Bail Bonds in Key Biscayne, Florida

Key Biscayne PD to TGK

Key Biscayne has its own police department (KBPD) serving this exclusive barrier island village accessible via the Rickenbacker Causeway from Miami. All arrests transport to TGK Correctional Center in Miami, about 25 minutes northwest. KBPD operates from 85 W. McIntyre Street.

Crandon Park and Bill Baggs

Crandon Park and Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park occupy much of Key Biscayne. The Miami Open tennis tournament was held at Crandon Park through 2018. Park rangers handle state park enforcement; Crandon Park is Miami-Dade county park jurisdiction. Both facilities generate seasonal beach and water enforcement.

Rickenbacker Causeway

The Rickenbacker Causeway is the only road access to Key Biscayne. DUI enforcement on the causeway is active, particularly on weekend evenings. Causeway tolls create a traffic bottleneck. KBPD and Miami-Dade PD coordinate on causeway enforcement. An arrest on the causeway must determine the exact jurisdiction.

Affluent Island Community

Key Biscayne is one of the wealthiest communities in Miami-Dade County. White-collar crime, domestic disputes, and property theft are more common than street crime. KBPD maintains a small force with marine patrol capabilities for the surrounding waters.

Miami-Dade County Clerk

The Miami-Dade County Clerk at (305) 275-1155 handles case lookups. TGK processes all Miami-Dade arrests. The 11th Circuit courthouse is at 1351 NW 12th Street in downtown Miami. Key Biscayne's isolated island location means longer transport times to TGK than mainland communities.

Virginia Key Neighbor

Virginia Key sits between Miami and Key Biscayne along the Rickenbacker Causeway. The Virginia Key Beach Park and Miami Seaquarium generate separate enforcement. Virginia Key is in City of Miami jurisdiction, while Key Biscayne has its own PD. An arrest on Virginia Key goes through Miami PD and the Miami-Dade system, same jail but different arresting agency than KBPD.
