Arrested in Longwood? All Seminole County bookings process through the John E. Polk Correctional Facility. We connect you with licensed local bondsmen.
Longwood has its own police department (LPD) serving this small but active Seminole County city of about 15,000 residents along SR-434. All arrests transport to the John E. Polk Correctional Facility in Sanford, about 15 minutes north on I-4 or US-17/92. LPD operates from 275 W. Warren Avenue.
SR-434 runs through Longwood as a major commercial corridor connecting I-4 to Winter Springs and Oviedo. DUI enforcement is concentrated along this route, particularly between I-4 and US-17/92. Longwood's historic district along Church Avenue has a small but growing entertainment scene. All Seminole County cases are heard at the courthouse in Sanford. For jail details, see our Sanford page.
Despite its small size, Longwood PD maintains a fully staffed patrol force, detective bureau, and dedicated traffic unit. The department handles its own investigations but relies on the Seminole County jail system for booking and detention. LPD's proximity to the I-4 corridor means the department assists with highway incidents and overflow enforcement regularly.
Longwood is primarily residential with historic neighborhoods dating to the 1880s. The city's quiet character contrasts with the busy commercial corridors just outside city limits. Domestic incidents and neighborhood disputes make up a significant portion of LPD's arrest activity. All cases process through the Seminole County court system at the Sanford courthouse.
Wekiva Springs Road runs through Longwood connecting to Altamonte Springs and Apopka. This residential corridor sees steady traffic enforcement by both LPD and the Seminole County Sheriff. Altamonte Springs has its own police department, so jurisdiction switches depending on which side of the city boundary the arrest occurs, but both cities book at the same Sanford jail.
Surety bonds (10% non-refundable premium) and cash bonds are accepted. Bonding agents must be registered with the Seminole County Clerk of Court. Call (941) 477-6888 to reach a registered Seminole 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.
