Criminal Cases in the Brevard County Circuit Court
In Florida the public criminal record is the court file. Criminal cases from Rockledge are heard by the Brevard County Circuit Court, which hears felonies, civil cases over $50,000, divorces, probate and juvenile matters; the County Court takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, small claims and civil cases up to $50,000, and the file of each case is kept by the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at brevardclerk.us/case-search (page title: Case Search | Brevard County, Florida | Clerk of the Court), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.
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 Rockledge
The Brevard County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Rockledge (filed by the FBI as Rockledge Police Department) keep the arrest records in and around Rockledge: 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 one other agency, five state agencies and one state police unit in Brevard County (the arrest records guide names each one); each keeps the records of its own arrests.
Together, the six agencies in Brevard County with all twelve months of 2024 on file reported 11,258 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 Rockledge arrest records.
The State Attorney for Brevard County
Charges in Brevard County are filed by the State Attorney, which reviews the arrests of every agency in the county and brings the cases in the Brevard County Circuit Court or the County Court.
The office's page SearchSystems verified is at sa18.org (page title: Office of the State Attorney | 18th Judicial Circuit), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on October 9, 2026.
The Sex Offender Registry for Rockledge
Registered sex offenders living in Rockledge are listed on the Florida Sexual Offenders and Predators Registry, run by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement at offender.fdle.state.fl.us. The registry is public and can be searched online.
Registration itself is done in person with the local agency where the registrant lives: the sheriff's office, or the city police in a city with its own department.
Asking an Agency in Brevard 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.
Under the Florida Public Records Act (Chapter 119) a county office must answer a request 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. The county records request page SearchSystems verified is at brevardclerk.us/public-records-requests (page title: Public Records Requests | Public Records Search | Brevard County, Florida | Clerk of the Court).
