Arrested in Coleman? All Sumter County bookings process through the Sumter County Detention Center. We connect you with licensed local bondsmen.
Coleman has its own police department (CPD) serving this small Sumter County city near Wildwood. All arrests transport to the Sumter County Detention Center in Bushnell, about 10 minutes south. CPD operates from 3502 E. Warm Springs Avenue.
Coleman is best known for the Federal Correctional Complex (FCC Coleman), one of the largest federal prison complexes in the country. Federal prison incidents are handled by federal authorities, not CPD. However, the complex brings visitors and staff to the area.
US-301 runs north-south through Coleman connecting Wildwood to Bushnell. Traffic enforcement, particularly speed control, is a primary law enforcement activity. Coleman's small municipal boundaries mean CPD patrol is highly concentrated along the highway.
Coleman sits just south of Wildwood and the expanding boundaries of The Villages. The regional growth has increased traffic through the small city. The town itself maintains its rural, working-class character despite the surrounding development.
The Sumter County Clerk at (352) 569-6600 handles case lookups. The 5th Circuit courthouse is in Bushnell. Coleman's proximity to the county seat makes the booking and court appearance process relatively quick compared to other Sumter County communities.
As The Villages expands southward toward Coleman, the town is experiencing developmental pressure. The agricultural lands surrounding the town are transitioning. CPD focuses on maintaining local order while the county handles regional traffic flow on US-301. The presence of the federal prison complex means a high concentration of federal employees live in or commute through the Coleman area.
Surety bonds (10% non-refundable premium) and cash bonds are accepted. Bonding agents must be registered with the Sumter County Clerk of Court. Call (941) 477-6888 to reach a registered Sumter County bondsman who can post at the facility.
All arrests in these cities are processed through the county jail. The booking and bail process described above applies to every one of them.
