Arrested in Surfside? All Miami-Dade County bookings process through the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. We connect you with licensed local bondsmen.
Surfside has its own police department (SPD) serving this small, affluent oceanfront town in Miami-Dade County. All arrests transport to TGK Correctional Center, about 30 minutes west on the mainland. SPD operates from 9293 Harding Avenue.
The town is geographically narrow, dominated by two parallel one-way arteries: Harding Avenue (southbound) and Collins Avenue (northbound/A1A). The incredibly dense traffic on these corridors requires constant enforcement and accident management. The town strictly limits commercial zoning to the Harding Avenue strip.
Surfside is highly affluent and features a very large Orthodox Jewish population. SPD officers are highly attuned to the specific cultural needs of the community, particularly providing intense security during religious holidays and ensuring pedestrian safety on the Sabbath when residents walk to the numerous local synagogues.
The town borders the ultra-exclusive village of Bal Harbour immediately to the north and Miami Beach to the south. Coordination between these three municipal departments is constant, particularly regarding suspects fleeing along the A1A corridor. SPD functions proactively to deter transient crime from entering the quiet residential blocks.
The Miami-Dade County Clerk at (305) 275-1155 handles case lookups. The 11th Circuit courthouse is in downtown Miami. The transport off the barrier island via the Broad Causeway or 79th Street Causeway significantly extends the booking process.
The tragic collapse of the Champlain Towers South deeply impacted the community. SPD maintains a highly sensitive, community-focused approach to policing. The town's incredibly strict building codes and new safety mandates require close coordination between the police department and code enforcement to ensure the safety of all ongoing coastal construction.
Surety bonds (10% non-refundable premium) and cash bonds are accepted. Bonding agents must be registered with the Miami-Dade County Clerk of Court. Call (941) 477-6888 to reach a registered Miami-Dade 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.
