The Daytona Beach City 72-Hour Booking Records list every person the Daytona Beach Police Department (DBPD) took into custody inside the city limits during the last three days. The list runs nonstop through the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office, which runs the jail where all Daytona Beach arrestees go after police take them in.
Any member of the public can view the list at no cost. No account, app, fee, or stated reason is needed. Each line shows who got booked, when it happened, the charge that led to the arrest, the bond amount set by the booking officer or on-call judge, and the current housing status.
This article explains how the Daytona Beach City 72-Hour Booking Records work, what every field on the page means, how to run a search by name or date, where to turn for older cases past the 72-hour window, and which Florida laws protect your right to see the data. Everything below comes straight from the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office public tools, the Daytona Beach Police Department, and Florida public records law updated through 2026.
What Are Daytona Beach City 72-Hour Booking Records
The Daytona Beach City 72-Hour Booking Records are a rolling arrest list published by the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office (VCSO). The list covers every arrest made inside the city of Daytona Beach in the last three calendar days. Older entries fall off as new ones get pushed up. The list is the fastest free way to check who was taken into custody recently inside the city limits, and it sees use from families, employers, attorneys, journalists, and bail bond agents every day.
Who Runs the Booking System
The Daytona Beach Police Department performs the arrest on the street. The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office runs the jail and the booking system. Every person arrested in Daytona Beach ends up at the Volusia County Branch Jail or the main correctional facility in Daytona Beach itself. Sheriff’s intake staff create the booking record when the arrestee arrives. That record appears in the public list. The police department keeps no separate booking database for arrestees. Booking flows from the city police into the county computer.
What Data Appears in Each Booking
Each entry in the Daytona Beach City 72-Hour Booking Records carries the same set of standard fields. You will see the full legal name, the booking date and time, the age and race of the arrestee, the listed charges, the bond amount, the housing location, and the mugshot. Some entries include a case number tied to the Volusia County court system. Newer entries sometimes show the arresting agency, and that field almost always reads DBPD.
Why Records Are Public in Florida
Florida law treats arrest records as public files. Under Florida Statute Chapter 119, any person can ask for them and the agency must hand them over. The Daytona Beach City 72-Hour Booking Records exist because the law requires the data to be open. The county posts the list online to save both the public and the agency time. No records request is needed when the data sits in a public search tool.
How to Search Daytona Beach Booking Records
Three ways exist to view Daytona Beach City 72-Hour Booking Records. The first is the online 72-hour report that shows every arrest in the past three days. The second is the inmate name search that filters a larger database by the arrestee’s legal name. The third is a direct call or visit to the county jail or police department when the web tools leave a gap.
Using the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office Tool
The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office runs the main inmate search on its public site. To use it, open the inmate inquiries page and type the last name. Add the first name when you know it. Press search. The system shows a list of matches with booking date, charges, bond, and status. There is no fee. No account is needed. The page works on phones, tablets, and desktop browsers. The data refreshes every few hours around the clock.
When you want only Daytona Beach City 72-Hour Booking Records, type the name and look at the booking date. Anything within the last three days sits inside the 72-hour window. Anything older falls outside the window and lives in the longer inmate database, where you can still pull it by name.
Reading the 72-Hour Booking Report
The 72-hour booking report is a separate page maintained by VCSO. It lists every arrest the county processed in the last three days. Daytona Beach arrestees appear in the list because the city is one of the busiest booking sources in Volusia County. Entries are sorted by booking time, with the newest on top. You can scroll through the list without typing anything. Each row links to a detail page with the mugshot and charge details.
Searching by Name vs Date
Use the inmate search when you know a name. Use the 72-hour report when you want to see every arrest without picking a name. If you only know a booking date and not a name, the 72-hour report is your best tool. Open the page each day and scan the new entries. The report has no calendar picker, but the three-day window means you only need to check recent days.
Searching by Charge Type
The county search has no charge-type filter. To find all DUI bookings, for example, you scroll the 72-hour list and read the charge column on your own. For deeper searches by charge type, the FDLE criminal history database lets you run a paid search of $24 per name. That database covers the whole state and goes back further than 72 hours.

Inside the Daytona Beach Booking Process
Booking happens after the arrest but before the first court date. It is the formal step that places the arrestee into the county database. Each step shows up in the public record in a specific way, so it pays to know what happens at the jail after police take someone in off the street.
How the Booking Process Works
Daytona Beach police make the arrest on scene and transport the person to the Volusia County jail. Intake staff run a medical check, take fingerprints, take a photo, and enter basic facts. They type the charges into the county computer system. The system assigns a booking number and a housing cell. From that moment on, the person appears in the public Daytona Beach City 72-Hour Booking Records. The full order from arrest to public record runs as follows.
- Police arrest on scene inside Daytona Beach city limits.
- Suspect gets handcuffed, patted down, and driven to the county jail.
- Medical check at intake for injury, illness, or drug use.
- Fingerprint scan, photo capture, and personal data entry.
- Charge entry by the booking officer based on police reports.
- Bond decision by the booking officer or on-call judge.
- Assignment to a housing dorm or holding cell.
- Record upload to the public Volusia County database.
- Record visible in the 72-hour report after upload completes.
Bond and Release After Booking
Bond gets set at booking for many charges, but serious charges like assault, sex crimes, and DUI with injury need a judge to set bond at first appearance. A person who posts bond leaves the jail within hours of bonding out. Their record stays in the public list for the full 72 hours even after release. Bond amounts depend on the charge. A misdemeanor like petty theft can carry a $250 to $500 bond. A felony DUI can carry $2,500 or more. A no-bond hold goes into effect when the charge is severe or the arrestee has open cases that pose a flight risk.
Bond can be paid at the jail 24 hours a day. Cash and most major credit cards are accepted. A licensed bail bondsman can post bond for a fee, usually ten percent of the bond amount plus some form of collateral. Bondsman rates are regulated by Florida law and cannot go above the legal cap.
Mugshot and Fingerprint Capture
The mugshot gets taken at booking and stored in the county database. Under Florida Statute 901.43, no website can charge a fee to remove a booking photo. You can ask any site that hosts your photo to take it down for free. Local agencies do not run paid removal services. Fingerprints go to the FDLE database and appear in a state criminal history search, but they do not appear on the public booking page next to the mugshot.
Florida Laws That Apply to Daytona Beach Bookings
Three Florida laws decide how booking records work. Each one gives the public the right to see and copy arrest data, with narrow limits for active cases and minors. Knowing these laws helps you push back when an agency wrongly denies your request.
Florida Statute 119 Public Records Law
Florida Statute 119.01 makes all state, county, and city records public. Florida Statute 119.07 lets any person inspect or copy those records without a stated reason. The Daytona Beach City 72-Hour Booking Records are a direct product of this law. Chapter 119 is the reason the county posts the list rather than asking you to file a written request for each name.
Florida Statute 901.43 Mugshot Removal
Florida Statute 901.43 bans paid mugshot removal services. If you see your booking photo on a third-party site, you can demand free removal. The site has thirty days to take the photo down or face a fine from the state. Many sites still publish the photos. They just cannot charge you a fee to remove them.
Juvenile Records and Privacy
Florida Statute 985.04 keeps juvenile arrest records private. You will not see a minor’s name in the public Daytona Beach City 72-Hour Booking Records. If a minor gets charged as an adult, the record becomes public under Chapter 119. Most juvenile cases in Daytona Beach stay sealed through the court process.
State and Regional Booking Databases
The Volusia County tools are not the only way to view Daytona Beach booking data. State tools cover more counties and longer time windows. Each tool has its own scope and price, so picking the right one depends on what you need.
Florida Sheriffs Association Booking Tool
The Florida Sheriffs Association runs a statewide jail lookup that holds more than 22 million booking records. The tool lets you search across all member counties and filter by date range, with 24-hour, 48-hour, and 72-hour views. The system refreshes every hour. The lookup page is free, but you must register a free account to run statewide searches. For Daytona Beach, it shows the same data as the county tool, plus cross-county data when the arrestee has prior holds in other Florida counties.
FDLE Criminal History Search
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement runs the CCHInet service. This paid search costs $24 per name and covers the full state criminal history on file with FDLE. CCHInet is not a booking list. It is a deep records tool that includes arrests, dispositions, and sentences. For a quick check on the past three days, use the county tool. For a full history check, use CCHInet.
The image above shows the FDLE CCHInet login screen, which is the paid gateway to Florida’s full criminal history database used for background checks by employers, licensing boards, and immigration filings.
Other Volusia County Cities
Deltona, Ormond Beach, Port Orange, New Smyrna Beach, and other Volusia County cities feed the same booking system. Records from those cities appear alongside Daytona Beach arrests in the county’s 72-hour report. If you want only Daytona Beach records, look at the arresting agency field on each entry. DBPD means Daytona Beach.
Court Records vs Booking Records
Booking records show the arrest and intake only. Court records show what happened after. The two connect through the case number, but the data lives in separate systems run by separate agencies. Many people confuse the two, so the breakdown below matters.
What Booking Records Show
Booking records show the arrest date, the arresting officer’s agency, the booking officer, the charges at the time of booking, the bond amount, the housing location, and the mugshot. They do not show the court outcome, sentence, probation status, or sealed case status. Booking data lives in the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office system.
What Court Records Show
Court records show the official charges filed by the State Attorney, the plea, the verdict, the sentence, restitution, probation orders, and any sealed or expunged outcomes. Court data lives in the Volusia County Clerk of Court system and the Florida Courts e-filing portal. To look up a Daytona Beach court case, use the Clerk’s online case search or visit the Clerk’s office.
How the Two Connect
The booking record shows a case number that points to the court file. The court file refers back to the booking number on the arrest report. To pull both sides of a single case, you start with the booking record on the VCSO site, copy the case number, and look it up on the Clerk’s site. Each side answers a different question, but the case number links them.
Sealing and Expunging a Daytona Beach Record
Florida law lets a person seal or expunge a booking record under certain conditions. The process is a court action. It does not happen through the sheriff’s office. Sealing hides the record from public view. Expungement destroys the record except for a few agencies that keep a confidential copy for law enforcement use.
Who Qualifies for Sealing
A person can apply to seal a Daytona Beach arrest record if the case ended in a dismissal, a not-guilty verdict, a successful completion of a diversion program, a withheld adjudication, or a nolle prosequi. Certain serious charges like kidnapping, murder, and sex offenses against minors can never be sealed. The waiting period after case closure varies by charge type.
How to Apply for Expungement
Apply for expungement through the Clerk of Court in the county where the arrest happened. For Daytona Beach arrests, that means the Volusia County Clerk. The application needs a Certificate of Eligibility from the FDLE, a sworn affidavit, and a court filing fee. An attorney can file the paperwork for you. The court holds a hearing and signs an order. After the order, the sheriff updates the booking record and the mugshot comes off the public site.
Common Mistakes and Data Accuracy
Booking data can carry errors. Names get misspelled, charges get entered wrong, mugshots stay after release. Knowing what to check keeps you from being misled by bad data.
Wrong Name on a Booking Record
A booking record may show a name that does not match the arrestee’s legal name. This happens when the arrestee gives a fake name at intake or when staff misread the ID. If you spot a record tied to your name and it is not you, contact the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office records unit and provide fingerprints and ID to confirm.
Outdated Bond Amounts
Bond amounts can change after a judge reviews the case at first appearance. The amount in the 72-hour report reflects the bond on file at booking. The court file holds the most current bond. Always check the court file for an active bond before paying.
Records Past the 72-Hour Window
Once an entry rolls off the 72-hour list, it still lives in the longer inmate database for as long as the person stays in custody. After release, the booking record stays in the system for years unless the court seals or expunges it. Use the inmate name search on the VCSO site for older records.

FAQ About Daytona Beach City 72-Hour Booking Records
The questions below cover the most common search requests tied to Daytona Beach City 72-Hour Booking Records. Each answer points to a specific tool, law, or step you can take right now. Use this section as a quick reference when the main search results leave a gap or when a record needs extra steps to clear up.
How current are the Daytona Beach City 72-Hour Booking Records?
The records refresh every few hours through the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office system. New arrests from Daytona Beach appear in the public list once intake finishes the booking step, which usually takes 30 to 90 minutes after the arrest. Older entries drop off after 72 hours pass. There may be short delays during the overnight shift when fewer arrests are processed.
Can I remove my Daytona Beach booking photo from the internet?
Yes. Under Florida Statute 901.43, no website can charge a fee to remove a mugshot. Send a written removal request to the site. The site has 30 days to comply or face a fine. The county’s own posting stays public because Chapter 119 requires it. You can seal or expunge the underlying arrest through the courts if you qualify, and that action removes the data from all public tools.
What if I cannot find someone in the Daytona Beach booking list?
Try the full inmate search on the VCSO site using a last name only. Search for spelling variations. If the person was released on bond and more than 72 hours passed, they fall off the rolling list but stay in the longer inmate database. For older cases, run a paid FDLE CCHInet search. If the person was never arrested in Volusia County, the VCSO tools will not show them.
Are juvenile Daytona Beach arrests shown in the public list?
No. Florida Statute 985.04 seals juvenile arrest records. You will not see a minor’s name or mugshot in the public Daytona Beach City 72-Hour Booking Records. If the minor gets charged as an adult, the record becomes public and appears in the database under the same rules that apply to adult arrestees.
Can I get a certified copy of a Daytona Beach booking record?
Yes. Request a certified copy through the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office records unit in person or by mail. The sheriff charges a small per-page fee under Florida Statute 119.07. Certified copies carry the sheriff’s seal and are valid for court filings, background checks, and immigration paperwork. Requests usually take three to five business days to process.
Does a Daytona Beach arrest mean a conviction?
No. A booking record only shows the arrest and intake. The case outcome, guilty plea, or dismissal happens later in court. Many Daytona Beach bookings end with dropped charges, completed diversion programs, or not-guilty verdicts. The booking record does not show the final outcome. Only the court file reflects what happened after the booking.
How long is a Daytona Beach booking record kept online?
The 72-hour report only keeps entries for three days. The full inmate database keeps entries for years. Sealed or expunged records come off all public tools after the court order goes through. Records that are part of an open criminal case may have some fields hidden from the public tool until the case ends.
