Brevard County, Florida Inmate Search

Brevard County law enforcement is responsible for arresting individuals and taking them through booking procedures before transferring them to the county jail.

During booking, identifying information, charges, and custody details are recorded. These records are the information typically provided when members of the public conduct a Brevard County inmate search through the Sheriff’s Office. This office operates the county jail.

The three most noteworthy police forces in the county are the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) and the police agencies in the cities of Palm Bay and Melbourne. City police departments may maintain temporary holding cells for short-term detention, but the county jail is the primary long-term holding facility for detainees. Individuals who are not released or bailed within 24 hours are typically transferred to the main county jail.

These streams typically occur each weekday at 1:15 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays at 9:00 a.m.

How to Use the Brevard County Jail Roster

The Sheriff’s Office allows access to its jail roster through the Arrest Inquiry database. The available options for an inmate search are

• Date Search: The portal has From Date and To Date fields. Users can select any supported range. If the date fields are set to the current date, the tool transforms into a police blotter, providing details of arrests conducted within the past 24 hours.

A date search may be used when the inmate’s name is unknown, but an approximate booking date is available.

• Name Search: The portal has fields for Last Name and First Name. Users can use either or both to search, depending on how much personal information they know.
• Number Search: The public can query the portal using a subject number or a booking number if either is known. The latter is a unique number tied to each arrest event. The former is a unique and permanent identifier for an individual across all their encounters with the county’s criminal justice system.

Users may complete any combination of search fields, then click the Search button to display results.

The main Brevard County Jail Complex uses the Arrest Inquiry database on the Sheriff’s Office’s website as its official jail roster. Individuals can look up adult male and female inmates through the portal.

People in alternative sentencing, such as Work Release or Sheriff’s Farm programs, are considered standard inmates and can be found on the official public roster.

However, the Brevard County Juvenile Center does not provide a public roster under Florida Statute § 985.04, which protects the identities of minors in the justice system. Parents and legal guardians must contact the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) for information about a juvenile inmate.
