Coral Springs, Florida, in Broward County, has about 141,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and its arrests are reported to the FBI by an agency of its own. An arrest in the city leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at the county jail, and, if the State Attorney files charges, a case in the Broward County Circuit Court. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts the agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Coral Springs
The FBI lists Coral Springs with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Coral Springs Police Department. It reported 1,601 arrests for 2023, its latest complete year. A city is listed separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
Outside the city, the Broward County Sheriff's Office is the county agency.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Broward County: the Fort Lauderdale Airport Police, Broward County Schools and the Port Everglades Police Department (other); the Department of Corrections, Office of the Inspector General in Broward County, the Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco in Broward County, the Department of Insurance in Broward County, the Broward County Florida Game Commission and two more (state agency); the Highway Patrol in Broward County (state police).
How Many Arrests Coral Springs Reports
The FBI publishes every agency's monthly arrest counts on the Crime Data Explorer. These are the full-year totals, all offenses, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026; a year with months missing or not reported is left out.
- Coral Springs: 1,601 for 2023 and 945 for 2022.
Coral Springs's 1,601 arrests in 2023 were up 69 percent from 945 in 2022.
Across Broward County, the five agencies with all twelve months of 2023 on file reported 4,591 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Coral Springs Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Coral Springs and kept in custody ends up, whichever agency made the arrest, though a city department may hold someone in its own cells first and a person cited and released at the scene is never booked. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and once the person is released or sentenced the record continues in the court file.
So far in 2026 the jail has held about 4,070 people on an average day, up from about 3,710 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2023, the last year with a capacity figure, was 5,144 beds, and it ran at 68 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Coral Springs
For Coral Springs the place to look is the case index of the Broward County Circuit Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at browardclerk.org/web2, phone (954) 831-6565).
Florida is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: anyone can run a name-based criminal history search online for $24, for $24 a search, through the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. That record shows what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Coral Springs
The report of an arrest is released by the agency that made it; the jail and the court hold their own records of the same event, but not the report. Under the Florida Public Records Act (Chapter 119) the agency must answer promptly and in good faith; the statute sets no number of days, and it may charge the copy fees set by statute, plus a special service charge for large requests.
