Coconino County Sheriff's Office

The Coconino County Sheriff's Office is located at 911 E. Sawmill Road in Flagstaff. This facility serves as headquarters for the department and includes the detention center where booking records are created. All arrest processing for county charges happens here, making it the central point for arrest records in the county.

The main phone number is (928) 774-4523. For records specifically, call (928) 214-2530. Staff can help you understand what records are available and how to request them. The records division handles requests for arrest reports, incident documentation, and other law enforcement records maintained by the Coconino County Sheriff.

Because Coconino County is so large geographically, the sheriff's office also has substations in outlying areas to serve remote communities. However, all records requests go through the main office in Flagstaff. Whether an arrest happened near the Grand Canyon, in Page, or anywhere else in the county, the booking record ends up in the Flagstaff system. This centralization makes it easier to know where to direct your request.

How to Find Coconino County Inmate Information

Coconino County does not offer an online inmate search tool. This sets it apart from most other Arizona counties where you can look up current inmates through a web portal. The lack of online search means you must use phone or in-person methods to check custody status.

To find out if someone is currently in the Coconino County jail, call (928) 226-5200. This is the detention facility line where staff can check if a specific person is in custody. You will need to provide the person's name and date of birth if you know it. Staff can tell you whether the person is there and basic booking information like charges and bond amount. This phone-only approach means you cannot browse current inmates the way you might in Maricopa or Pima County, but staff are generally helpful when you call with specific questions about someone in Coconino County. They handle these inquiries throughout the day.

For records of arrests that have already been processed or for copies of reports, you need to submit a formal request to the records division. Call (928) 214-2530 to start that process or visit the website for instructions.

Coconino County Coverage Area

Coconino County covers an enormous area of northern Arizona. From the south rim of the Grand Canyon to the high desert near Sedona, the sheriff's jurisdiction includes some of the most visited and remote areas in the state. The county seat of Flagstaff is where most administrative functions happen, including records management for the entire county.

Parts of Coconino County fall within the Navajo Nation and Hopi reservation lands. Arrests on tribal land by tribal police are handled separately from county records and go through tribal court systems. If you need records for an arrest on reservation land, you may need to contact tribal authorities directly rather than the county sheriff.

The county sheriff handles state and county charges in the non-reservation portions of Coconino County and coordinates with tribal agencies when cases overlap jurisdictions. Understanding where an arrest took place helps determine which agency has the records. Staff at the sheriff's office can help clarify jurisdiction questions if you are unsure where to look for a particular record.

Arizona Arrest Records Laws

Public access to arrest records is guaranteed under Arizona law. A.R.S. § 39-121 requires government agencies to make public records available for inspection and copying. The Coconino County Sheriff must comply with records requests unless the information is specifically exempt under law.

Some information in arrest records gets redacted before release. Social security numbers, victim personal information, and certain investigative details may be blacked out to protect privacy and safety. Juvenile records are not public in Arizona and cannot be released through a standard records request regardless of the circumstances.

People who want to seal their own criminal records can petition under A.R.S. § 13-911. This process goes through the court system, not the sheriff's office. Waiting periods and eligibility vary based on the type of offense. Once a record is sealed, it will not appear in future searches in Coconino County or elsewhere in Arizona. For statewide searches, contact the Arizona DPS Central State Repository.
