Peoria Booking and Release Records

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

The Maricopa County jail system offers various services for inmates and their families. Since Peoria uses county jail, these services apply to Peoria arrests. This includes visitation, money deposits, and communication options.

Bring valid photo ID to every visit. Check the MCSO website or call ahead to confirm current hours and requirements. Rules about what you can wear and bring apply strictly.

To add money to an inmate's account, use the Maricopa County approved methods. Electronic deposits go through third party services. These charge processing fees on top of your deposit amount. You can also deposit cash at jail kiosks during certain hours. Inmates use these funds for commissary purchases including snacks, hygiene items, phone time, and other approved products.
