Overview

To find someone at the Palm Beach County jail on Gun Club Road, use the PBSO Booking Blotter at www3.pbso.org/blotter. It is the Inmate Search linked from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office Arrest & Jail page. It lists everyone currently in custody in a PBSO jail, plus anyone booked in the last 12 months. You can search by last name, first name, booking dates, city, charge or arresting agency. People held here are not in the Florida Department of Corrections search, because this is a county jail.

Type the person’s last name. Add a first name if the last name is common.
Leave the dates blank to see everyone in custody now, or add a booking date range to look back up to 12 months.
Narrow it down with city, charge (statute) or arresting agency if you get too many results.

Main Detention Center or West Detention Center

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office runs two jails. The Main Detention Center, often called the Gun Club jail, is at 3228 Gun Club Road in West Palm Beach. The West Detention Center is at 38811 James Wheeler Way in Belle Glade. The Booking Blotter covers people in custody in PBSO facilities, so one search checks both.

Why the FDOC Offender Search Won’t Show Them

The Florida Department of Corrections search only lists people sentenced to state prison. The Gun Club jail is a county jail run by PBSO. People held here are usually waiting for court, serving a short county sentence, or waiting on a transfer. Use the PBSO Booking Blotter for them, not FDOC.

If Someone Doesn’t Show Up

Booked more than 12 months ago and released: The blotter covers current custody plus the last 12 months of bookings.

Sent to state prison: Once a person is sentenced and moved into FDOC custody, search the FDOC Offender Search at dc.state.fl.us/OffenderSearch/Search.aspx instead.

In federal custody: Search the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator at bop.gov/inmateloc.

Name spelling: Try the full legal name from court papers, then other spellings or a first name only.
