Glendale 72 Hour Booking Records

Glendale 72 hour booking records go through the Maricopa County jail system. Glendale is in the West Valley, northwest of Phoenix, with a population of about 250,000. Home to the State Farm Stadium, the city handles significant event-related arrests during football games and concerts. Glendale Police make the arrests, but booking occurs at Maricopa County Sheriff facilities. This page explains how to find Glendale 72 hour booking data and request records.

Where to Find Glendale 72 Hour Booking Records

Glendale does not operate its own jail. All arrests book into Maricopa County Sheriff facilities. Call (602) 876-0322 to check custody status through the MCSO jail line. The line is staffed around the clock. Give the person's name to confirm if they are in custody and get basic booking information including charges and bail.

MCSO operates multiple jail facilities across the county. Glendale arrests may go to Fourth Avenue Jail downtown, Estrella Jail, or other facilities based on classification and space. The phone line searches all locations at once. You do not need to know which specific jail to call.

Booking records appear in the system after the person completes intake at the jail. There can be a delay of several hours between the arrest and when the booking shows up. If someone was just arrested and you call right away, they may not be in the system yet. Try again later.

Glendale Police Records Request

The Glendale Police public records page explains how to request documents. The city provides several record types at different price points. Letter of clearance costs $5. Document copies cost $0.20 per page. Audio and video may have additional fees based on processing time.

The records office is at 6835 N. 57th Drive, Glendale, AZ 85301. Submit requests in person, by mail, or through the online system. Online submissions often get processed faster than mail requests.

Contact Information and Hours

Call (623) 930-3000 for general Glendale Police inquiries. The records division direct line is (623) 930-3100. Email Records@glendaleaz.com for written requests. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM. Closed weekends and holidays.

Processing time depends on request complexity. Simple incident reports may be ready in a few days. Body camera footage and video requests take longer because staff must review and potentially redact content. Expect at least one to two weeks for video requests. Large requests or those requiring extensive review may take longer.

Letter of Clearance

Glendale Police offer letter of clearance service for $5. This letter certifies that you have no criminal record with Glendale Police Department. Many employers and licensing agencies require clearance letters. The letter only covers Glendale records. It does not include other cities, county records, or state records.

To get a clearance letter, you must appear in person with valid identification. The records office can typically process same-day requests during business hours. For comprehensive background clearance, you may need separate letters from multiple agencies or a statewide check through Arizona DPS.

Event-Related Arrests

Glendale hosts major events at State Farm Stadium and other venues. NFL football games, Super Bowls, concerts, and other events bring large crowds. Police activity increases during these events. Arrests spike before and after major games.

Event-related arrests follow the same booking process. Glendale Police make the arrest. MCSO processes the booking at county jail. If someone was arrested during an event, check the county jail line just like any other arrest. The records request process is also the same, though high-profile events may generate more requests and cause delays.

Court Cases After Booking

Glendale City Court handles misdemeanor cases and traffic violations from within city limits. Contact the court at (623) 930-2100 for case information. The court is at 5850 W. Glendale Ave in Glendale. More serious felony charges go to Maricopa County Superior Court regardless of which city made the arrest.

Court records are separate from both booking records and arrest reports. They document the legal proceedings after charges are filed. One arrest creates records in three systems: police, jail, and court. Each tracks a different part of the process and must be requested separately.

Nearby Arizona Cities

Glendale borders Phoenix to the south and west. The city sits in the West Valley region of metropolitan Phoenix. Major freeways connect it to the rest of the metro area, making it easy to reach venues but also creating jurisdictional complexities for incidents on highways.

Nearby cities include Phoenix to the south and east, Peoria to the north, Surprise to the northwest, Avondale to the southwest, and Goodyear further west. All these cities book through Maricopa County jails. Avondale is the only nearby city with its own jail facility.
