The Fort Lauderdale Jail is a short-term police lock-up located at 1300 W Broward Blvd in Fort Lauderdale, FL. It serves as the holding facility for the Fort Lauderdale Police Department or agencies within the judicial district of Broward County. Police jails are locally operated to hold inmates awaiting transfer to the Broward County Jail or another jurisdiction that issued the arrest warrant.

It is later at the county jail where the offender will be arraigned and read the charges before a magistrate. It is then determined whether the accused will be offered bail. If you are seeking more detailed information about an inmate, please call 954-828-5700 and ask for the booking department or click here for the latest arrest records.

Please be mindful that this lockup is a temporary holding before transfer. Offenders are here no longer than 48-72 hours at the most, therefore commissary, visitation, incoming mail, or telephone calls are NOT AVAILABLE here.
