Arrested in Ponce Inlet? All Volusia County bookings process through the Volusia County Branch Jail. We connect you with licensed local bondsmen.
Ponce Inlet has its own small police department (PIPD) serving this exclusive barrier island community at the southern tip of the Daytona Beach peninsula. All arrests transport to the Volusia County Branch Jail on Red John Road, about 20 minutes north. PIPD operates from 4300 S. Atlantic Avenue.
The Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse, the tallest lighthouse in Florida at 175 feet, is a National Historic Landmark in Ponce Inlet. The lighthouse museum and surrounding area attract tourists. Atlantic Avenue is the only through road. Beach driving is permitted in Ponce Inlet, and DUI on the beach is a common enforcement activity.
The Marine Science Center on Lighthouse Drive rehabilitates sea turtles and seabirds. The center and surrounding Disappearing Island attract visitors by boat. FWC patrols the inlet and surrounding waters for BUI, fishing violations, and manatee zone enforcement. The inlet is one of the busiest recreational boating channels on Florida's east coast.
Ponce Inlet is one of the most affluent communities in Volusia County, with waterfront homes on the Halifax River and Intracoastal Waterway. Property crime, marine theft, and domestic disturbances are the primary enforcement categories. PIPD maintains a small force focused on quality-of-life enforcement.
The Volusia County Clerk at (386) 736-5915 handles case lookups. The 7th Circuit courthouse is in DeLand. Ponce Inlet's isolated location at the tip of the peninsula means transport to the Red John Road jail takes longer than from other south Volusia communities.
Surety bonds (10% non-refundable premium) and cash bonds are accepted. Bonding agents must be registered with the Volusia County Clerk of Court. Call (941) 477-6888 to reach a registered Volusia 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.
