Peoria 72 Hour Booking Information

Peoria 72 hour booking records go through the Maricopa County jail system for most of the city. Peoria is in the Northwest Valley of metropolitan Phoenix, straddling the border between Maricopa and Yavapai Counties. Most of the population lives in Maricopa County, where MCSO handles jail bookings. Peoria Police make arrests, then transport to county jail for processing. This page explains how to access Peoria 72 hour booking data from both counties.

Where to Find Peoria 72 Hour Booking Records

Most Peoria arrests book into Maricopa County jails. Call (602) 876-0322 any time to check custody status. The MCSO jail information line operates around the clock. Staff can confirm if someone is in custody and provide basic booking information including charges and bail amount.

A small portion of Peoria extends into Yavapai County in the north. If an arrest occurs in that area, booking may go to Yavapai County jail in Prescott instead of Maricopa County. Call Yavapai County jail at (928) 771-3368 if you cannot find someone in the Maricopa system. This is uncommon but worth checking if your initial search comes up empty.

Peoria Police serve the entire city regardless of county lines. The arrest report comes from Peoria Police either way. Only the booking location changes based on where the arrest occurred. The city police create one set of records, but the jail records go to different counties depending on geography.

Peoria Police Records

Contact Peoria Police records at (623) 773-7098. Email policerecords@peoriaaz.gov for written requests. The records office is at 8351 W. Cinnabar Ave, Peoria, AZ 85345. Hours are Monday through Thursday, 7 AM to 6 PM. The city uses a four-day work week, so the office is closed Fridays.

The Peoria Police records page lists all available services and provides request forms and fee information.

Arizona DPS maintains statewide criminal history records that may supplement local Peoria records for comprehensive background checks.

Arrest reports are separate from jail booking records. The police create the arrest report with details about what happened. The county jail creates the booking record with custody information. Both documents may be needed for a complete picture of an arrest. Request them from different agencies.

Records Request Fees

Peoria Police charge standard fees for document copies. Paper copies are typically $0.25 per page. Audio and video copies may have additional fees based on staff time required to produce them. Fingerprint services are available for a fee. Call the records line for current pricing on specific document types.

Payment methods include cash, check, and money order. Some transactions may accept credit cards. Verify payment options when you submit your request. Prepayment is usually required before documents are released.

Two County Considerations

The split between Maricopa and Yavapai Counties creates complications for record searches. Most Peoria residents live in Maricopa County and most arrests occur there. But the Yavapai portion includes some residential areas and the Lake Pleasant region, where arrests do occur.

If you need comprehensive records for someone in Peoria, check both county systems. Court records also split between the two counties. Maricopa County Superior Court handles cases from the Maricopa portion. Yavapai County Superior Court handles cases from the Yavapai portion. The Peoria Police report will indicate where the arrest occurred, which tells you which county handles the booking and court case.

For background checks, this means searching multiple databases may be necessary. Someone could have records in Maricopa County, Yavapai County, or both, depending on where incidents occurred within Peoria city limits.

Court Cases After Booking

Peoria Municipal Court handles misdemeanor and traffic cases from the city. Call (623) 773-7699 for case information. The court is at 8875 N. 85th Ave in Peoria. Hours match the city's four-day week. The municipal court has jurisdiction over city ordinance violations and minor criminal matters.

Felony cases go to the relevant county Superior Court. For arrests in the Maricopa County portion, cases go to Maricopa County Superior Court in Phoenix. For arrests in the Yavapai County portion, cases go to Yavapai County Superior Court in Prescott. The location of the arrest determines which court has jurisdiction over serious charges.
