Search Goodyear 72 Hour Booking Records

Goodyear 72 hour booking records go through Maricopa County jails. Most Goodyear arrests book into the Fourth Avenue Jail in downtown Phoenix.

This page covers both options and explains the request process.

Where to Find Goodyear 72 Hour Booking Records

Goodyear does not operate its own jail. Arrests book into the Fourth Avenue Jail, part of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office jail system. Call (602) 876-0322 to check custody status. This MCSO line operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Staff can confirm if someone is in custody at any county facility.

The Fourth Avenue Jail is the main intake facility for the West Valley. It processes most new arrests from Goodyear, Avondale, Buckeye, and surrounding areas. After initial booking, inmates may transfer to other facilities based on classification level and available space. The phone line checks all facilities, so you do not need to know which specific jail the person is in.

Booking records include the person's name, date of birth, charges, booking date and time, bail amount, and next court date. This information comes from the jail intake process. The arrest report from Goodyear Police contains different information about the circumstances of the arrest.

Payment Methods Are Limited

Goodyear accepts cash, money order, cashier's check, and business checks only. They do not accept personal checks or credit cards. This is important to know before visiting the records office. If you show up with only a credit card, you will not be able to pay for your records.

Money orders can be purchased at most post offices, grocery stores, and convenience stores. Make the money order payable to the City of Goodyear. Include your request number on the money order so staff can match it to your file. Mail payments to Goodyear Police Department Records, 11 N. 145th Ave, Goodyear, AZ 85338.

Fingerprint Services

Goodyear Police provide fingerprint services for a fee of $17. This service is only available on Tuesdays from 9 AM to 3 PM. You must come in person to the police station. No appointment is needed, but expect a wait during busy times.

Fingerprints are needed for some employment applications, licensing requirements, and background checks. The police department takes your fingerprints and provides a fingerprint card. They do not process the background check themselves. You submit the card to whatever agency requires it, such as the Arizona Department of Public Safety for state checks or the FBI for federal checks.

Court Cases After Booking

Goodyear Municipal Court handles misdemeanor and traffic cases from within city limits. Contact the court at (623) 932-1013 for case information. The court is at 190 N. Litchfield Rd in Goodyear. Hours are Monday through Thursday from 7 AM to 6 PM. The court uses a compressed work week.

Felony cases transfer to Maricopa County Superior Court. The county court has jurisdiction over serious crimes regardless of where the arrest happened. Search the county court portal to find case records, hearing dates, and case status. The portal is free to search but document copies may have fees.

Booking records, arrest reports, and court records are all different documents. Each serves a different purpose. The booking record confirms jail custody. The arrest report explains the arrest circumstances. The court record tracks legal proceedings. A complete picture of an arrest may require all three.
