Tamarac Busted Mugshots Database

Tamarac busted mugshots are held by the Broward County Sheriff's Office. Tamarac is a city of about 75,150 people in northwest Broward County. Unlike many Broward cities that have their own police departments, Tamarac contracts law enforcement services directly from the Broward County Sheriff. That means the sheriff's deputies who patrol Tamarac and make arrests are county employees. All Tamarac bookings happen at the Broward County jail in Fort Lauderdale. You can search for arrest records and mugshots from Tamarac online through the county arrest search, and Florida law gives you the right to do so without revealing who you are.

Tamarac Arrest Records and Law Enforcement

Tamarac does not operate its own police department. The city contracts with the Broward County Sheriff's Office for all law enforcement services. Deputies assigned to the Tamarac district handle patrols, investigations, and arrests within city limits. This is a key difference from cities like Fort Lauderdale or Hollywood, which have their own police departments. In Tamarac, every arrest is already a Broward County Sheriff arrest from the start.

This arrangement means Tamarac busted mugshots are seamlessly part of the Broward County system. There is no transfer between a city agency and the county. When a deputy makes an arrest in Tamarac, the person goes directly to the Broward County Main Jail at 555 SE 1st Avenue in Fort Lauderdale. The mugshot, charge information, and bond details enter the county database at booking. Searching for Tamarac arrest records means using the Broward County tools.

Note: Tamarac does not have a municipal police department; the Broward County Sheriff provides all police services.

Tamarac Mugshot Search Resources

The Broward County Sheriff's arrest search is where you find Tamarac busted mugshots. You can search by name, date, or booking number. Because Tamarac uses the Broward County Sheriff for policing, the arresting agency on Tamarac arrests will typically show as the Broward Sheriff's Office rather than a city police department. The screenshot below shows the Florida Sheriffs Association website, another statewide resource for finding booking records from any county in Florida.

The Florida Jail Information System run by the Florida Sheriffs Association captures booking records from agencies across the state, including Broward County. You can search for people booked in the last 24 to 72 hours or look up a specific name. For Tamarac arrests, this is a useful backup to the county search tool. The system also lets you set up watch alerts for specific individuals.

Tamarac Records Under Florida Law

Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes makes Tamarac arrest records public. The law says all records made or received by any agency are open for inspection and copying. This includes mugshots, booking information, charges, and bond amounts from Tamarac arrests. Section 119.01 makes it clear that this is a duty of the Broward County Sheriff and every other agency in the state.

You do not need to give your name. No ID is required. You do not need to explain why you want the records. This is a fundamental part of how Florida handles public records. Written requests are helpful but not required. Standard copy fees are 15 cents per single-sided page and 20 cents for double-sided. Certified copies can cost up to $1.00 each.

Sealing Tamarac Busted Mugshots

If you were arrested in Tamarac and want the record hidden or destroyed, Florida law offers two paths. Sealing under Section 943.059 blocks public access to the record. Expungement under Section 943.0585 permanently destroys it. Both require applying through FDLE's seal and expunge section. The fee is $75 by money order to FDLE.

Processing takes about 12 weeks from when FDLE receives a complete application. Call 850-410-7870 or email SEinfo@fdle.state.fl.us with questions. If your petition is approved, the Broward County Sheriff removes the Tamarac booking record from public search tools. Not all Tamarac arrests qualify. Certain offenses are excluded, and if you have had a record sealed or expunged before, eligibility may be limited.

A reality that surprises many people is that private mugshot websites do not have to take down your photo after a court order to seal or expunge. The court order affects government records held by the Broward County Sheriff and FDLE. Third-party sites that have already copied the information operate outside that scope. This is worth understanding before you start the process.

Note: The $75 FDLE fee is nonrefundable regardless of whether the application is approved or denied.

State Databases for Tamarac Records

Beyond Broward County, several state tools can help with Tamarac arrest searches. The Florida Department of State maintains a directory of all county jails and inmate search links statewide. The Florida DOC offender search tracks inmates sentenced to state prison after arrests anywhere in Florida, including Tamarac. FDLE offers statewide criminal history checks for $24 through 850-410-8109.

The FDLE also runs a wanted persons database with active warrants from agencies across the state. If you are looking for someone with an outstanding warrant from a Tamarac-area case, this is a useful tool to check.

Broward County Records

Tamarac is located in Broward County, which handles all of the city's law enforcement through the sheriff's contract. The Broward County Main Jail at 555 SE 1st Avenue in Fort Lauderdale processes all Tamarac bookings. Call the sheriff's office at 954-831-5900 for records requests. If the online arrest search does not have the Tamarac record you need, a formal public records request to the Broward County Sheriff is the next step. Broward County is densely populated and highly urbanized, with dozens of municipalities sharing the same jail and arrest records infrastructure.

Nearby Cities

Tamarac is surrounded by other Broward County cities that share the same county jail and arrest search system. Records from any of these appear in the Broward County database.
