Broward Sheriff Arrest Search
The Broward Sheriff's Office Arrest Search is a name-based tool for accessing arrest information. You type in a name, and the system returns matching records from the county database. Information accessible includes booking records, mugshots, charges, and bail and bond records. The tool covers anyone booked into the Broward County jail system, including people arrested in Pompano Beach.
The screenshot below shows the Broward Sheriff's inmate search interface, which handles Pompano Beach arrest record lookups.
The Broward County inmate search page is the main online tool for finding arrest data from Pompano Beach and the rest of the county.
Search results from this tool show current custody status, charges filed, and bond details. If the person has been released, the record may still appear for a period of time after release.
The BSO database gets updated as bookings happen. There can be a short delay between when someone gets arrested in Pompano Beach and when the record shows up online. This is normal. The data has to go through intake processing first.
Pompano Beach Police and County Jail
The Pompano Beach Police Department is at 100 SW 3rd St, Pompano Beach, FL 33060. The department has its own officers, patrol cars, and detectives. They handle the initial arrest and investigation. But once the arrest happens, the person goes to a Broward County facility for booking.
The main Broward County Jail is at 555 SE 1st Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301. There is also the Joseph V. Conte Facility at 1351 NW 27th Avenue, Pompano Beach, FL 33069. That one is actually in Pompano Beach, so some arrests from the city may get processed there. Both facilities feed into the same BSO booking system.
Having the Conte facility right in Pompano Beach is convenient. It means some people arrested in the city stay close to where the arrest happened. But regardless of which facility handles the booking, the arrest record ends up in the same Broward County database. You search one system to find any Pompano Beach arrest.

Public Records Law and Pompano Beach Arrests
Arrest records from Pompano Beach are public. Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes covers this. The Sunshine Law says anyone can ask for government records, and arrest data is included. You do not need to be a Broward County resident. You do not need to give a reason for the request.
Exemptions do apply. Juvenile records are not public. Active investigation files can be held back. And sealed or expunged records are off limits. The seal and expunge process through FDLE lets people remove qualifying arrest records. Under Section 943.0585, an expunged record gets destroyed by agencies. The certificate costs $75, and it takes about 12 weeks for FDLE to process it.
