Chandler Booking Records Access

Chandler is a major city in the southeast Phoenix metro area. Chandler Police handle arrests, with booking at Maricopa County jails. The records unit operates 24 hours. This page covers how to access Chandler arrest and booking records from both city police and county sources.

Chandler Police Records Request

Request Chandler Police records through chandlerazpd.gov. The records unit operates 24 hours a day, which helps when you need info outside normal business hours. Call 480-782-4001 any time. Staff can answer questions and take requests around the clock.

The office is at 250 E. Chicago St., Chandler, AZ 85225. Email Records.Request@chandleraz.gov for questions. Processing time for police reports runs about 10 business days. Digital media requests take 4 to 5 months due to review requirements. The long wait for video reflects the time needed to review and redact footage before release.

Include as much detail as possible when requesting records. The date of incident, names involved, and case numbers help staff locate files faster. Vague requests take longer because staff must search more broadly through records to find what you need.

Chandler Police Records Fees

Report copies cost $5 for the first 50 pages, then 15 cents per page after that. Audio and 911 recordings are $10. CAD (computer-aided dispatch) records cost $5. These show the computer log of calls and officer responses. Photos are $5. Body camera video runs $25.

Chandler uses Invoice Cloud for payments. This is a third-party payment processor. Crash reports are available through crashdocs.org and BuyCrash.com. These systems handle accident reports separately from general police records. Traffic reports may be available faster through these services than through standard records requests.

Chandler Arrests and County Booking

Chandler Police transport arrestees to Maricopa County jails. The county sheriff runs the regional booking system serving all Phoenix metro cities. Chandler does not operate its own jail. All arrests result in county booking. The process starts when Chandler officers make an arrest and ends at a county facility.

Search for Chandler arrestees through the Maricopa County inmate search. Enter the person's name and date of birth to search. The county search shows current inmates, charges, and bond amounts. Use it for quick booking lookups. Results show which facility holds the person. Recent arrests may take several hours to appear after the booking process completes.

Detailed arrest reports come from Chandler Police, not the county. The county provides custody and bond information. Chandler provides the incident report describing what happened and why the arrest occurred. See the Maricopa County page for more jail info about facilities and visiting.

Arizona Booking Records Law

Chandler booking records fall under Arizona's public records statutes. ARS 39-121 establishes the right to inspect public records during office hours. This applies to police reports, arrest logs, and booking documents. Both Chandler Police and Maricopa County must provide access upon request.

The statute at ARS 41-1750 addresses criminal history records. It exempts police blotters and daily arrest logs from stricter restrictions. This means booking information can be released shortly after an arrest occurs. The law allows contemporaneous disclosure of arrest data to the public.

Some information must be withheld. Victim names and contact details get redacted under ARS 13-4434. Juvenile records stay confidential. Active investigation files may be held until cases close. These exemptions protect privacy while allowing public access to most booking records.

VINE Custody Notification

The Arizona VINE system provides custody notifications statewide. VINE tracks inmates in Maricopa County jails where Chandler arrests go for booking. Crime victims can register to receive automatic alerts when custody status changes including releases and transfers.

Register at vinelink.com or call 1-800-247-9763. Choose to receive alerts by phone, email, text, or through the VINE mobile app. The service operates 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Registration is free and confidential. VINE helps victims stay informed without manually checking jail records.

Note: Chandler's 24-hour records line (480-782-4001) combined with VINE provides around-the-clock access to booking information.
