Doral Mugshot Search Resources

The Miami-Dade Police Department operates the law enforcement systems that handle Doral arrests. The Doral Police Department makes local arrests, but booking and records processing flow through the county system. The image below shows the Miami-Dade Police Department page, which is the main portal for arrest record access across the entire county, including Doral.

From this page you can find links to arrest search tools, inmate lookup, and public records request forms. The Doral Police Department does not maintain its own separate public arrest database. Everything goes through Miami-Dade. The county jail at 2525 NW 62nd Street in Miami processes all bookings, and the mugshots taken at intake become part of the searchable county system.

Florida Law and Doral Arrest Records

Chapter 119 of Florida Statutes governs public records across the state. It says that all records made or received by any agency are open for personal inspection and copying. Doral busted mugshots fall under this rule. The law applies to the Miami-Dade Police Department, the Doral Police Department, and every other law enforcement agency in the state. Section 119.01 is clear that providing access is a duty, not something optional.

You do not need to explain your reason for wanting Doral arrest records. Florida law protects anonymous requests. You do not even need to put your request in writing, though a written request usually speeds things up. The Central Records Bureau in Doral follows these same rules when handling walk-in visitors and mail requests.

Some records have limited exemptions. Under Section 119.071, booking photos of current or former law enforcement officers can be withheld if the officer files a confidentiality request. Victim information in sexual offense cases stays protected. But for the vast majority of Doral arrests, everything from the mugshot to the charge sheet is public. Standard copy fees are 15 cents per page for single-sided and 20 cents for double-sided documents.

Sealing Doral Busted Mugshots

If you were arrested in Doral and want to remove the record, Florida offers two paths. Court-ordered sealing under Section 943.059 hides the record from the public but keeps it available to courts and law enforcement. Expungement under Section 943.0585 goes further and physically destroys the record. Both options go through FDLE's seal and expunge process.

The cost is $75 by money order paid to FDLE. It takes about 12 weeks to process. You can call the FDLE seal and expunge section at 850-410-7870 or email SEinfo@fdle.state.fl.us. Not all Doral arrests qualify. If you have been granted a sealing or expungement before, that limits your options. Certain serious offenses are not eligible at all.

One thing that catches people off guard is that private websites that post mugshots are not required to take them down even after a court order. The sealing or expungement affects the official government records held by Miami-Dade County and FDLE, but third-party sites operate under different rules.

Note: Contact a Florida attorney if you are unsure whether your Doral arrest qualifies for sealing or expungement.

Doral Mugshots and State Databases

Beyond the county-level search, several state databases can help you find Doral busted mugshots and related records. The Florida Jail Information System through the Florida Sheriffs Association pulls booking data from agencies across the state. It lets you search by name, view recent bookings from the last 24 to 72 hours, and set up watch alerts. Doral bookings that go through the Miami-Dade jail system are included.

The Florida Department of State maintains a directory of all 67 county jails with links to their inmate search tools. For people sentenced to state prison after a Doral arrest, the Florida DOC offender search tracks their location and status. FDLE also maintains a statewide criminal history database accessible for $24 through a background check.

Miami-Dade County Records

Doral is part of Miami-Dade County, which is the most populous county in Florida. The county jail at 2525 NW 62nd Street in Miami handles intake for every arrest in the county. The main office number is 786-263-7000. If the online arrest search does not show what you need, you can file a formal public records request with the Central Records Bureau right here in Doral at 305-471-3220.

Miami-Dade County uses its own police department rather than a traditional sheriff's office. This is unique in Florida. The Miami-Dade Police Department handles law enforcement for unincorporated areas and supports the many municipalities in the county, including Doral. All arrest data ultimately flows into the county records system managed from the Doral office.
