Gila County Booking and Release Records

Gila County booking records are maintained by the Gila County Sheriff's Office. The county jail in Globe processes arrests from across this rural Arizona county. When someone is booked into Gila County jail, the sheriff creates a record of their charges, bond amount, and custody status. The sheriff has offices in both Globe and Payson to serve the spread out population. For booking information about current inmates, contact the jail directly. To get copies of records or documents, work with the Records Division. Fees apply for copies but basic information about whether someone is in custody can usually be obtained by phone.
