Miami-Dade County Booking System

All arrests in Doral go through Miami-Dade County jail facilities. When law enforcement makes an arrest, they take the person to the county jail for booking. Staff record personal information, take fingerprints and photos, and log the charges into the computer system. This creates an official booking record.

Bond gets set by a judge during a first appearance hearing. If the inmate can post bond, they get released until their court date. Others remain in custody until trial or sentencing. Release happens when bond is posted, when the sentence is complete, or when a judge orders release. The jail updates its database when someone is released.

Most county jails keep release information online for 30 to 90 days. After that, you need to submit a formal public records request to get older booking and release data. The request goes to the records custodian at the sheriff's office.

Miami-Dade County court records are kept separate from jail records. The Clerk of Court maintains case files, court dockets, and judgments. You can search court records online or visit the clerk's office in person.

How to Search Booking Releases

The fastest way to find booking information in Doral is through the online inmate database. Go to the sheriff's website and look for the inmate search or jail roster link. Enter the person's name and click search. Results will show if they are currently in custody or if they were released recently.

If the online search does not have the data you need, call the jail information line. Provide the inmate's full name and date of birth. Jail staff can tell you if the person is in custody, what charges they face, their bond amount, and their projected release date if known.

For older records that are not online, submit a written public records request. You can email the records custodian or send a letter by mail. Include the inmate's full name, approximate dates of booking, and what records you want. The agency must respond within a reasonable time under Florida law.

Note: Some jails charge fees for copies of booking records, mugshots, or arrest reports. Ask about costs before submitting large requests.

Florida Public Records Access

Florida's public records law gives you the right to see government records including booking and release data. The law is found in Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes. It says that all records made or received in the course of official business are public unless a specific exemption applies.

Booking records are public by default. The name of the arrested person, their age, address, charges, booking date, and bond amount are all public information. Release dates and release reasons are also public. You do not need to explain why you want these records.

Some details may be redacted or withheld if they are part of an active criminal investigation. Social security numbers, bank account numbers, and home addresses of law enforcement officers are confidential. But basic booking data does not fall under these exemptions.

Agencies can charge for copies of records. The standard fee is $0.15 per page for paper copies. Digital records may have different pricing. If your request requires extensive staff time to compile, the agency may charge for labor. Always ask for a cost estimate before proceeding with large requests.

Related Records and Resources

Court records provide more detail than booking records alone. The Miami-Dade County Clerk of Court maintains case files for all criminal and civil cases. You can search for court dockets, judgments, plea agreements, and sentencing orders. Many clerk offices have online case search portals that are free to use.

Arrest reports contain the narrative of what happened during the arrest. These reports are written by the arresting officer and include witness statements, evidence collected, and the probable cause for the arrest. You can request arrest reports from the law enforcement agency that made the arrest.

The Florida Department of Corrections keeps records for anyone sentenced to state prison. Their online offender database shows current and former state inmates. This is separate from county jail records. If someone was transferred to state prison, their booking record will show the transfer date.

Property records, business licenses, and vital records are also public in Florida but are kept by different agencies. The county property appraiser has land ownership records. The Department of State maintains business entity registrations. The county health department or vital statistics office has birth and death certificates.
