Two Types of Records

The county jail booking record and the Gilbert Police arrest report are different documents from different agencies. The booking record is created at the county jail during intake. It shows the person's name, charges, bail amount, booking date, and facility location. Gilbert Police create the arrest report. It describes what happened, why the arrest was made, and what evidence was collected.

Both documents may be needed for a complete picture of a Gilbert arrest. Request the booking record from MCSO. Request the arrest report from Gilbert Police. Neither agency can provide the other's document. They maintain separate records systems that do not share data automatically.

Court Cases After Booking

Gilbert Municipal Court handles misdemeanor cases and traffic violations from within city limits. Call (480) 503-6400 for court information. The court is at 55 E. Civic Center Dr in Gilbert, near the police records office. Hours are Monday through Friday during regular business hours.

Felony cases go to Maricopa County Superior Court. The county court system handles all serious criminal matters regardless of which city made the arrest. Search the county court portal for case records. The portal shows charges, hearing dates, and case status. Document copies may require fees.

Court records track legal proceedings separate from the arrest and booking. A single arrest generates records in three systems: police department, county jail, and court. Each serves a different purpose in documenting the case.
