Questions about official Polk County criminal records belong with the public office that created or maintains the document. The contacts below distinguish court files in Bartow, sheriff and booking records in Winter Haven, police reports, and statewide Florida criminal histories.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference site cannot retrieve an official record, conduct an official check, correct or remove an entry, or receive an expunction or sealing filing.

Need an Official Record?

Use these official Polk County and Florida routes:

  • Court case files: use Polk criminal court cases or contact the Polk County Clerk at 255 N. Broadway Ave., Bartow, FL 33830, 863-534-4000
  • State criminal histories: contact FDLE Criminal History Records and use its official CCHInet or personal-review process
  • Sheriff reports: contact PCSO Records Management Bureau at 1891 Jim Keene Blvd., Winter Haven, FL 33880, 863-298-6300
  • Booking records: contact the Sheriff's Processing Center at 7101 De Castro Rd., Winter Haven, 863-292-3400; its public information window operates around the clock
  • Police reports and incident records: contact the agency that wrote the report
  • Expunction and sealing: begin with FDLE eligibility requirements, then file through the court that handled the case

PCSO requests may also be sent to recordsrequest@polksheriff.org. The Clerk, not PCSO, supplies certified dispositions and filed court documents. Confirm current counter hours before making a trip.
