Finding Someone in Custody in Winter Garden
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Winter Garden is held at the county jail, run by the Orange County Sheriff's Office, whichever agency made the arrest.
SearchSystems opened and checked the jail page of the Orange County Sheriff's Office at netapps.ocfl.net/BestJail/Home/Inmates (page title: Inmates | OCFL), phone (407) 836-3400, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on October 1, 2026.
