Access Volusia County Arrest Records

Volusia County arrest records are managed by two separate agencies, which makes this county a bit different from most in Florida. The Volusia County Sheriff's Office handles law enforcement, but it does not run the jail. A separate county department called Volusia County Corrections operates the jail at 1300 Red John Drive in Daytona Beach. Mugshots are available through the county corrections website. The sheriff's office covers law enforcement in unincorporated areas and several contract cities including Deltona, DeBary, Pierson, and Oak Hill.

Volusia County Arrest Record Sources

Most Florida counties have the sheriff run both law enforcement and the jail. Volusia County does it differently. The Volusia County Sheriff's Office patrols the streets and makes arrests. But a separate county department handles the jail and all the booking records that come with it. This is important to know when you are looking for Volusia County arrest records.

The Volusia County Corrections department runs the jail at 1300 Red John Drive in Daytona Beach. Call 386-254-1555 for the main line. For booking, bonding, and charge questions, the direct number is 386-254-1540. If you need case management, call 386-254-1548. These are the people who handle the day-to-day records for anyone booked into the Volusia County jail system.

The sheriff's office has primary jurisdiction over unincorporated Volusia County. It also serves as police for Deltona, DeBary, Pierson, and Oak Hill through contract agreements. Other cities like Daytona Beach, New Smyrna Beach, and Ormond Beach have their own police departments. But no matter which agency makes the arrest in Volusia County, the booking goes through the same corrections facility.

The Volusia Sheriff's Office website provides information on public safety, crime reporting, and contact details. For arrest records specifically, you will need the corrections department or the mugshot search tool.

Volusia County Arrest Mugshot Search

Volusia County has a dedicated mugshot search tool. It is separate from the sheriff's site. Mugshots from Volusia County arrests are posted on the corrections public access website. You can search by name to find a person's booking photo and related arrest data.

Under Florida law, mugshots are part of the public record. Section 943.053 of the Florida Statutes says criminal history records are public unless sealed or expunged. That includes the photos taken at booking. Volusia County makes these available online as part of its duty under Chapter 119, the Sunshine Law.

If you cannot find what you need online, call the Volusia County Corrections booking line at 386-254-1540. Staff can check their system for arrest records that may not be on the public site. You can also make a formal public records request through the county's Public Records Center.

Note: The mugshot search tool for Volusia County may experience downtime, so if it is not loading, try again later or call the jail directly.

Volusia County Booking Facility

The main jail in Volusia County is at 1300 Red John Drive in Daytona Beach. This is where all bookings happen. The phone number is 386-254-1555. The facility processes arrests from every law enforcement agency in the county, whether that is the sheriff, the Daytona Beach Police, or any other local department. Everyone goes through the same booking process.

The corrections department website shown above has info on the jail, visiting, and how to get records. Volusia County also runs a Regional Juvenile Detention Center at 3840 Old Deland Road in Daytona Beach. That facility handles juvenile cases, which are separate from adult arrest records and have different access rules. The juvenile center phone number is 386-238-4788.

For adults, the booking process creates a record that includes the person's name, charges, arresting agency, bond amount, and a mugshot. This data goes into the Volusia County system and also gets reported to FDLE for the statewide criminal history database. So a Volusia County arrest shows up in both local and state records.

Sealing or Expunging Volusia Arrest Records

If you want to clear a Volusia County arrest record, there are two paths under Florida law. Sealing hides the record from public view. Expungement destroys it at most agencies. Both require a Certificate of Eligibility from FDLE. The fee is $75 and it takes about 12 weeks.

Section 943.0585 covers expungement. Section 943.059 covers sealing. You must apply to FDLE first, then petition the Volusia County court. The certificate lasts 12 months from the date it is issued. If you miss that window, you have to start over. Administrative expungement under Section 943.0581 is also an option if the arrest was made by mistake or against the law. That path is different and does not need a court petition.

The FDLE seal and expunge page has the forms you need. The Volusia County Clerk of Courts in all 67 counties also keeps these forms on hand.

State Databases for Volusia Records

You can search for Volusia County arrest records at the state level too. The FDLE Public Access System pulls up statewide criminal history data for $25 per name search. Results are instant. The CCIS system has court case data from all Florida counties, including Volusia. If someone was sent to state prison after a Volusia County arrest, the FDC Offender Search tracks them.

These tools are good for getting a broad view. The FDLE search covers all 67 counties, so if someone has records in Volusia County and elsewhere, you see the full picture. CCIS shows case progress from filing through disposition. And the corrections search shows anyone currently in state prison or on community supervision after their sentence.

Note: FDLE name searches can return multiple matches for common names, so having a date of birth helps narrow results for Volusia County records.
