Criminal Cases in the Pinellas County Circuit Court
A criminal case from Pinellas Park is filed in the Pinellas County Circuit Court or the County Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, small claims and civil cases up to $50,000, and the court file, kept by the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller, is the record of it that the public may see.

Florida has no single public index of every trial court case; each court's records are looked up through that court.
The Florida Criminal History and Your Own Copy
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. The result is the repository record, what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it. The search is on the Florida Department of Law Enforcement site.
Arrest Records Kept Locally in Pinellas Park
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Pinellas Park (filed by the FBI as Pinellas Park Police Department) keep the arrest records in and around Pinellas Park: the report and the booking record of each arrest stay with the agency that made it, separate from the court file and from the state repository.
The FBI's agency list also places six state agencies, one other agency, one campus police department and one state police unit in Pinellas County (the arrest records guide names each one); each keeps the records of its own arrests.
Together, the 19 agencies in Pinellas County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 16,944 arrests to the FBI that year; how each case ended is in the court file, not in the arresting agency's.
The agencies and their counts, year by year, are in Pinellas Park arrest records.
The State Attorney for Pinellas County
Charges in Pinellas County are filed by the State Attorney, which reviews the arrests of every agency in the county and brings the cases in the Pinellas County Circuit Court or the County Court.

Asking an Agency in Pinellas County for a Record
An arrest report, a booking record or a local criminal history letter comes from the agency that holds it, not from the court.
