Arrested in Lighthouse Point? All Broward County bookings process through the Broward County Main Jail. We connect you with licensed local bondsmen.
Lighthouse Point has its own police department (LHP PD) serving this affluent coastal city in northern Broward County. All arrests transport to the Broward County Main Jail in Fort Lauderdale, about 25 minutes south. LHP PD operates from 3701 NE 22nd Avenue.
US-1 (Federal Highway) forms the western boundary of the city. This commercial corridor generates the majority of the city's traffic enforcement, accident response, and retail theft. Once east of US-1, the city transitions immediately into wealthy, quiet residential neighborhoods.
Lighthouse Point is famous for having more miles of canals than roads. Most homes have deep-water dockage. The LHP PD Marine Unit and FWC heavily patrol the waterways and the Hillsboro Inlet for BUI, wake zone violations, and marine theft. Marine security is a massive priority.
The city is an affluent enclave bordered by Pompano Beach (south) and Deerfield Beach (north). LHP PD focuses heavily on property protection, deterring vehicle burglaries, and maintaining a highly visible, community-oriented presence. The crime rate is significantly lower than the surrounding municipalities.
The Broward County Clerk at (954) 831-6565 handles case lookups. The 17th Circuit courthouse is in downtown Fort Lauderdale. The distance to the main jail means booking takes longer, but the low crime rate makes arrests relatively infrequent.
The Hillsboro Inlet is a major navigational access point to the Atlantic Ocean. LHP PD and FWC monitor the inlet heavily for boating safety and to prevent narcotics smuggling. The city's strict zoning—no buildings over three stories and extremely limited commercial space—keeps the population density low and ensures the police department can focus entirely on maintaining the high-end residential security.
Surety bonds (10% non-refundable premium) and cash bonds are accepted. Bonding agents must be registered with the Broward County Clerk of Court. Call (941) 477-6888 to reach a registered Broward 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.
