Gainesville Mugshots Last 24 hours, 3 to & 7 Days
If you are searching for Gainesville mugshots, you probably noticed that the internet is full of “people search” ads and private websites trying to charge you money.
It can be frustrating when you just want to know who was arrested today or in the last 24 hours.
Whether you are looking for a friend, checking neighborhood activity, or verifying a rumor, the best way to get accurate information is through the official Sheriff’s Office databases.
This guide covers everything from finding recently booked inmates to checking records from the last 7 days or even 90 days ago.
IMPORTANT: Which “Gainesville” are you looking for?
-
Gainesville, Florida (Alachua County): This is the most common search.
-
Gainesville, Georgia (Hall County): If you are in Georgia, jump to the bottom of this post for your specific link.
Gainesville Mugshots Today & Last 24 Hours (Florida)
For the most up-to-date Gainesville mugshots today, you need to use the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) current inmate list. They update their system regularly, often faster than third-party sites.
Official Source: Alachua County Sheriff Inmate Search
Step-by-Step Guide:
-
Click the link above to open the official ACSO search tool.
-
Read the disclaimer and accept it to proceed.
-
To see everyone: Leave the name fields blank and just click “Search.” This will usually pull up the entire current jail population.
-
To see only today’s arrests: Look for the “Booking Date” column. Click the column header to sort by date. This will show you the people booked in the last 24 hours at the very top.
Note: If someone was arrested an hour ago, they might not be listed yet. It takes time for fingerprinting and processing before the photo goes online.
Gainesville Mugshots Last 24 Hours Facebook
A lot of people search for “Gainesville mugshots last 24 hours Facebook” hoping to find a social media feed of arrests.
The Reality: The official Alachua County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page does post about major crimes, missing persons, and community alerts, but they rarely post a gallery of every single person arrested for minor offenses.
What you will find on Facebook:
-
Official Page: Alachua County Sheriff’s Office Facebook. Good for major news, but not a complete “mugshot book.”
-
Unofficial Groups: There are private groups like “Gainesville Word of Mouth” or specific “Mugshots” pages runs by private citizens.
-
Be careful: These pages often rely on user submissions or outdated info. For accuracy, always verify with the official jail site listed above.
Gainesville Mugshots Recently Booked: Checking the Last 3, 7, or 90 Days
If you are looking for Gainesville mugshots recently booked but not necessarily today, the official tool is still your best bet. You can easily filter for longer timeframes like the last 3 days or last 7 days.
How to filter by date:
-
Go back to the ACSO Inmate Search.
-
If the search tool has a “Booking Date” range filter, enter the dates you are interested in (e.g., set the “Start Date” to 7 days ago and “End Date” to today).
-
If there is no date range filter, simply run a blank search and click the “Booking Date” header twice to sort from newest to oldest.
-
Scroll down to see records from the last 7 days or even the last 90 days.
Pro Tip: If the person has already been released (bonded out), their mugshot might be removed from the “Current Inmates” list. In that case, you may need to check the Alachua County Clerk of Court website for the arrest affidavit, which is a public record.
For Gainesville, Georgia (Hall County)
If you are actually looking for Gainesville, GA mugshots, the Alachua links won’t help you. You need the Hall County Sheriff’s Office.
