Queen Creek 72 Hour Booking Information

Queen Creek 72 hour booking records may be in two different county systems. Queen Creek is unique because the city spans both Maricopa and Pinal Counties.

The Queen Creek Police Department serves both portions of the city, but they transport to different jails based on location.
