Coconino County Recent Bookings

Coconino County recent bookings are kept by the sheriff's office at two detention facilities in Flagstaff and Page. Unlike many Arizona counties, Coconino does not post inmate information on their website. You must call the jail directly to check if someone is in custody. The phone number is (928) 226-5200. Staff can tell you about current inmates, charges, and bond amounts. This county covers a huge area of northern Arizona including Flagstaff, Sedona, Page, and parts of the Grand Canyon region. The detention system handles bookings for all law enforcement agencies in the county.

Coconino County Booking Records Access

Coconino County does not have an online inmate search tool. The Sheriff's Office FAQ page makes this clear. It states that inmates are not listed on their website. This is different from most Arizona counties that let you search jail rosters online. If you need to find out if someone was booked into the Coconino County jail, you have to call or visit in person.

The jail information line runs around the clock. Dial (928) 226-5200 to reach staff at the detention facility. They can check their system and tell you if a person is currently in custody. You can also ask about charges, bond amount, and next court date. Have the person's full name ready when you call. A date of birth helps too if you have it. The call is free and takes just a few minutes.

The Coconino County Sheriff's Office FAQ page provides details on how to check inmate status by phone, as shown below.

Some people wonder why Coconino does not post booking data online like other counties. The sheriff's office has not given a public reason. It may relate to privacy concerns or the 2024 court ruling in Houston v. Maricopa County. That case found that posting mugshots and personal data online can violate due process rights. Whatever the reason, the phone system works well for getting booking information in this county.

Coconino County Detention Facilities

The county runs two jail facilities. The main one sits in Flagstaff at 951 E. Sawmill Road. This is where most bookings happen. It serves the Flagstaff area and surrounding communities. The second facility is in Page, up near the Utah border. Both jails are run by the Coconino County Sheriff's Office. All booking records from both locations go into the same system.

The Coconino County Detention Facility page shows key information about the jail in Flagstaff.

When police in Coconino County arrest someone, that person goes to one of these two jails for booking. It does not matter if city police, county deputies, or state troopers made the arrest. The sheriff processes everyone. This creates a single booking record system for the whole county. The Flagstaff jail handles most of the volume since it serves the largest population center.

Note: The Page facility is smaller and mainly serves the northern part of Coconino County near Lake Powell.

Visiting Inmates in Coconino County

Coconino County uses video visitation through GettingOut. This system lets family and friends see inmates on a video screen. You can visit from a kiosk at the jail or from home using your own computer or phone. The service works similar to a video call. You schedule a time slot and then connect at that time.

Each inmate gets 60 minutes of free video visitation per week. This is more generous than many Arizona jails. Extra time costs money if you go over the free amount. To set up a visit, go to the GettingOut website and create an account. Search for your inmate using their name or booking number. Then pick a time that works. Staff at the jail can also help you schedule visits if you go there in person.

The video visitation system also shows you if someone is in custody at the Coconino County jail. When you search for an inmate on GettingOut, it will tell you if they are there. This gives you another way to check recent bookings in Coconino County besides calling the jail directly.

Coconino County Booking Record Copies

If you need an official copy of a booking report, contact the Records Unit. Their phone number is (928) 214-2530. The records office handles requests for jail reports, arrest records, and other documents. You can make requests by phone, mail, or in person at the sheriff's office in Flagstaff.

The consolidated Police and Sheriff Records program in Flagstaff serves as the central spot for all reports. This includes Flagstaff city police reports, county sheriff reports, and detention facility records. The Flagstaff Records Division page lists the current fees. Expect to pay $8 for the first 20 pages of a report. Each page after that costs 10 cents. Body worn camera videos cost $46 per hour to process plus a $30 fee for digital storage.

Payment options depend on how you make the request. In person requests usually take cash or money order. Mail requests should include a money order or cashier's check. The records staff can tell you exactly what they need when you call. Processing time varies based on how busy they are and what you asked for.

Note: Crime victims may get one free copy of reports under Arizona law per A.R.S. 39-127.

Arizona Booking Records Law

Booking records in Arizona are public under state law. A.R.S. 39-121 says public records must be open for anyone to inspect during office hours. You do not need a reason to see them. You do not need to be the person named in the record. This broad right applies to most government records including jail booking data.

The Central State Repository statute also plays a role. Under A.R.S. 41-1750, all Arizona law enforcement must report arrest information to the state. The law allows agencies to share criminal history info that is "reasonably contemporaneous" to a current event. This is why booking data can be shared with the public. Coconino County follows these state laws even though they do not post data online.

There are some limits on what gets released. Victim information has extra protection under A.R.S. 13-4434. Juvenile records have strict privacy rules. Financial account numbers get redacted. But the basic booking facts like name, charges, and custody status are public for adult arrests in Coconino County.

Arizona State Booking Resources

If someone from Coconino County ends up in state prison, you can search the Arizona Department of Corrections database. This shows inmates serving time in state prisons, not county jails. The search is free and works from any device. You can look up people by name or prison ID number.

The Arizona VINE system lets crime victims register for alerts. When an inmate's custody status changes, you get notified. This works for both county jails and state prisons. It is a free service run by the state. You create an account and sign up for alerts about specific offenders.

For statewide criminal history records, the Arizona Department of Public Safety runs the Central State Repository. Private citizens cannot get background checks through this system. But you can request your own record by mail. Send a Record Review Packet to DPS at 2222 W. Encanto Blvd in Phoenix. The phone number is (602) 223-2222.

Coconino County Cities and Bookings

Coconino County covers a huge area with several towns and cities. Flagstaff is the largest city and the county seat. It has its own police department, but all arrests go to the county jail for booking. The Flagstaff Police Department works closely with the sheriff's office on records. This makes it easy to find booking information since it all flows to the same place.

Other communities in Coconino County include Page, Williams, Sedona (partly in Yavapai County), Tusayan near the Grand Canyon, and several smaller towns. Law enforcement in these areas books arrestees into the county jail system. Some areas are served by the sheriff's office directly. Others have small local police departments. Either way, the booking records end up with the Coconino County Sheriff.

The Navajo Nation and Hopi Reservation also occupy large parts of Coconino County. Tribal police handle most matters on reservation land. Those bookings go to tribal facilities, not the county jail. If you are looking for someone arrested on tribal land, contact the tribal police department instead of the county sheriff.
