Gilbert Booking and Release Records

Gilbert booking and release records involve two agencies. The Gilbert Police Department handles arrests within town limits and maintains police reports. Jail booking records are kept by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office which operates the county detention system. When Gilbert police arrest someone, that person is transported to a Maricopa County jail for processing. Gilbert police have incident details and arrest information. The county sheriff has jail records showing formal charges, bond amounts, and custody status. You may need records from both agencies for complete information about a Gilbert arrest.
