How to Contact an Inmate at Lake County Detention Cemter (FL)
Trying to reach someone at the Lake County Detention Center? Start by confirming their booking through the Lake County Sheriff's Office inmate search. Before you do anything else, know how to spot bond-related scams.
The Lake County Sheriff's Office inmate search only works by name. No booking numbers, no other IDs. So before you try to send money, schedule a visit, or handle anything related to their case, make sure you have their name exactly as it appears in the system.
Scam warning: The Sheriff's Office has reported scammers posing as bondsmen or Sheriff's Office employees to pressure families for money. If anyone contacts you asking for payment, hang up and call the business back at a phone number you find yourself.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Use the Lake County Sheriff’s Office inmate search and enter the inmate’s name (the tool is search-by-name only).
- ✓ If someone contacts you claiming to be a bondsman or Sheriff’s Office employee and asks for money, verify their identity by calling back using a published phone number before you pay anything.
Since the search only works by name, double-check your spelling. Use the full legal name the jail likely has on file. If you were hoping to search by booking number or another ID, check the Sheriff's Office site directly for any updated options.
- Find an official, published phone number: Use the Sheriff’s Office official website to locate a published number for the business or office involved.
- Call back to confirm the person is real: If someone claims they are a bail bonds representative or connected to the Sheriff’s Office, call the published number yourself to verify their identity before making any financial arrangements.
- Confirm approved ways to pay and communicate: Ask for the correct, approved process before sending money anywhere, especially if the request is urgent or unusual.
