Naples, Florida · City Police reports, Collier County arrests, warrants, jail & criminal court
Find a Naples Arrest and Verify the Court Outcome
A Naples arrest can involve three separate government records: the Naples Police report, the Collier County Sheriff’s booking or warrant record, and the Collier County criminal court file. Each answers a different question.
Start with the Sheriff for today’s arrests, current jail and historical booking searches. If Naples Police made the arrest, use Police Records Services for the arrest narrative. Then follow the defendant into County Court for a misdemeanor or Circuit Court for a felony and locate the actual disposition.

CCSO ARREST SEARCH
Was the person arrested?
Use today’s arrests or search historical Collier bookings by name or booking date.
Best first step after a recent custodial arrest.
NAPLES POLICE
What did the officer report?
Request the adult arrest report or available incident/offense record from Naples Police Records Services.
The police narrative is not the same as a booking record.
COUNTY COURT
Misdemeanor case?
Collier County Court handles misdemeanor criminal matters and criminal traffic cases.
Follow arraignment through final disposition.
CIRCUIT COURT
Felony case?
Felony prosecutions are handled in Circuit Court within Florida’s 20th Judicial Circuit.
Judgment and sentence establish the legal result.
FDLE
Statewide Florida history?
FDLE offers a $24 public search and a no-fee Personal Review for your own Florida record.
Use local court records to decode Naples outcomes.
Most reliable sequence: arrest search → identify arresting agency → obtain police/Sheriff report → search each criminal case → read the disposition → obtain a certified copy if formal proof is required.
Official arrest search
Search today’s Naples and Collier County arrests
Collier County Sheriff’s Office provides separate actions for Today’s Arrests and a broader Search for an Arrest or Warrant.
Use Today’s Arrests for the newest booking list
This is the fastest route when the arrest happened today.
Search by booking date when the date is known
The Sheriff’s system specifically supports locating arrests from a particular booking date.
Search by name when the date is unknown
Check spelling, middle-name variations and suffixes.
Record the arrest and booking identifiers
Save the name exactly as booked plus arrest date, agency, charges and any available arrest number.
Identify who made the arrest
A person booked into Collier County Jail may have been arrested by Naples Police, CCSO, Marco Island Police, Florida Highway Patrol or another agency.
Check the court record next
The Sheriff explicitly directs users to the Collier Clerk for the final disposition.
CCSO fraud warning: the Sheriff says it never solicits bond or fine payments and that bond cannot be paid by telephone.
Older Naples arrests
How to find an arrest after it disappears from today’s list
Search by historical booking date
The official arrest system supports prior-date searches after accepting its terms.
Search by name
This helps when you know the person but not the arrest date.
Use the court database
A court case can remain searchable after the jail custody episode ends.
Request the original law-enforcement report
Naples Police and CCSO maintain different records.
Check CCSO2go for recent history
The Sheriff says its official app’s enhanced arrest log can display Collier County arrest history for the past 10 years.
Use FDLE for statewide Florida history
A Naples-only search is not a complete Florida criminal-history check.
A missing historical arrest does not necessarily mean the arrest was erased. It may be outside the useful range of a live jail report, filed under another spelling, associated with another agency, sealed/expunged, or simply easier to locate through the court or source-agency record.

Find the Police case number first
Naples Police encourages requesters to provide a case number whenever possible.
If no number is known, provide location
Give the exact address/intersection or closest known location.
Add date and approximate time
These details substantially narrow the records search.
Add names of involved parties
Use legal names and DOB when appropriate.
Specify the document
Ask for the adult arrest report, closed offense/incident report or another identified record rather than requesting “all records.”
Ask for an estimate before a large project
Special research projects can generate labor charges.
Copy-ready Naples Police request
I request an electronic copy of the releasable adult arrest report and closed offense/incident report concerning [full legal name], for the incident on [date] at approximately [time] at [location]. Naples Police case number is [number] if known. Please notify me before processing if special research or reproduction charges will exceed $[amount], and identify the legal basis for any withheld or redacted information.
Florida public-records requests generally do not require you to explain why you want a record. The City of Naples also states that a request is not required to be in writing and the requester is not required to provide a name or purpose.
CCSO Central Records

Hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., excluding recognized county holidays
Incident / other public record
Submit through the Sheriff’s online record-request process or by mail.
CCSO says incident reports normally need approximately 3–5 business days to reach Central Records.
Local Criminal Background (Arrest) Check
Current fee: $10.
Subject must be at least 18. Name and DOB are required. Current processing estimate is 3–5 business days.
Verify the report belongs to CCSO
If Naples Police made the arrest, use Naples Police Records instead.
Provide the incident/arrest identifiers
Include name, DOB, date, location and report/arrest number if known.
For the $10 local check, provide name and DOB
This is a Collier local arrest/background product—not a statewide FDLE search.
If requesting by mail, do not mail cash
The Sheriff’s instructions call for check or money order for the local background service plus a self-addressed stamped envelope.
From Naples arrest to court
What happens after someone is booked in Collier County?
Arrest
Naples Police, CCSO or another agency creates the law-enforcement record.
Collier County booking
The person is processed into the county jail system.
First appearance
The Collier Clerk explains that an arrested defendant generally appears before a judge within approximately 24 hours.
Bond decision
At first appearance, the judge advises the defendant of accusations and addresses whether bail will be available.
County Court path
Misdemeanors are handled in County Court.
Circuit Court path
Felony prosecutions are handled in Circuit Court.
Arraignment
Formal charges are addressed and the defendant enters the appropriate plea.
Pretrial / plea / trial
Prosecutors may amend charges, dismiss counts or resolve the case by plea or trial.
Judgment and sentence
This is where the legal outcome becomes clear.
Free public case access
Search Collier County criminal court records online
Public access to Collier’s Online Court Case Search does not require registration and there is no fee to view online court cases.

Open every related criminal case
One arrest can create more than one case or charge.
Review case status and court dates
The public system can display court dates, case status and fees owed.
Open available non-certified documents
Many non-confidential records are viewable without registration.
Read the docket chronologically
Look for filing, arraignment, bond, warrant, plea, dismissal, trial, judgment and sentencing events.
Verify every count separately
Different charges within the same arrest can have different outcomes.
County Court
Handles misdemeanor criminal offenses and criminal traffic matters.
First-degree misdemeanors can carry up to one year in jail; second-degree misdemeanors can carry up to 60 days.
Circuit Court
Handles felony criminal prosecutions.
The Clerk describes felony offenses as crimes carrying the possibility of more than one year of incarceration.
Official disposition
Get the judgment, sentence or certified court record

I request a certified copy of the final disposition, judgment and sentence for State of Florida v. [defendant], Collier County case number [number]. Please confirm the number of pages, the $1-per-page copy charge, applicable certification charge and available electronic, pickup or mail delivery options.
Warrant verification
Search a Naples or Collier County warrant safely
Use exact name information
Avoid assuming that a common name belongs to the person you are researching.
Search the court case too
A docket can show issuance, failure to appear, service, recall or later action.
Call the Fugitive Warrants Bureau
Verify whether the warrant remains current before relying on an older web entry.
For statewide wanted-person searching, use the Florida Crime Information Center route linked by CCSO
The Sheriff’s Warrants page provides access to the state wanted-person search.
Open CCSO Fugitive Warrants Bureau
If a defendant misses a required Collier criminal court date, the Clerk warns that the court may issue a bench warrant and order bond forfeiture. Only the court can set aside its bench warrant.
Bond-payment scam warning: CCSO states that it never solicits bond or fine payments and bond cannot be paid by phone. Independently call the jail or Warrants Bureau before sending money.
Bond and release
Confirm the bond directly with the Naples Jail Center
Naples Jail Center
3347 Tamiami Trail East
Naples, FL 34112-4434
Court date / release / bond information:
239-252-9504
CCSO currently identifies three ways to post an authorized jail bond: cash for the full amount, cashier’s check for the full amount, or a surety bond through a bonding company.
Search the arrest and court case
Find every charge and case connected to the defendant.
Call the jail
Confirm the current bond after any first-appearance or later court changes.
Ask whether any charge is no-bond
Do not assume all charges can be cleared with money.
Ask about holds or detainers
Another jurisdiction or supervision matter can prevent release.
Confirm payment type
Use only the method the jail says is authorized for the case.
If using a surety company, get its terms in writing
Premium and collateral rules differ from a refundable court cash bond.
Keep the receipt
Save the defendant, arrest number, case number, payment and transaction documentation.
Pretrial Supervision: CCSO explains that qualifying defendants may be released when ordered by the judiciary as a condition of bond—or without paying monetary bail—and must follow all court-ordered conditions imposed at first appearance.
Bond-verification script
I am calling about [full legal name], arrest/booking number [number] and case number [number]. Please confirm every current charge and hold, the bond amount and type for each case, whether any charge is no-bond, which payment methods are currently accepted and whether anything else would prevent release after the bond is posted.

Florida state corrections
Switch to Florida DOC after a state-prison transfer
Use Florida DOC for
- State prison custody.
- Florida DC number.
- State correctional institution.
- State supervision information.
Do not use DOC instead of
- A new Collier jail arrest search.
- Naples Police arrest report.
- Collier criminal court case.
- FDLE statewide criminal-history search.
Check Collier custody first
A pretrial defendant is usually researched through the local jail rather than state prison records.
Open Florida Department of Corrections
Use the official site and choose Offender Search.

Statewide criminal history
Choose between FDLE’s $24 search and free Personal Review
Public Florida search
Current statutory fee: $24 per search.
Personal Review
No FDLE fee for reviewing your own Florida criminal history for accuracy and completeness.
Certified result
Use FDLE’s certified/non-certified criminal-history option rather than Personal Review when formal certification is required.
$24 public Florida criminal-history search
Select Instant Search or the required certified/non-certified product
Pick the service that matches your purpose.
Enter identifying information carefully
Name-based searches can return similar people.
Pay the $24 fee
FDLE’s online public searches require the applicable debit/credit-card payment.
Verify Naples entries with Collier court records
The local court file explains the disposition behind a state-history entry.
No-fee FDLE Personal Review
Use this only for your own record
Personal Review cannot be used to investigate another person’s criminal history.
Have fingerprints taken
FDLE requires a fingerprint copy taken by a law-enforcement or criminal-justice agency.
Mail the completed request and fingerprint card
FDLE itself does not charge for Personal Review, though a fingerprinting agency may charge a separate rolling fee.
Check for missing dispositions or mistaken identity
Compare any Naples arrest with the actual Collier Clerk case.
Naples Police currently provides public fingerprint appointments at 355 Riverside Circle. Its published processing fee is $15 for City residents and $20 for non-City residents, with photo ID required.
Wrong or incomplete record
Correct the agency record before relying on a data-broker correction
Get your FDLE Personal Review
Identify the exact Florida arrest entry that appears wrong or incomplete.
Compare the Collier court case
Determine whether the statewide history is missing a dismissal, acquittal, amended charge or final sentence.
Identify who originated the incorrect data
Naples Police, CCSO, the Clerk or another arresting agency may own the source record.
Obtain certified proof
A certified judgment, dismissal or amended court order is stronger than a screenshot.
Ask the originating office to correct its record
Include the government identifiers and supporting documents.
Use FDLE’s challenge process if statewide information remains wrong
Personal Review gives you the right to challenge inaccurate or incomplete Florida criminal-history information.
Copy-ready correction request
I request correction of the record associated with [full name / DOB], Naples Police or CCSO report/arrest number [number], and Collier court case [number]. The record currently states [incorrect information]. The attached certified [dismissal / judgment / amended order / corrected agency record] establishes [correct information]. Please correct the originating record and advise whether the updated information will be transmitted to FDLE and other government repositories that received the original entry.
Arrest photo / mugshot
A dismissed Naples case does not automatically remove the CCSO arrest photo
Collier County Sheriff’s Office expressly states that arrest photographs and arrest information are public records and can be removed from its website only because of an applicable Florida Statutes Chapter 119 exemption, court order or expunction. The case outcome alone does not automatically remove the photo.
Get the final Collier disposition
Determine exactly how the criminal case ended.
Determine whether the record qualifies for legal relief
A dismissal can still leave a public arrest history until the applicable sealing/expungement process is completed.
Keep the certified court order
It may be needed if the Sheriff or another government database does not update correctly.
Florida sealing & expungement
Start with FDLE—not with a private record-removal company
A Certificate of Eligibility from FDLE does not itself seal or expunge a Naples arrest. It only establishes that FDLE found the application statutorily eligible to proceed to the court-petition stage.
Court-ordered sealing
The public generally loses access to the sealed Florida criminal-history record, while specified government/licensing entities retain access allowed by law.
Court-ordered expungement
Access becomes more restricted; most entities that could access a sealed record generally receive notice that the record was expunged rather than the underlying record without an appropriate court order.
Prepare before applying
Exact arrest date
Arresting agency
Original charges
Collier case number
Certified disposition
Probation termination if applicable
Diversion completion proof if applicable
Fingerprint card
FDLE Certificate of Eligibility packet
Complete all arrest identity fields
FDLE requires name, DOB, race, sex, addresses, arresting agency, arrest date and charges.
Get the certified Collier disposition
FDLE requires a certified disposition for each case/charge listed.
For expungement, complete the prosecutor-certified statement
Court-ordered expungement applications require the appropriate State Attorney/Statewide Prosecutor certification page.
Get fingerprinted
The fingerprint form/card must be completed by an authorized law-enforcement or other criminal-justice agency.
Include the $75 non-refundable FDLE fee
Current instructions accept money order, cashier’s check or qualifying personal check payable to FDLE. Do not send cash or gift cards.
Keep a complete copy before mailing
FDLE strongly recommends preserving arrest reports, dispositions and later orders.
Allow approximately 12 weeks or longer
FDLE currently says eligibility processing typically takes about 12 weeks and its FAQ presently reports processing at over 12 weeks. Applications are not expedited.
After the FDLE certificate arrives
Prepare the court petition and affidavit
Follow the current Florida statute, rules and Collier filing requirements.
Attach the Certificate of Eligibility
The certificate is part of the court filing; it is not the final order.
File in the court with jurisdiction over the arrest
For a Naples/Collier case, this will ordinarily be the appropriate Collier court.
Attend any required hearing
Even a statutorily eligible applicant is not guaranteed relief because the final decision belongs to the court.
Obtain certified copies of the signed order
Keep them permanently before access to the underlying case becomes restricted.
Confirm FDLE receives the certified order
FDLE complies with sealing/expungement after receiving the certified court order.
Recheck CCSO arrest/photo search
Use the order if an eligible government arrest record remains publicly displayed after processing.
One-record rule: under Florida’s standard court-ordered sealing/expungement statutes, an applicant generally may receive this relief once. A court can, in its discretion, include more than one arrest in the same proceeding when the arrests are directly related.
Different relief exists for special situations. FDLE separately recognizes administrative expungement for an arrest made contrary to law or by mistake, as well as other statutory processes such as lawful-self-defense, juvenile-diversion and human-trafficking expungements.

Certified disposition
Best choice when another government agency or formal process requires official proof of the outcome.
Naples arrest-record FAQs
Questions people ask while searching Naples FL arrests

Where can I see today’s arrests in Naples?
The Collier County Sheriff’s Arrest and Warrant Search includes an official Today’s Arrests report covering arrests processed through its system.
Does the Sheriff’s arrest page prove that someone was convicted?

How do I get a Naples Police arrest report?
Contact Naples Police Records Services at 355 Riverside Circle, call 239-213-4890 or submit a Police public-record request. Provide the case number, location, date, approximate time and names when possible.
Where do I search Naples criminal court records?

How much is a certified Collier County court disposition?
The Clerk’s current document pricing is $1 per page, with an additional $2 per document for certification.
How do I verify a Naples warrant?
Search the CCSO Arrest and Warrant database, review the related Collier court docket and verify current status with the CCSO Fugitive Warrants Bureau at 239-252-9655.

Use the historical Collier arrest search by name or booking date, search the criminal court record and request the original Naples Police or CCSO report. The official CCSO2go app also advertises Collier arrest history covering the past 10 years.
How much is an FDLE statewide criminal-history search?
FDLE currently charges $24 for public Florida criminal-history searches. FDLE’s Personal Review of your own Florida history carries no FDLE fee.
Can a Naples arrest record be sealed or expunged?
Some records qualify. The standard Florida process begins with an FDLE Certificate of Eligibility application. The current FDLE fee is $75 and processing typically takes about 12 weeks or longer. If FDLE issues the certificate, the applicant must still petition the proper court and obtain an order.
