Chandler Arrest and Booking Records

Chandler booking and release records come from two sources. The Chandler Police Department handles arrests in the city and keeps police reports and incident documents. Jail booking records are maintained by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office which runs the county jail system. When Chandler police arrest someone, that person is transported to Maricopa County jail for processing. The city police have details about the arrest itself including what happened and who was involved. The county sheriff has jail records showing custody status, formal charges, and bond information. For complete information you may need to contact both agencies.
