Where Scottsdale Arrest Records Are Kept

Scottsdale arrest records come from two agencies. The Scottsdale Police Department creates and stores police reports from arrests made by Scottsdale officers. These reports document what happened, evidence collected, and charges filed.

The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office handles booking. When Scottsdale police arrest someone, that person goes to a county jail for processing. The sheriff creates booking records with mugshots, charges, and custody information. For complete arrest details, you may need records from both the city police and county sheriff in Scottsdale.
