Gilbert Recent Bookings

Recent bookings for Gilbert arrests are processed through the Maricopa County jail system. The Gilbert Police Department makes arrests in the town, but all booking records go into the county sheriff database. You can search for Gilbert recent bookings using the Maricopa County Sheriff inmate lookup at no cost. This system shows who is in custody, what charges they face, and bond amounts set by the court. Gilbert is one of the largest towns in Arizona and sits in the east valley of the Phoenix metro area. The police department handles its own arrest records and incident reports, while the county jail tracks custody and booking data.

Where Gilbert Arrest Bookings Go

Gilbert Police officers transport arrestees to Maricopa County jail facilities for booking. This is how all Maricopa County cities work. The town does not run its own jail. When someone gets arrested in Gilbert, they end up in the county system within a few hours of the arrest.

The Maricopa County Sheriff inmate search is where you look up Gilbert recent bookings. Type in the person's name and the search will show if they are in custody. You will see their booking date, the charges against them, and bond info if the court has set one. This search is free and works from any computer or phone.

MCSO runs five jail facilities in the Phoenix area. New arrestees from Gilbert typically go to the Intake, Transfer and Release center first. Staff there handles booking, fingerprints, and photos. After processing, inmates move to one of the other facilities based on their charges and security needs. Call the county jail at (602) 876-0322 any time to check on someone's custody status.

Note: Use Maricopa County resources for current custody and booking data, not Gilbert Police directly.

Gilbert Police Arrest Records

While the county handles jail bookings, the Gilbert Police Department keeps its own arrest records and incident reports. These are the documents that show what led to an arrest, who was involved, and what evidence officers collected. If you need the story behind a Gilbert booking, you will want police records from the town rather than just county jail data.

The Gilbert Police records request page explains how to get copies of arrest reports and other documents. Gilbert uses an online portal through JustFOIA to handle most requests. You can submit your request through the Gilbert Police JustFOIA portal and track its progress online. This makes things easier than paper forms for most people.

The records unit sits at 75 E Civic Center Drive in Gilbert. Hours run Monday through Thursday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The office is closed Friday through Sunday. If you cannot use the online system, you can call (480) 635-7020 or email gilbertpdrecords@gilbertaz.gov to get help with your request.

Gilbert Police Records Fees

• 911 Audio Recordings: $10.00
• Photos and Evidence: $10.00

Ask for an estimate before committing to large video requests.

Gilbert Accident Reports and DUI Arrests

Many Gilbert bookings start with traffic stops or crashes. If you need the accident report that led to a DUI booking or other traffic arrest, Gilbert uses BuyCrash for online purchases. This third party site sells crash reports from Gilbert Police and many other Arizona agencies.

Go to BuyCrash.com and search by the date and location of the crash. You can also search by the names of people involved. Reports cost around $5 and download right away as PDF files. This is faster than requesting the report from the police department, which can take several business days to process.

Traffic accident reports contain details about what happened, who was at fault, and whether officers cited anyone at the scene. When combined with booking records from Maricopa County, you get a fuller picture of arrests that started on Gilbert roads. The accident report shows the cause while the booking record shows what charges the person faces in court.

How to Find Gilbert Booking Records

Finding someone arrested in Gilbert takes two steps. First check if they are in custody. Then get the records you need from the right agency.

Start with the Maricopa County jail. Call (602) 876-0322 or use the online inmate search. Give them the person's full name and date of birth if you have it. Staff will tell you if that person is in county custody and which facility holds them. They can also tell you the bond amount and how to post bail if the person is eligible.

For arrest details and case information, contact Gilbert Police. The JustFOIA portal works best for formal requests. You can also call (480) 635-7020 during business hours. Have the person's name and the approximate date of arrest ready. Records staff can help you figure out which documents you need and what they will cost.

If you want ongoing updates about when someone gets released, sign up for the Arizona VINE notification system. This free service sends alerts by phone, email, or text when an inmate's custody status changes. Crime victims especially should use this to stay informed without constantly checking booking records.

Gilbert and Maricopa County Records

The split between city and county records confuses some people. Here is how it works in Gilbert. Town police make arrests and write reports. County sheriff runs the jail and creates booking records. Both sets of records are public, but you get them from different places.

Arizona law at A.R.S. 39-121 makes public records open for anyone to inspect. This covers both Gilbert Police reports and Maricopa County booking data. You do not need to give a reason for wanting to see these records. The agencies must provide access during normal business hours.

For full booking records from Maricopa County, use the MCSO public records request process. Mail requests to 550 W. Jackson Street in Phoenix or drop them off in person. Hours are 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Video recordings cost $25 per hour. Payment must be cash, money order, cashier's check, or business check. No credit cards or personal checks.

Note: Gilbert Police cannot tell you who is currently in jail because that is county data, not town data.
