Deerfield Beach Arrest Records at BSO
The Broward County Sheriff's Office runs the main jail at 555 SE 1st Avenue in Fort Lauderdale. All arrests made in Deerfield Beach lead to booking at this facility. A mugshot photo gets taken, charges are recorded, and bond is set. This information enters the BSO database and becomes a public record that anyone can access under Florida law.
Deerfield Beach has its own police department that handles patrol and initial arrests. But once someone is taken into custody, the booking happens through BSO. This is the same process used by every city in Broward County. The BSO system stores all mugshots and arrest data in one place, making it easier to search for records from Deerfield Beach or any other Broward location.

Search Deerfield Beach Busted Mugshots
The Broward County Sheriff's arrest search portal is the best place to start. You can look up people by name or booking date. Results include the booking photo, charges, bond amount, and arrest details for Deerfield Beach and all other Broward County locations.
If the online tool does not show what you need, you can file a public records request with BSO. Under Florida Statute Chapter 119, all government records are open for personal inspection and copying. You do not need to give your name or state a reason. This law covers all Deerfield Beach arrest records in the BSO system. Being specific helps. A full name, date of birth, or arrest date range makes it easier for the records team to pull the right files.

Deerfield Beach Mugshots and Florida Law
Florida has strong public records laws. Booking photos from Deerfield Beach arrests are public under Chapter 119. Anyone can request them. There are limited exceptions though. Section 119.071(4)(d) exempts photos of current or former law enforcement officers if they file for confidentiality. Section 119.071(4)(h) makes victim photos from sexual offenses confidential. Outside of these cases, Deerfield Beach mugshots are open to anyone.
The Florida Jail Information System is a good backup search tool. This statewide database run by the Florida Sheriffs Association collects booking records from agencies across Florida. You can search for people currently in custody or recently booked within 24 to 72 hours. It covers Broward County bookings, which includes all Deerfield Beach arrests.
Removing Deerfield Beach Arrest Records
If you were arrested in Deerfield Beach and the case was dismissed or you were acquitted, you may qualify for sealing or expunging. Sealing hides the record from public view under Section 943.059 of the Florida Statutes. Expunging under Section 943.0585 means the record is physically destroyed. Both processes go through the FDLE Seal and Expunge Section.
The fee is $75 by money order. Processing takes about 12 weeks. You can contact FDLE's seal and expunge section at 850-410-7870 or email SEinfo@fdle.state.fl.us. Keep in mind that removing your Deerfield Beach record from BSO and FDLE databases does not force private mugshot websites to take down copies. Those sites operate independently and are not bound by the court order.
Note: Private mugshot websites are not required to remove Deerfield Beach booking photos even after expungement.
