Arrested in Parkland? All Broward County bookings process through the Broward County Main Jail. We connect you with licensed local bondsmen.
Parkland is an affluent city in northwestern Broward County. The city contracts with the Broward Sheriff's Office (BSO) for law enforcement (Parkland District). All arrests transport to the Broward County Main Jail in Fort Lauderdale, about 35 minutes southeast.
Parkland was intentionally designed to preserve its equestrian character and large-acreage zoning, resisting the dense commercialization of neighboring Coral Springs. BSO deputies assigned to the Parkland District focus heavily on property protection, traffic calming, and maintaining the highly secure, family-oriented environment.
University Drive is a primary artery, but the city's infrastructure is heavily focused on multi-use trails and preserving green space. There is very little retail zoning. This virtually eliminates retail theft, meaning law enforcement activity consists primarily of traffic enforcement and residential alarm response.
Parkland sits directly on the Palm Beach County border (Boca Raton). Jurisdictional issues occasionally require coordination with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. The city's extreme wealth means violent crime is incredibly rare; it consistently ranks as one of the safest cities in Florida.
The Broward County Clerk at (954) 831-6565 handles case lookups. The 17th Circuit courthouse is in downtown Fort Lauderdale. The extreme distance from the northwestern corner of the county to the downtown jail significantly extends the booking process.
Following the 2018 tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, school safety is the absolute paramount priority in Parkland. BSO and the city have implemented unprecedented, massive security protocols. The law enforcement presence around the schools is extraordinarily high. The community demands and receives a concierge level of proactive police service to ensure the highest possible safety standards.
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.
