Direct answer
For Orange County Florida arrest records, use Orange County Corrections for current jail custody, the Orange County Sheriff Records process for OCSO-maintained law-enforcement documents, and a separate court record for filed charges and final disposition.
Orange County custody and Sheriff arrest records come from different county offices
Orange County Corrections provides the official inmate search for people in county custody. That source answers a jail-status question and should be time-stamped because release or transfer can change the result. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office separately maintains law-enforcement records and report-request services for records in its custody.
Those sources can describe the same arrest from different angles. Corrections tells you about detention; OCSO Records can provide the Sheriff-side agency document when OCSO created or maintains it. A municipal police report may belong to that city department instead. The later criminal court case is another layer and should be used only when the research question becomes filed charges, hearings or disposition.
