How to Search Pompano Beach Warrants

The best place to start is the FDLE Wanted Persons search. Enter a name and check the results. The search is free and covers all 67 Florida counties including Broward. Results list the warrant type and issuing agency. The FDLE system updates daily, but very recent Pompano Beach warrants may not appear right away.

The Broward County Clerk of Courts has a public case search online. You can look up criminal case dockets by party name or case number. Warrant and capias activity shows up in the docket entries. This is the best source when you need details about a specific Pompano Beach case. The clerk also processes electronic certified documents if you need official copies of court records related to warrants.

BSO also has an arrest search tool on their site. It shows recent bookings and arrests across Broward County. This can confirm whether a warrant was served on someone in Pompano Beach. Between these three sources, you can get a fairly complete picture of warrant activity.

Note: Pompano Beach warrant records often appear on the BSO or clerk site before they reach the statewide FDLE database.

Types of Warrants in Pompano Beach

Arrest warrants are the most common type in Pompano Beach. A judge issues one after reviewing a complaint and finding probable cause under Florida Statute 901.02. The warrant directs all Florida sheriffs to arrest the named person. It can be served any day, at any hour. Arrest warrants do not expire. They remain in the system until the person is found or a judge decides to recall the warrant. Even old warrants from years ago can result in an arrest during a routine traffic stop in Pompano Beach.

Bench warrants and capias warrants come from the court. These are issued when someone fails to appear for a scheduled hearing. The BSO Warrants Division also handles traffic capias warrants, which are common in a busy city like Pompano Beach. Violation of probation warrants go out when probation conditions are broken. Fugitive warrants apply to people wanted in other states who are located in Broward County.

Search warrants are different from arrest warrants. Under Florida Statute 933.07, a search warrant must be executed within 14 days or it expires. These authorize officers to search a specific place in Pompano Beach for evidence.

Public Records Access in Pompano Beach

Pompano Beach warrant records are public under Florida's Sunshine Law. Florida Statute 119.07 says that anyone can inspect and copy public records from state or local agencies. You do not have to be the subject of the warrant. You do not need to provide a reason. BSO and the Broward Clerk both hold records that are available to the public.

Some records stay private. Active criminal intelligence is exempt under Florida Statute 119.071. Search warrant affidavits remain sealed until the warrant is served or law enforcement determines it cannot be carried out. If you cannot find a warrant online but believe one exists for someone in Pompano Beach, a criminal defense attorney can contact the investigating agency directly.

What to Do About a Pompano Beach Warrant

If you discover a warrant in your name in Pompano Beach, speak with a lawyer before taking action. Do not go to a police station or the Broward County Jail on your own. Under Florida law, surrendering on a warrant means going into custody first. A bail bondsman in Pompano Beach or Fort Lauderdale can help you understand the process and get through booking as quickly as possible.

Under Florida Statute 901.16, the arresting officer must tell you the reason for the arrest and that a warrant has been issued. The officer does not need to carry the warrant at the time. But you have the right to see it if you ask. If you are arrested in a county outside of Broward, the officer must tell you about your right to bail per Florida Statute 901.07.

Note: Warrants issued in Pompano Beach do not expire and can result in arrest anywhere in Florida at any time.
