How to Search Flagler County Arrests

Searching for Flagler County busted mugshots starts with the Sheriff's Office. Call the jail or visit the office in Bunnell. Have the full name of the person you want to find. A date of birth helps if the name is common. Staff can check if someone is in custody and provide basic booking details over the phone.

State-level tools extend your search options beyond just Flagler County. The Florida Jail Information System collects booking data from counties across the state. You can search for people recently booked, set watch alerts, and look up specific names. The Florida Department of State jail directory also links to Flagler County resources.

Palm Coast, the largest city in Flagler County, contracts with the Sheriff's Office for law enforcement services. This means all Palm Coast arrests go through the same Flagler County booking system. The Bunnell Police Department handles arrests within Bunnell city limits, but those bookings also end up at the Flagler County jail. One system covers the whole county.

Flagler County Public Records Access

Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes gives the public a broad right to access government records. Flagler County arrest records and mugshots fall under this law. Section 119.01 states that providing access is a duty of each agency. You can request records without identifying yourself. No reason is required.

A few exemptions exist. Under Section 119.071(4)(d), law enforcement officers can request that their booking photos stay confidential. Victim information in specific types of cases is also protected. But standard Flagler County arrest records, including mugshots of non-law-enforcement individuals, are open to anyone who asks. The Sheriff's Office must make them available within a reasonable time.

Standard copy fees in Florida are 15 cents per single-sided page. Certified copies cost up to $1.00. Complex requests that require significant staff time to process may come with labor charges, but the agency must provide an estimate before proceeding.

Note: Flagler County has grown rapidly, so the volume of arrest records has increased along with its population over the past decade.

Sealing Flagler County Arrest Records

People arrested in Flagler County may be eligible to have their record sealed or expunged. Section 943.059 covers sealing, which hides the record from public view. Section 943.0585 covers expungement, which destroys it. The process starts with getting a certificate of eligibility from the FDLE Seal and Expunge Section at 850.410.7870.

FDLE charges $75 for the certificate. Processing takes around 12 weeks. After you receive the certificate, you file a petition with the 7th Judicial Circuit Court, which serves Flagler County. If the judge grants the petition, the arrest record gets sealed or expunged from government databases. Private websites that already have copies of the Flagler County mugshot are not covered by the order, however. Getting photos removed from those sites requires separate action.
