Arrested in Madeira Beach? All Pinellas County bookings process through the Pinellas County Jail. We connect you with licensed local bondsmen.
Madeira Beach has its own police department (MBPD) serving this barrier island community known as "Mad Beach." All arrests transport to the Pinellas County Jail in Clearwater, about 20 minutes northeast. MBPD operates from 300 Municipal Drive.
John's Pass Village and Boardwalk is one of Pinellas County's most popular tourist attractions, with shops, restaurants, and charter fishing boats. Weekend crowds generate alcohol-related, theft, and disorderly conduct arrests. MBPD patrols John's Pass on foot during peak hours. The fishing piers and charter boat area also see FWC enforcement for fishing and boating violations.
Madeira Beach is home to one of the largest commercial and charter fishing fleets on Florida's Gulf Coast. The John's Pass area hosts dozens of charter boats and party fishing boats. FWC enforcement targets fishing violations, catch limits, and commercial fishing regulations. Charter boat captains and crews occasionally face enforcement for operating violations. All marine-related arrests in Pinellas waters book at the Clearwater jail.
The Gulf Boulevard corridor through Madeira Beach connects to Treasure Island to the south and Redington Beach to the north. The string of beach bars and restaurants creates a nightlife scene that generates DUI enforcement. MBPD's traffic unit focuses on Gulf Blvd DUI during peak evening hours. Mad Beach Craft Brewing Company and surrounding venues anchor the local entertainment scene.
Madeira Beach hosts the annual John's Pass Seafood Festival, one of the largest outdoor festivals in the Tampa Bay area, drawing over 100,000 visitors. The festival and other events generate concentrated DUI, parking, and public intoxication enforcement. MBPD deploys its full force during major events and coordinates with PCSO for traffic management on the causeway approaches to the island.
