The North Broward Detention is a detention center located at 1550 NW 30th Ave Pompano Beach, FL which is operated locally by the Broward County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Broward County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Pompano Beach Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for Florida here.

Operating as a minimum to medium security and special needs detention facility, the North Broward Bureau oversees the North Broward Detention Center, catering to both male and female inmates. Notably, it accommodates protective custody for female offenders and female juveniles. Established in 1979, the facility has transformed, with obsolete structures being replaced by modern and functional facilities. Currently, the jail houses approximately 1,200 inmates, with its primary focus on managing the mentally ill, medically infirm, and special needs inmate population.

Housing assignments are determined objectively, prioritizing the least restrictive and safest units based on the required security level. Proximity to an inmate's home does not influence assignment decisions; rather, inmates are placed where their needs can be best met.

In terms of inmate activities, services, and programs, provisions such as television access, reading materials, outdoor recreation, and exercise equipment are available. Additionally, the BSO's Department of Detention & Community Programs offers a diverse array of services, covering educational, therapeutic, and rehabilitative needs. These include various programs ranging from adult basic education to substance abuse treatment, catering to the holistic well-being of the inmate population.
