Flagstaff Recent Bookings

Flagstaff recent bookings are handled by the Coconino County Sheriff's Office. When Flagstaff Police make an arrest, the person goes to the county jail for processing. The county does not post inmate information online. You need to call the jail at (928) 226-5200 to check if someone is in custody. Staff can tell you about current inmates, charges, and bond amounts any time of day. Flagstaff is the largest city in Coconino County and serves as the county seat. The shared records program makes it simple to find booking data since city and county records flow to the same place.

Flagstaff Arrest and Booking Process

Flagstaff Police officers patrol the city and make arrests. But they do not run the jail. All people arrested in Flagstaff go to the Coconino County detention facility for booking. The county jail sits at 951 E. Sawmill Road, just east of downtown Flagstaff. This is where the booking record gets created no matter which agency made the arrest.

The booking process takes a few hours. When someone arrives at the jail, staff take their photo and fingerprints. They record personal details like name, birth date, and address. The charges get entered into the system. Then they set a bond amount based on the charges and a schedule. After all this, the person either posts bond or stays in custody until their court date. The booking record becomes public at this point.

Coconino County does not have an online inmate search. This makes Flagstaff different from cities in many other Arizona counties. If you want to know if someone got booked, you must call the jail. The number is (928) 226-5200. Lines are open around the clock. Staff can check the system and give you basic info about anyone in custody. Have the person's full name ready when you call.

Flagstaff Police Records Division

The Flagstaff Records Division runs a unique program. It serves as the central spot for city police, county sheriff, and detention facility reports. This consolidated system means you can get most Flagstaff area booking records from one place. The office is at 911 E Sawmill Road in Flagstaff.

The Records Division page shows the services they offer and current fees.

You can request records by phone, mail, or in person. Call (928) 214-2530 to reach the records staff. They handle arrest reports, booking records, incident reports, and other documents. Processing time depends on what you need and how busy they are. Simple requests often get done in a few days. Complex ones take longer.

Note: The records office hours are standard business hours on weekdays, not 24/7 like the jail info line.

Flagstaff Booking Record Fees

Getting copies of Flagstaff booking records costs money. The fee structure is straightforward. Reports cost $8 for the first 20 pages. Each page after that adds 10 cents. Most booking reports fit within 20 pages, so $8 covers most requests. Longer reports with lots of evidence or multiple charges might go over.

Other services have their own fees:

• Fingerprints: $6 (by appointment only)
• Body worn camera videos: $46 per hour reviewed
• Digital storage fee for videos: $30
• Additional pages over 20: $0.10 each

Payment methods depend on how you make the request. In person visits usually take cash or money order. Mail requests need a money order or cashier's check. Ask the records staff what they accept when you call. Crime victims in Arizona get one free copy of reports related to their case under A.R.S. 39-127. You need to show you are the victim to claim this.

Coconino County Jail and Flagstaff Bookings

The Coconino County jail handles all Flagstaff bookings. This county has two detention facilities. The main one is in Flagstaff on Sawmill Road. A smaller one operates in Page near the Utah border. Most Flagstaff arrests end up at the Flagstaff facility since it is closest.

Why does Coconino not post inmates online? The sheriff's office has not given a public reason. It may tie to the 2024 court ruling in Houston v. Maricopa County. That case said posting mugshots and personal data online can violate due process rights. Several Arizona counties changed their practices after this ruling. Others kept their online searches running. Coconino might be playing it safe.

The phone system works well for checking Flagstaff bookings. Call (928) 226-5200 any time. Staff can tell you if a person is in custody right now. They give you charge information and bond amounts too. The call takes just a few minutes. It is free and works when websites do not.

Visiting Flagstaff Inmates

Coconino County uses video visitation through GettingOut. This lets family and friends see inmates on a video screen. You can visit from a kiosk at the jail or from home on your own device. The system works like a video call. You pick a time slot and connect when it starts.

Each inmate gets 60 minutes of free video visits per week. That is more than many Arizona jails give. If you want more time, it costs extra. To set things up, go to the GettingOut website. Make an account and search for your inmate. Then book a time that works for both of you.

Here is a useful tip. The GettingOut system shows you if someone is in custody. When you search for a person, it tells you if they are there. This gives you another way to check Flagstaff recent bookings besides calling the jail.

Arizona Law on Booking Records

Booking records are public in Arizona. A.R.S. 39-121 says public records must be open for anyone to see during office hours. You do not need a reason. You do not need to be the person in the record. This right covers most government records, and booking data falls under this rule.

The state also has rules about what agencies must report. Under A.R.S. 41-1750, all Arizona law enforcement must send arrest data to a central state repository. The Arizona Department of Public Safety runs this database. It tracks criminal history for everyone who contacts the justice system in Arizona.

There are some privacy limits. Victim information gets protected under A.R.S. 13-4434. Juvenile records have strict rules. Financial account numbers get removed before release. But the core booking facts for adults, like name, charges, and custody status, stay public in Flagstaff and all of Coconino County.

Arizona Statewide Booking Resources

If someone from Flagstaff goes to state prison, search the Arizona Department of Corrections database. This shows people serving time in state prisons, not county jails. The search is free. It works on any device with internet access.

Crime victims can use the Arizona VINE system to get alerts. When an inmate's status changes, you get a call, email, or text. This works for both county jails and state prisons. It is free to use. You make an account and sign up for alerts about specific people.

For statewide criminal history, the Arizona Department of Public Safety runs the Central State Repository. Private citizens cannot get background checks this way. But you can ask for your own record. Send a Record Review Packet to DPS at 2222 W. Encanto Blvd in Phoenix. Call (602) 223-2222 for more information.
