail system that all Broward cities use. The website has links to the inmate search, warrant information, and other public records tools. Under Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes, arrest records from Pembroke Pines are public. You do not need to give a reason when you request them. The Sunshine Law covers all government records in Florida, and that includes booking data.

How Pembroke Pines Arrests Get Processed

When Pembroke Pines police take someone into custody, the person gets transported to a BSO booking facility. The main intake center is the BSO Main Jail in Fort Lauderdale at 555 SE 1st Avenue. Booking staff photograph the person, record the charges, and enter all data into the county system. A first appearance hearing happens within 24 hours. The judge reviews charges and sets bail under Section 903 of the Florida Statutes.

The bond amount depends on the charges and the person's history. Some offenses have a standard bond schedule. Others require the judge to make a decision at the hearing. All of this gets tied to the arrest record. Bond data shows up in the BSO inmate search once it is set. Video visits at BSO jails are available from 8:00 a.m. to 7:45 p.m. daily for people in custody after a Pembroke Pines arrest.

The Clerk of Courts for the 17th Judicial Circuit handles the court side. Case filings, plea deals, and sentencing data are all available through the clerk's office once charges are filed.

State-Level Search Tools

The FDLE Criminal History Record Check covers Pembroke Pines arrests as part of the statewide database. A search costs $25 and results come back right away. Under Section 943.053, criminal history records are public in Florida unless sealed or expunged. The CCIS system tracks over 150 million court cases from all 67 counties, including Broward.

The FDC Offender Search covers state prison inmates. Use it if someone from Pembroke Pines was sentenced to state prison. The search is free. You can look up people by name or DC number. For people still in the Broward County jail after a Pembroke Pines arrest, use the BSO inmate search instead.

Clearing a Pembroke Pines Arrest Record

Florida allows certain records to be sealed or expunged. Under Section 943.0585, a court can order an arrest record destroyed if charges were dropped, dismissed, or resulted in acquittal. The first step is getting a Certificate of Eligibility from FDLE. It costs $75 and takes about 12 weeks. After that, you file a petition with the Broward County court.

Sealing under Section 943.059 hides the record from public view. Government agencies can still access sealed records in some cases. Expungement goes further. Once expunged, all agencies destroy their copies except FDLE, which keeps one confidential version. The FDLE seal and expunge page has all the forms and instructions for Pembroke Pines residents who want to start this process.
