North Broward County Detention Center basic information to help guide you through what you can do for your inmate while they are incarcerated. The facility's direct contact number: 954-831-5900
This facility is for adult inmates.
The North Broward County Detention Center is a medium-security detention center located at 1550 NW 30th Ave Pompano Beach, FL which is operated locally by the Broward County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Broward County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Pompano Beach Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.
Housing Assignments – Individuals who are not released on bond are assigned to one of four BSO jails based upon objective criteria. This criteria ensures that inmates are housed in the least restrictive and safest unit possible based upon level of security required. Housing assignments are not made based on proximity to an inmate's home, but rather on the premise of assigning an inmate to the jail facility that can best meet his or her needs.
