How booking works in Maricopa County

A person arrested in Phoenix or elsewhere in Maricopa County is booked into a jail run by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. The Sheriff's Office publishes recent booking photos on its Find a Mugshot page and current custody information on its Find an Inmate page. Once a person is released, use the court case search to follow the case.

An arrest is not a conviction. Charges may have been dropped, dismissed or resulted in acquittal.

What Arizona law says about booking photos

Find a Mugshot covers recent bookings and Find an Inmate covers people in custody now, so an older Maricopa County arrest is traced through the Criminal Court Case Information search of the Superior Court. All three stop at the county line: an arrest in Pinal, Yavapai or Gila County is booked there, not in Phoenix. If you do not know the county, search the name with the state set to Arizona. The full report shows the records it finds, each with its source and date.
