Arrested in Havana? All Gadsden County bookings process through the Gadsden County Jail. We connect you with licensed local bondsmen.
Havana has its own police department (HPD) serving this historic town in eastern Gadsden County. All arrests transport to the Gadsden County Jail in Quincy, about 15 minutes west. HPD operates from 121 E. 7th Avenue.
Havana is renowned as the "Antiques Capital of Florida." The downtown district features numerous antique shops, cafes, and art galleries that attract weekend tourists. HPD focuses on property protection, foot patrol in the commercial district, and managing the influx of visitors.
US-27 runs directly through Havana, connecting the town to Tallahassee just a few miles south. The highway carries heavy commuter traffic. Traffic enforcement, especially speed control for drivers entering the historic city limits from the rural highway, is strictly enforced by HPD.
The town sits on the Gadsden-Leon county line. Cross-jurisdictional issues, particularly traffic violations that cross the county line, are common. An arrest right on the border requires confirming jurisdiction; a Leon County arrest goes to the Tallahassee jail, not Quincy.
The Gadsden County Clerk at (850) 875-8601 handles case lookups. The 2nd Circuit covers six counties including Leon. The Gadsden County Courthouse is in Quincy. Havana's close proximity to Tallahassee means many residents commute, influencing the town's daily demographic.
Havana's downtown arts and antiques district is a major economic driver. HPD utilizes proactive community policing, including foot and bicycle patrols, to ensure a safe environment for shoppers and business owners. The town's historic shade tobacco industry heritage is still celebrated. While violent crime is low, HPD remains vigilant against property crime and traffic violations on the busy US-27 corridor connecting to Georgia.
