Arrested in Kendall? All Miami-Dade County bookings process through the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. We connect you with licensed local bondsmen.
Kendall is a massive unincorporated census-designated place in southern Miami-Dade County. There is no city police; the Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD) provides law enforcement via the Kendall District Station. All arrests transport to TGK Correctional Center, about 20 minutes north.
If Kendall were incorporated, it would be one of the largest cities in Florida. The immense population generates a high volume of domestic disturbances, property crimes, and community policing needs. MDPD's Kendall District operates essentially as a large municipal police force tailored to this specific area.
The Dadeland Mall and the US-1 (South Dixie Highway) corridor are major commercial hubs. Retail theft, organized retail crime, and intense traffic congestion dominate law enforcement activity in these zones. The convergence of US-1, SR-826 (Palmetto), and the Snapper Creek Expressway creates complex traffic enforcement scenarios.
Kendall Drive (SW 88th Street) runs east-west through the community and is notoriously congested. Accident response and aggressive driving enforcement are constant. The community features diverse neighborhoods ranging from high-density apartments to affluent acreage estates to the west.
The Miami-Dade County Clerk at (305) 275-1155 handles case lookups. The 11th Circuit courthouse is in downtown Miami. Due to its unincorporated status, Kendall relies entirely on county-level services for all judicial and law enforcement processes.
The Miami Dade College Kendall Campus brings a massive daily influx of students to the area. While MDC has its own campus police, the surrounding traffic and off-campus student housing impact MDPD's patrol strategies. Kendall's vast size means MDPD divides the area into multiple specific patrol grids, treating the different neighborhoods (from urbanized Dadeland to the suburban Hammocks) as distinct enforcement zones.
Surety bonds (10% non-refundable premium) and cash bonds are accepted. Bonding agents must be registered with the Miami-Dade County Clerk of Court. Call (941) 477-6888 to reach a registered Miami-Dade 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.
