How to Search Glendale Arrest Records

Staff will pull the report and let you know the cost. Once you pay, they provide the copies. Arizona public records law under A.R.S. 39-121 gives you the right to inspect these records during office hours.

Glendale Jail Services and Visitation

Since Glendale inmates go to Maricopa County jail, you use county systems for visits and money deposits. The county contracts with ViaPath for video visitation through the GettingOut platform. This is how family and friends connect with inmates held in any Maricopa County facility.

Arizona Law on Glendale Booking Records

Booking records and arrest reports in Glendale are public under Arizona state law. A.R.S. 39-121 requires that public records be open for inspection during office hours. You do not need to give a reason for wanting to see them. This right is broad and applies to most government records in Arizona.

Under A.R.S. 41-1750, the Maricopa County Sheriff must report booking information to the Arizona Department of Public Safety Central State Repository. This creates a statewide criminal history that goes beyond the local booking data. For a full criminal history record rather than just recent Glendale bookings, you would contact DPS at (602) 223-2222.

Crime victims have special rights under Arizona law. Per A.R.S. 39-127, victims of serious crimes can get one free copy of police reports and related records. This includes booking documents tied to their case. You need to show you are the victim to claim this benefit.
