Arizona Booking Records Law

Tucson 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 Tucson Police and Pima County.

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.
