The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office provides the public Arrests & Inmate Search information for people looking for current and prior offenses tied to Sarasota County Jail bookings.
Sarasota County Arrests & Inmate Search
Use the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office Arrests & Inmate Search page for arrest and inmate information provided by the Sheriff's Office.
The information is offered for citizens, inmate family members or friends, attorneys, law enforcement, and others. It includes current and prior offenses, but it does not show the final outcome of criminal justice proceedings.

Search result limits and updates
The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office updates arrest and inmate information regularly, but the information can change quickly. Online results may not show a detainee's true current location, custody status, release date, or other updated details.
Technical issues can also delay updates. Treat online results as a starting point, especially when you need current custody details or official case outcomes.
Arrest reports and court disposition
