Santa Cruz County 72 Hour Booking Records

Santa Cruz County 72 hour booking records require a phone call or email request to access. The county does not have an online inmate search portal. Santa Cruz County covers southern Arizona along the Mexican border, including Nogales. The Adult Detention Center opened in 2011 and handles all county bookings. This page explains how to find Santa Cruz County 72 hour booking information and contact the jail for inmate status.

Santa Cruz County Sheriff Contact

The Santa Cruz County Sheriff main page provides department contact information. The main sheriff number is (520) 761-7869. For 72 hour booking questions, the detention center line is (520) 761-7875. The sheriff's office handles both law enforcement and jail operations.

Call the detention line to check if someone was recently booked. Staff can confirm custody status, charges, and booking dates. For detailed records or official copies, submit a written request. Email public records requests to publicrecords@santacruzcountyaz.gov.

The sheriff's office serves Nogales and the unincorporated areas of Santa Cruz County. Arrests by Nogales Police also book into the county jail. When searching for someone arrested in Nogales, contact the Santa Cruz County Detention Center.

Santa Cruz County Adult Detention Center

The Santa Cruz County jail information page covers the detention facility. The Adult Detention Center opened in 2011 and can house up to 372 inmates. All Santa Cruz County 72 hour bookings process through this facility. The address is 2170 N. Congress Dr in Nogales, AZ 85621.

Video visitation must be scheduled at least one day in advance. Call (520) 761-7875 to schedule. ICSolutions handles inmate communication services. OffenderWatch tracks registered offenders in the area. These third-party services work with the county but require separate registration.

Santa Cruz County Border Considerations

Santa Cruz County borders Mexico at Nogales. Federal agencies are active in the area for border enforcement. Arrests by federal agencies like Border Patrol or ICE are handled through federal courts, not county jail. Those records are separate from Santa Cruz County 72 hour booking data.

If you cannot find someone in the county system, check if the arrest was federal. The U.S. Marshals Service handles federal detainees in Arizona. County jails sometimes hold federal inmates under contract, but the records are managed differently.

Note: Border area jurisdiction can be complex. Ask the detaining agency for guidance on which records system applies.

Court Records After Booking

Santa Cruz County Superior Court handles felony cases after the initial booking. The court is at the county courthouse in Nogales. Justice Court handles misdemeanors. Court records are separate from Santa Cruz County 72 hour booking data. For complete case information, you need records from both the jail and the courts.

Nearby Arizona Counties
