Glendale Arrests and County Booking

Glendale Police transport arrestees to Maricopa County jails. The county sheriff runs the regional jail system serving all Phoenix metro cities. Glendale does not operate its own jail. All arrests result in transport to county facilities where the booking process happens.

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

For detailed arrest reports describing what happened, request through Glendale Police. The county provides custody and bond information. Glendale provides the incident report. More on Maricopa County jail is on the Maricopa County page.

Arizona Booking Records Law

Glendale 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 from both city and county sources.

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 rules protect privacy while allowing public access to most booking records.
