Where Gilbert Arrest Records Are Kept
Gilbert arrest records come from two sources. The Gilbert Police Department creates police reports documenting arrests made by Gilbert officers. These reports include witness statements, officer observations, and evidence details.
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office handles booking. When Gilbert police arrest someone, that person goes to a county jail for processing. The sheriff creates the booking record with mugshots, charges, and custody information. You may need to contact both agencies for complete information about a Gilbert arrest.
