Queen Creek Inmate Info Quick Facts
How Queen Creek Arrests Work
Queen Creek has its own police department. Officers patrol the town and respond to calls. They make arrests for crimes that happen in Queen Creek. But the town does not have a jail facility to hold people.
After an arrest, officers take the person to a Maricopa County jail for booking. The sheriff's office handles all detention for Queen Creek. This is a common setup across the Phoenix metro area. Many cities contract with MCSO for jail services rather than building their own facilities. It saves money and puts all county inmates in one system.
The booking process starts at the MCSO Intake Transfer Release facility. Staff take fingerprints and photos. They record the charges and set an initial bond amount based on a schedule. The person either posts bond or waits in custody for their first court date. Queen Creek arrests show up in the MCSO inmate database just like any other Maricopa County booking.
Note: Queen Creek also extends into Pinal County in some areas, so check both county systems if needed.
