Brevard County Arrest Record Search

Brevard County arrest records can be searched through the Brevard County Sheriff's Office online tools. The BCSO runs a large jail complex at 860 Camp Road in Cocoa that holds roughly 1,600 inmates on any given day. This facility opened in 1986 with just 386 beds and has grown to a capacity of 1,849 beds. All arrests across Brevard County funnel through this one facility for booking and processing. The sheriff's office updates its online arrest data daily at around 8:00 AM, so the information you see reflects the prior day's activity.

Brevard County Daily Arrest Reports

The Brevard County Sheriff's Office posts booking data on its website each day. The BCSO bookings page is the main place to check for new arrest records. It gets updated at about 8:00 AM. If someone was arrested late in the day, they may not show up until the next morning. That is just how the update cycle works.

There are two reports to know about. The daily population report shows who is in the Brevard County Jail right now. The daily arrest report shows everyone booked in the last 24 hours. Here is the thing that trips people up: inmates who posted bond will not show on the population report. They show on the arrest report instead. So if you are looking for someone who got arrested and bonded out quickly in Brevard County, make sure you check the arrest report, not just the jail roster.

Bond info is on the arrest report. If you need more detail on bond amounts or conditions, you can call a bail bonding agency or contact the jail records unit at 321-690-1546. The Brevard County Clerk of Court also has case info once charges are formally filed.

The screenshot above shows the BCSO arrest inquiry page where you can look up Brevard County arrest records and booking data.

Note: People arrested after the daily update in Brevard County will not appear in the online search until the following morning at 8:00 AM.

Access to Brevard County Arrest Records

Florida's public records laws give you the right to see arrest records in Brevard County. Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes is the Sunshine Law. It makes most government records public. You do not have to explain why you want the records. Just ask for them.

An arrest record from Brevard County will show the person's name, the date and time of arrest, the charges, the arresting agency, and booking details. It may include a mugshot. Under Section 943.053, criminal history records in Florida are public unless a court has ordered them sealed or expunged. So most Brevard County arrest records are fair game for anyone to look at.

The Brevard County Sheriff's Office website is the best starting point for online searches. For older records or certified copies, contact the Inmate Records Unit at 321-690-1546. You can also file a public records request with the sheriff's office for more detailed data about a specific Brevard County arrest.

The BCSO website has links to booking data, the daily arrest report, and contact info for all divisions. It is the central hub for arrest records in Brevard County.

Clearing Brevard County Arrest Records

To seal or expunge a Brevard County arrest record, you start with FDLE. You need a Certificate of Eligibility, which costs $75 to process. FDLE takes about 12 weeks to issue it. They do not rush this for anyone. Once you get the certificate, you petition the court in Brevard County to have the record sealed or expunged.

Section 943.0585 of the Florida Statutes lays out the expungement rules. If a record is expunged, most agencies must destroy their copies. FDLE keeps one confidential copy. Section 943.059 covers sealing. A sealed record stays on file but the public cannot see it. Either way, you can legally deny the arrest happened in most situations once the order goes through for your Brevard County case. The FDLE seal and expunge page has the forms and full instructions.

Note: The Certificate of Eligibility expires after 12 months, so file your petition with the Brevard County court before that deadline.

Brevard County Arrest Record Databases

FDLE runs the Public Access System for statewide criminal history searches. A name search costs $25 and gives you results right away. This pulls up records from across Florida, not just Brevard County. You need the person's full name to run the search. Adding a date of birth and gender helps narrow the results.

The CCIS database tracks court cases from all 67 Florida counties. If a Brevard County arrest led to criminal charges, you can find the case details in CCIS. Over 150 million cases are in the system. For someone sentenced to state prison after a Brevard County arrest, the Florida Department of Corrections Offender Search will show their current location and sentence details.
