Arrested in Sewall's Point? All Martin County bookings process through the Martin County Jail. We connect you with licensed local bondsmen.
Sewall's Point has its own police department (SPPD) serving this ultra-exclusive peninsula town in Martin County. All arrests transport to the Martin County Jail in Stuart, less than 10 minutes away. SPPD operates from 1 S Sewall's Point Road.
Sewall's Point is geographically isolated, bordered by the St. Lucie River to the west and the Indian River Lagoon to the east. The only access points are the Ernest Lyons Bridge and the Evans Crary Bridge. This isolation makes it incredibly difficult for transient criminals to enter or escape undetected.
The town consists entirely of high-net-worth waterfront estates. Violent crime is virtually non-existent. SPPD functions essentially as a concierge-level private security force. Officers focus intensely on monitoring landscaping contractors, performing rapid welfare checks, and actively patrolling the wealthy residential streets to deter property crime.
State Road A1A is the only road running through the town, connecting Stuart to Hutchinson Island. SPPD relies on strict speed enforcement and automated license plate readers along A1A to monitor every vehicle entering the town. Traffic enforcement is the primary source of all local citations.
The Martin County Clerk at (772) 288-5576 handles case lookups. The 19th Circuit courthouse is in downtown Stuart. Arrests of town residents are incredibly rare; the vast majority of law enforcement activity involves traffic stops on A1A or marine enforcement.
Because Sewall's Point is a low-lying peninsula surrounded by water, it is highly vulnerable to hurricanes. SPPD plays a critical role in enforcing mandatory evacuations and providing immediate post-storm security to prevent looting. The town's incredibly strict building codes and zoning laws naturally deter crime by eliminating transient commercial traffic.
Surety bonds (10% non-refundable premium) and cash bonds are accepted. Bonding agents must be registered with the Martin County Clerk of Court. Call (941) 477-6888 to reach a registered Martin County bondsman who can post at the facility.
