Search Navajo County Recent Arrests

Navajo County covers a large portion of northeastern Arizona. The sheriff maintains a live inmate housing database that updates every few hours. You can search recent arrests through this system at any time. Navajo County includes parts of the Navajo Nation and Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest. The jail in Holbrook processes all arrests made by county deputies. This page explains how to find arrest records, check on current inmates, and request copies of booking information from the Navajo County Sheriff's Office.

Navajo County Sheriff Arrest Records

The Navajo County Sheriff's Office handles law enforcement for this northeastern Arizona county. Deputies cover a vast area of over 9,900 square miles. This makes it one of the larger counties in Arizona by land area. The terrain includes high desert, forests, and portions of tribal lands.

All arrests by county deputies go through the jail in Holbrook. The sheriff maintains a digital system to track inmates. This data is available online through the inmate housing report. The system updates every three hours, giving you near-current information on who is in custody.

The Navajo County inmate housing database shows current inmates. The report displays booking number, inmate name, date of birth, and location within the facility. This is a live database, not just a static list. Search results reflect actual current jail population.

Access the Navajo County inmate housing system to see who is currently booked in the county jail.

The database refreshes regularly so you can check back if the person you seek was recently arrested.

Navajo County Jail Information

The Navajo County Jail is located at 137 W Arizona Street in Holbrook. This facility serves the entire county. All bookings come through here regardless of where in the county the arrest occurred.

Staff process new arrests as they come in. Each person gets a booking number assigned. The system records charges, personal information, and tracks the inmate through the jail stay. When someone bonds out or gets released, the system updates within the normal refresh cycle.

Reach the jail at (928) 524-4450. The main sheriff's office number is (928) 524-4050. Call these numbers to ask about inmates, visiting hours, or bail procedures. Staff can confirm if someone is in custody and provide basic booking information.

The jail uses JailATM for inmate deposits and commissary. Family members can add money to an inmate's account through this service. The jail phone system allows inmates to make calls to approved numbers.

Note: The inmate housing database updates every 3 hours, so very recent arrests may not appear immediately.

Request Navajo County Arrest Records

Arizona law makes most arrest records public. Under A.R.S. § 39-121, you can inspect public records during business hours. This covers arrest reports, booking sheets, and incident documentation held by the Navajo County Sheriff.

To get copies, you submit a request to the sheriff's office. You can ask in person at the Holbrook office or call to learn their preferred method. Include as much detail as possible. Full names help a lot. Arrest dates or approximate timeframes speed up the search. The more information you provide, the faster staff can locate your records.

Some parts of records get redacted. Under A.R.S. § 41-4172, personal details like birth dates, social security numbers, and addresses are removed from public copies. You still get the core arrest information. Just not the most sensitive personal data.

Response times depend on workload and complexity. Simple requests may be ready within days. Larger requests take more time. The sheriff's office must respond in a reasonable period. If you have a deadline, mention it when you submit your request.

Search Navajo County Arrests Online

The inmate housing database is your primary online tool. It shows current inmates with basic information. You do not need an account to view it. Just visit the page and browse or search the list.

The database shows booking numbers, names, birth dates, and housing locations. Housing location tells you where in the jail the person is assigned. This confirms they are currently in Navajo County custody. When someone is released, their record drops from the active list.

For historical arrests, the online system will not help. The database only shows current inmates. To find records of past arrests, contact the sheriff's office directly. They maintain files on all arrests even after release. A formal records request gets you access to these older files.

State level resources can help your search too. The Arizona Department of Corrections inmate search covers state prisons. If someone from Navajo County went to state prison, you can find them in that system. The Arizona DPS maintains the statewide criminal repository under A.R.S. § 41-1750.

Navajo County Records Fees

Copies of arrest records from Navajo County involve fees. Viewing records in person is free. Getting copies costs money. The county sets fees based on state guidelines and local policy.

Costs vary by what you request. Simple booking sheets cost less than full incident reports. Requests that require staff time to compile have higher fees. Audio or video materials cost more than paper records. Ask the sheriff's office for a fee estimate before placing your request.

Payment options may be limited. Cash works at the counter. Money orders are common for mail requests. The office can tell you what payment methods they accept. Planning your payment ahead saves time when you pick up records.

Crime victims may qualify for free copies. Under A.R.S. § 39-127, victims of certain Part I crimes receive one free copy of their police report. Ask staff if this applies to your situation.

Navajo County Arrest Record Sealing

Arizona permits sealing of certain arrest records under A.R.S. § 13-911. Sealing hides the record from standard background checks. The record still exists but is not visible to employers, landlords, and others who run searches.

Waiting periods apply based on offense type. Class 2 or 3 felonies require 10 years. Class 4 through 6 felonies need 5 years. Class 1 misdemeanors have a 3 year wait. Class 2 or 3 misdemeanors only need 2 years. Arrests without charges can be sealed right away without any waiting period.

You petition the court to seal a record. The Superior Court in Navajo County handles these requests. You must meet all eligibility requirements. The court reviews your petition and makes a decision. Once approved, you can legally deny the arrest happened when asked by employers or on applications.

Consider getting legal help if you want to seal a record. The process has specific requirements and forms. Missing something can delay your case. Legal aid organizations may assist if you cannot afford a private attorney.

Navajo County Victim Notification

VINE provides victim notification services in Navajo County. This statewide system lets crime victims track offenders in custody. You sign up to receive alerts about custody status changes.

Register through VINELink with the offender's information. Pick your notification method. Options include phone, email, and text. The system sends alerts when an inmate is released, transferred, escapes, or has other status changes.

VINE costs nothing to use. It runs continuously, every day of the year. If a status change happens at any hour, you get notified promptly. This helps victims prepare and stay safe. Knowing when someone is released provides important peace of mind.

Navajo County and Tribal Land

Navajo County includes portions of the Navajo Nation and other tribal lands. Jurisdiction on these lands can be complex. The county sheriff handles some areas. Tribal police handle others. Federal agencies may be involved in certain cases.

Arrests on tribal land may not appear in the county system. Tribal police have their own booking and detention facilities. If you think someone was arrested on tribal land, contact the Navajo Nation Department of Public Safety or the relevant tribal police agency.

Cases that happen on tribal land may involve tribal courts rather than state courts. The records systems are separate. A search of Navajo County records will only show arrests made by county authorities. Tribal arrests require contacting tribal agencies directly.

If you are unsure which agency handled an arrest, start with the county. Staff can often tell you if the arrest happened on tribal land and direct you to the right agency. They cannot access tribal records but can point you in the right direction.

Towns in Navajo County

Navajo County has no cities over 50,000 people. The larger communities include Holbrook, Show Low, Winslow, and Snowflake. None have populations exceeding the threshold for separate city pages on this site.

Holbrook is the county seat. The courthouse, jail, and main sheriff's offices are here. It sits along Interstate 40 and serves as the administrative center for the county.

Show Low is the largest city in the county. It has its own police department. Arrests by Show Low Police stay in their system initially, though inmates may be housed in the county jail. For Show Low arrests, contact their police department directly.

The sheriff handles unincorporated areas and provides support to smaller communities. Where a city has its own police, that department handles local arrests. All county jail inmates appear in the county inmate housing database regardless of arresting agency.
