In Arizona, there are at least 138,800 arrests each year, of which the Coconino County Sheriff reports about 500. As stipulated by the Arizona Public Records Law, residents of Coconino County may access or request copies of public records, including arrest records. The fees for obtaining these records may range from $0.10 to $27.
Access to certain records may be restricted if deemed confidential under statutory provisions. For example, arrest records involving juveniles or cases where disclosure may pose a risk to a confidential informant or public safety are exempt from public access.
However, law enforcement agencies, the subject of the record, and the County Attorney's Office may access such exempted records.
Interested parties may access arrest records held by the county Sheriff, local police departments, courthouses, and the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
Arrest record requests for the Coconino County Sheriff's Office may be made through the Flagstaff Police Department Records Section by filling out the public request form. Alternatively, individuals may submit a written request that includes the arrestee's name, the date, time, and location of the arrest to:
Flagstaff Police Department ATTN: Records 911 E Sawmill Road Flagstaff, AZ 86001
Individuals seeking police arrest records may submit a request to the department that made the arrest. Coconino Police Departments accept requests for arrest records through various methods, including online submissions, mail, and in-person visits.
The Page and Flagstaff Police Departments allow requests to be made using an online form, while the Williams and Sedona Police Departments provide printable forms that may be submitted by mail or in person.
The Criminal History Records Section of the Arizona Department of Public Safety (AZDPS) serves as the state's central repository for criminal records.
An individual may request their criminal record for the purpose of reviewing its accuracy or completeness. To initiate the process, the individual must call the DPS at (602) 223-2222 to request a records review packet, which includes a pre-addressed return envelope, a contact information sheet, a blank fingerprint card, and the records review instructions. Once the packet is received, the individual may visit any law enforcement agency to have their fingerprints taken. The completed fingerprint card, contact information sheet, and a notarized letter (if represented by an attorney) must be submitted to:
Arizona Department of Public Safety Criminal History Records Unit PO Box 18450 Phoenix, AZ 85005-8450
For Coconino residents seeking employment in positions that involve working with children or elderly individuals, a fingerprint clearance card may be required. To request this card, individuals must first create a secure account on the Public Service Portal (PSP). Upon completing the requirements on the PSP, they will be issued a reference number for use during the fingerprinting process. Finally, individuals may submit their fingerprints either manually or electronically to the DPS for processing.
The Coconino Justice and Superior Courts, as well as the Flagstaff Municipal Court, handle criminal cases within the county. Arrest information may be found within the court documents filed for these cases. Interested parties may visit the relevant court where the case was heard to obtain copies of records.
Alternatively, case information may be accessed online through the Arizona Judicial Branch Case Search portal.
Another option for obtaining arrest records is through third-party websites, such as InfoTracer, which provide up-to-date and reliable records.
