Coconino County Arrest Records

Coconino County recent arrests are handled by the Coconino County Sheriff's Office. The county is the second largest in the United States by land area. It covers over 18,000 square miles of northern Arizona. Despite its size, the population is spread thin across the region. Flagstaff serves as the county seat and largest city. The sheriff runs two detention facilities, one in Flagstaff and one in Page. Unlike many Arizona counties, Coconino does not have an online inmate search. You must call the jail to find out if someone is in custody. This page explains how to check for recent arrests, request records, and contact the right office in Coconino County.

Coconino County Sheriff Arrest Records

The Coconino County Sheriff's Office handles law enforcement across this vast county. Deputies cover rural areas, small towns, and unincorporated land. The county includes parts of the Grand Canyon, Navajo Nation, and several national forests. With so much ground to cover, the sheriff focuses on areas outside city limits.

Inmates are not listed on the sheriff's website. This is different from many Arizona counties that have online search tools. To find out if someone is currently housed at the Coconino County Detention Facility, you must call. The jail phone number is (928) 226-5200. Staff can tell you if someone is there and provide basic booking information.

The main detention facility sits in Flagstaff at 911 East Sawmill Road. A second facility is in Page for the northern part of the county. Both facilities house inmates awaiting trial and those serving short sentences. Call the same number for either location.

Phone-Based Inmate Search

Since there is no online search, calling is the only way to check for recent Coconino County arrests. Keep the jail number handy: (928) 226-5200. Staff answer calls during regular hours. They can confirm if someone is in custody and give you basic details about their case.

When you call, have as much information as possible. The person's full name helps. Date of birth is useful too. If you know when the arrest happened, that narrows it down. Staff deal with many calls, so being prepared speeds things up.

For questions about the jail itself, the general sheriff number is 928-774-4523. This connects you to the main office in Flagstaff. They can point you to the right division if you need something other than inmate information.

Note: Coconino County requires phone calls to check inmate status since no online database is available to the public.

Flagstaff Police and Sheriff Records

The Flagstaff Records program handles both city police and county sheriff reports. This is a consolidated program. Staff have electronic access to calls for service, incidents, crime reports, arrests, and jail bookings. This makes it easier to find what you need without going to two offices.

The records office serves as the central hub for police and sheriff reports throughout Coconino County.

The state portal works alongside local resources to help you find arrest and criminal records across Arizona agencies.

To request records, contact the Flagstaff records office at 928-779-3646. Hours are 8 am to 5 pm on weekdays. You can visit in person at 911 E Sawmill Road in Flagstaff. This is the same address as the detention facility, so everything is in one place.

Coconino County Records Fees

Fees for Coconino County arrest records follow a set schedule. The consolidated records program has clear pricing. Here is what you can expect:

• Flagstaff Police reports: $8 for the first 20 pages
• Personal background check: $7
• Body camera videos: $46.00 per hour plus $30.00 for digital storage
• Additional pages: varies by document type

Sheriff reports may have slightly different fees. Ask when you submit your request. Payment is required before you get your copies. Check with staff about accepted payment methods. Some offices take credit cards while others require cash or money orders.

Victims of Part I crimes can get one free copy of their report under A.R.S. § 39-127. This includes crimes like assault, robbery, and burglary. Ask the records staff if you qualify for a free copy.

Arizona Public Records Law

You have the right to access arrest records under Arizona law. A.R.S. § 39-121 says public records must be open for inspection during office hours. This includes arrest reports, booking records, and related documents. The law applies to Coconino County just like the rest of the state.

Some information gets redacted before release. Under A.R.S. § 41-4172, dates of birth, social security numbers, and home addresses are removed from public copies. This protects privacy while still allowing access to basic arrest facts. You will see the charges and arrest details, just not all personal identifiers.

If an agency denies your request, they must explain why. Not all records are public. Some have exemptions for ongoing investigations or sealed cases. But most arrest records after booking are available to anyone who asks.

Arizona State Arrest Databases

Some Coconino County arrests lead to state prison. When someone gets convicted and sentenced to more than one year, they go to state prison instead of county jail. You can search state inmates through the Arizona inmate data search portal.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety maintains the Central State Repository under A.R.S. § 41-1750. This is where all criminal records in Arizona go. Every arrest gets reported to this central database. It is the most complete source for criminal history information.

You can check your own record through the DPS Record Review process. This involves submitting fingerprints and a request form. The review is free for your own record. Getting someone else's criminal history requires proper legal authorization or an official purpose.

For victim notification, sign up at VINELink. This system alerts you when an offender's custody status changes. It works statewide and is free to use.

Coconino County Arrest Record Sealing

Arizona allows sealing of some arrest records. Under A.R.S. § 13-911, you may qualify to seal convictions, dismissed charges, or arrests that never led to prosecution. The rules vary based on the type of offense and how long ago it happened.

Waiting periods range from 2 to 10 years. More serious felonies have longer waits. Misdemeanors can be sealed sooner. The time starts after you complete all terms of your sentence. This includes any probation or parole. You cannot seal a record while still under supervision.

The Coconino County Superior Court handles sealing petitions. Contact the clerk of court in Flagstaff for the forms and instructions. Once sealed, the arrest will not show on most background checks. You can legally deny it happened on job and housing applications.

Cities in Coconino County

Flagstaff is the largest city in Coconino County. It has its own police department that handles arrests within city limits. For Flagstaff arrests, you might contact Flagstaff Police directly. The consolidated records program covers both city and county, which makes it easier to find what you need from one place.

Other communities in Coconino County include Page, Williams, and Sedona. Page has its own police department. Williams is smaller and may rely more on the sheriff. Sedona sits partly in Coconino and partly in Yavapai County, which can complicate records searches.

The Navajo Nation covers a large part of Coconino County. Tribal police handle law enforcement there. Those records go through tribal systems, not the county sheriff. If an arrest happened on tribal land, contact Navajo Nation police instead.
