Search Chandler 72 Hour Booking Records

Chandler 72 hour booking records are processed at Maricopa County jail facilities. Chandler is one of the larger cities in the Phoenix metro area with nearly 280,000 residents, located in the Southeast Valley. Chandler Police handle arrests, but the Maricopa County Sheriff operates the jails where booking occurs. You can search for booking information through the county or request police records directly from Chandler. This page covers both options for finding Chandler 72 hour booking data.

Where to Find Chandler 72 Hour Booking Records

Chandler does not operate its own jail. All arrests book into Maricopa County Sheriff facilities. Call the MCSO jail line at (602) 876-0322 to check on someone's custody status. This line operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Staff can confirm if a person is in custody and provide basic booking information including charges and bail amount.

The booking record is created when the person arrives at the county jail. There can be a delay of several hours between the arrest and when the booking appears in the system. If you call immediately after an arrest, the person may not show up yet. Call back later if your first inquiry returns no results.

MCSO operates multiple jail facilities across Maricopa County. Chandler arrests may go to the Lower Buckeye Jail, Fourth Avenue Jail, or other facilities depending on classification level and available space. The phone line can search all facilities at once. You do not need to know which specific jail to call.

Processing Times

Chandler Police reports take about 10 business days to process. This is longer than some cities in the area. Plan ahead if you need records for a legal deadline. Digital media like body camera footage takes 4 to 5 months due to processing backlogs. This is one of the longer waits in the Phoenix area for video records.

The backlog affects video and body camera requests more than paper documents. If you only need the written police report, that comes faster. If you need video evidence, the wait is significant. Consider whether video is essential or if the written report will suffice for your needs.

The county jail booking record is typically faster to obtain than the Chandler Police arrest report. If you need basic information about charges and bail, start with MCSO. The police report adds context about what happened during the arrest.

Two Types of Records

The county jail booking record and the Chandler Police arrest report are separate documents from separate agencies. The booking record shows jail intake information: name, charges, booking date, bail amount, and facility location. Chandler Police create the arrest report with details about what happened before and during the arrest.

Both records may be needed for complete information about a Chandler arrest. Request the booking record from MCSO. Request the arrest report from Chandler Police. Neither agency can provide the other's document. They maintain separate systems.

Court Cases After Booking

Chandler Municipal Court handles misdemeanor cases and traffic violations from within city limits. Contact the court at (480) 782-4800 for case information. The court is at 200 E Chicago St in downtown Chandler, near the police records office. More serious felony charges go to Maricopa County Superior Court.

Court records are separate from both the booking record and the arrest report. They track legal proceedings after charges are filed. One arrest generates records in three systems: police, jail, and court. Each tracks a different part of the process and requires a separate request.
