Search Kendall Busted Mugshots

Kendall busted mugshots are kept by the Miami-Dade Police Department. Kendall is an unincorporated census-designated place in southern Miami-Dade County with about 78,500 residents. Because Kendall has no city government and no municipal police, the Miami-Dade Police Department is the sole law enforcement agency for the area. Arrest records from Kendall go straight into the county system. You can access mugshots, booking data, and charge information through the Miami-Dade records system or by contacting the Central Records Bureau at 305-471-3220. Florida public records law gives everyone the right to search these records anonymously.

Kendall Arrest Records and County Police

Kendall has no police department of its own. As an unincorporated area of Miami-Dade County, all policing falls to the Miami-Dade Police Department. County officers patrol Kendall, investigate crimes, and make arrests. Every arrest in Kendall is a Miami-Dade Police arrest from the moment it happens. There is no transfer from a city agency to a county one, like you see in places like Miami or Hialeah.

This setup simplifies the records search in one way. You only need to check one source for Kendall busted mugshots: the Miami-Dade County system. Arrested individuals go to the county jail at 2525 NW 62nd Street in Miami for booking. The mugshot and charge details enter the database at intake. The Central Records Bureau, located at 9105 NW 25th Street in Doral, manages public access to these records under the direction of Oliver S. Spicer Jr.

Kendall stretches along the Kendall Drive corridor south of Miami. It is a heavily suburban area with shopping centers, residential developments, and schools. The types of arrests range from DUI and drug charges to fraud and domestic cases. All of it ends up in the same county database.

Note: Kendall is unincorporated, so the Miami-Dade Police Department is the only law enforcement agency handling arrests there.

Kendall Mugshot Search Resources

The Miami-Dade Central Records Bureau manages access to arrest records from Kendall and everywhere else in the county. The screenshot below shows the Miami-Dade County records page where you can learn about requesting arrest records and booking information.

You can reach the Central Records Bureau at 305-471-3220 or by fax at 305-471-2072. Email requests go to recordsrequest@mdso.com. Walk-in visits are by appointment only, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The bureau handles arrest forms, police reports, crash reports, and clearance letters. For Kendall-specific records, provide the date and location of the arrest or the name of the arrested person to speed up your search.

Florida Law and Kendall Arrest Records

Kendall arrest records are public under Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes. This law covers all records made or received by government agencies, including the Miami-Dade Police Department. Mugshots, booking details, charges, and bond amounts from Kendall arrests are all covered. Section 119.01 says providing access is a duty of every agency in the state.

Anonymous requests are allowed. You do not need to give your name, provide identification, or state a reason. This is true for online searches, phone inquiries, and in-person visits to the Central Records Bureau. Standard copy fees are 15 cents per single-sided page if you need physical documents.

Exemptions are narrow. Law enforcement officer booking photos can be withheld under Section 119.071 if the officer has filed for confidentiality. Victim information in sexual offense cases is also protected. Outside of these specific situations, Kendall busted mugshots and arrest records are fully public.

Sealing Kendall Busted Mugshots

If you were arrested in Kendall and want the record removed, Florida offers two options. Sealing under Section 943.059 hides the record from public searches. Expungement under Section 943.0585 destroys it. Both require an application through FDLE's seal and expunge section. The fee is $75 by money order to FDLE, and processing takes about 12 weeks.

Contact FDLE at 850-410-7870 or email SEinfo@fdle.state.fl.us. If your petition is granted, the Miami-Dade County system removes the Kendall arrest from public access. But private mugshot websites do not have to comply. They operate outside the scope of the court order. This is an important detail that many people miss when starting the process. The court order covers government records only.

Not all Kendall arrests qualify. Certain offenses are excluded, and if you have had a record sealed or expunged before, you may not be eligible again. A Florida attorney can review your specific situation and advise on next steps.

State Databases for Kendall Records

Beyond Miami-Dade County, state databases provide additional ways to find Kendall arrest information. The Florida Jail Information System aggregates booking data from agencies across the state. It covers Miami-Dade entries including those from Kendall. The Florida DOC offender search tracks anyone sentenced to state prison.

The Florida Department of State has a directory of all county jails and inmate search tools statewide. FDLE background checks cost $24 and can be started by calling 850-410-8109.

Note: State databases may update more slowly than the county system, so check both sources for the most current Kendall records.

Miami-Dade County Records

Kendall is part of Miami-Dade County, the most populous county in Florida. All Kendall arrests process through the county jail at 2525 NW 62nd Street in Miami. The county phone number is 786-263-7000. Public records requests can also go to the Central Records Bureau in Doral at 9105 NW 25th Street, 33172.
