The Sheriff's Office of Broward County has an Arrest Search tool you can use, linked here, if you want to try to locate an inmate through their online Inmate Search. It's important that you use the arrestee's legal first and last name which is how they will have been booked into the Facility_name_1.
Although video visitation is offered, if you want to see a friend or family member who is in North Broward Bureau, you will have to go to a different location to conduct the visit at a Video Visitation Center. This separate address is where all Broward County jail visitations take place. The address is 3700 West Oakland Park Blvd., Lauderdale Lakes, Florida. If you click on Visits, or you scroll down, you can see the details of hours and rules for visitation. The other facilities holding visitation here are Central Intake Bureau, Joseph Conte Facility, Main Jail Bureau, and Paul Rein Detention Facility.
North Broward Bureau has a stated goal of keeping its inmates safe and returning them to the streets better prepared to stay out of jail, but the Broward County Sheriff's Department has been the subject of internal affairs investigations regarding excessive force on the part of deputies and inmate abuses at North Broward Bureau. One particularly chilling case involved a woman who gave birth alone in an isolation cell.
Fortunately, advocates are working to make conditions safer for pregnant inmates. North Broward Bureau was the first jail in the Broward County to incorporate the Every Mothers Advocate Program. These advocates involve female inmates in a 10-week parenting class with the intention of increasing family stabilization and keeping children out of foster care and with their own family.

To find out if someone you know has been recently arrested and booked into the North Broward Bureau, call the jail’s booking line at 954-831-5900.
There may be an automated method of looking them up by their name over the phone, or you may be directed to speak to someone at the jail. Sometimes the jail staff may ask you the offender’s date of birth to ensure privacy of the offender’s status.
Keep in mind that after an arrest, the information on an offender may not be publicly available for several hours.
If you don’t want to check up on an offender by calling the jail, you can also try looking up people recently booked online.
North Broward Bureau Booking Roster
After being arrested and taken into custody, and after being read their Miranda Rights, an offender will next be transported to the local police or department or the Sheriff’s Department in Broward County for booking.
Booking is very involved and requires multiple steps in the process, however, keep in mind that most attorneys will advise that an offender remain silent and not offer any additional information about the crime they have been arrested for because anything they do say may be recorded and may very well be used against them in court.
Booking includes having their photo (mugshot) and fingerprints taken, as well as being asked a lot of questions about their personal history and state of mind. If it’s a serious felony, their DNA may also be taken. They will also be checked for warrants in Broward County and other Florida and USA jurisdictions.
If the offender was arrested for a DUI offense, and has refused a breathalyzer test, they may also be forced to have blood drawn by a doctor or nurse.
It is also very likely that the offender will undergo a humiliating full body search while in the nude. This includes bending over, spreading their cheeks in the direction of an officer, and coughing. They will also be walked through a metal detector or x-ray machine, like those used at an airport.
The arresting jurisdiction will ask about gang affiliations, tattoos, medical conditions, prescribed medication they are taking, recreational drugs they are on or addicted to, allergies, if they are suicidal, and other relevant information that will help with determining their cell assignment and special needs.
During the arrest and booking process an offender will also have all their personal property confiscated and held for either their release from jail, or with the offender’s approval, released to a friend or family member.
Personal property includes the clothing they are wearing, money, wallets, purses, cell phones, jewelry, body rings, earrings, watches, and even glasses if they are deemed a security risk. If they are allowed to keep their shoes or sneakers, the laces are removed.
At this point the offender will be allowed to make a free phone call to a person of their choice to notify them of their arrest, and/or arrange a bond or bail for their release.
If the offender is being detained and housed while awaiting arraignment, the North Broward Bureau will provide a jail garment and slip-on shoes, a blanket, sheets, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel.
Often, before they are dressed in the jail outfit and brought to their housing location, they will be forced to take a shower and undergo a disinfectant treatment for body and hair lice, scabies or other pests that may be residing on their person.
Booking can take anywhere from an hour to 24 hours or more. It all depends on the number of people that are awaiting processing, the number of staff on duty at the time, and the behavior of the offender.
If the offender is heavily intoxicated and/or violent, the Booking Officer may decide to stick the offender in a holding cell for several hours until they become more manageable.

Your entire visit is being monitored and recorded. Do not say or do anything that you would not want being replayed in court.
You should schedule your visit, in advance, at a time that works best for you.
