North Bay Village, Florida, in Miami-Dade County, has about 8,300 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 Miami-Dade 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 North Bay Village
The FBI lists North Bay Village with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as North Bay Village Police Department. It reported 66 arrests for 2025. 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.

The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Miami-Dade County: the Department of Law Enforcement at Miami-Dade County, Miami, the Department of Corrections, Office of the Inspector General in Miami-Dade County, the Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco in Miami-Dade County, the Department of Insurance in Miami-Dade County and three more (state agency); Florida International University (campus police); Miami-Dade County Public Schools (other); the Highway Patrol in Miami-Dade County (state police).
How Many Arrests North Bay Village Reports
Each agency reports its arrests to the FBI by month, and the FBI publishes them 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.
- North Bay Village: 66 for 2025, 77 for 2024, 90 for 2023, 67 for 2022, 54 for 2020 and 52 for 2019; 2021 is missing months.

Booking: Where People Arrested in North Bay Village Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in North Bay Village 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 4,450 people on an average day, up from about 4,180 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2023, the last year with a capacity figure, was 4,660 beds, and it ran at 92 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Miami-Dade County Police Department at miamidade.gov/global/service.page?Mduid_service=ser1491494549439906 (page title: Inmate In-Custody Search), phone 786-263-7000, 3505 NW 107 Ave., Doral, FL 33178, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 29, 2026.
That page is the place to look for someone who was booked recently; a person cited and released at the scene, or held only a few hours by a city department, will not be on it.
A person sentenced to prison serves the sentence in a facility of the Florida Department of Corrections, whose inmate locator is at fdc.myflorida.com.
How to Find Out About an Arrest in North Bay Village
Whether someone was arrested in North Bay Village, and what came of it, shows up in three places: the custody page of the Miami-Dade County Police Department described above, for anyone booked into the county jail; the case index of the Miami-Dade County Circuit Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at miamidadeclerk.gov/clerk/records.page); the State Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at miamisao.com).
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 North Bay Village
