Arizona Inmate Records for Flagstaff
State level systems hold more records. The Arizona Department of Corrections handles prison inmates. If someone left Flagstaff jail for state prison, search the ADCRR database. It shows current location, release dates, and conviction details.
Visit the ADCRR inmate data search to look up prison inmates. This only covers state prison, not county jail. Coconino County jail and ADCRR are separate systems. Someone could be in the ADCRR database from a past prison term even if they are currently in Flagstaff jail on new charges.
Criminal history checks go through Arizona DPS. The Central State Repository holds arrest records from all Arizona agencies. Personal record reviews cost $22 for employees and $20 for volunteers. You must submit fingerprints. Call 602-223-2222 for the Criminal History Records Section. This is different from checking jail status. Criminal history shows past arrests and convictions, not current custody.

Arizona law gives you the right to see government records. A.R.S. 39-121 says public records must be open during office hours. This covers police reports, jail logs, and booking records. Flagstaff agencies must respond to requests promptly. Denial counts as denial if they just ignore you.
Some records have limits. Medical files need a release from the inmate. Security footage often requires a subpoena. Juvenile records stay sealed. Open investigation files may be withheld temporarily.
