You can also visit the consolidated records division at 911 E Sawmill Road, Flagstaff, AZ 86001. Call (928) 213-2000 for general questions. In-person visits let you speak directly with records staff who can help identify what documents exist. Bring any paperwork you have from the incident. Case numbers speed up the search process considerably.

The consolidated system handles Flagstaff police records along with records from several partner agencies. Participating departments include Flagstaff Police Department, Coconino County Sheriff's Office, Williams Police Department, NAU Police Department, and the METRO Task Force. This shared system makes it easier to find records when you are not sure which agency responded to your incident. Staff can search across all participating agencies in one request.

Processing times depend on what you request. Simple incident reports are often ready within a week. Background checks take about the same time. Video requests take longer because staff must review all footage and apply redactions. Body camera recordings need faces of minors blacked out along with other protected content. The department will contact you when records are ready for pickup.

Arizona Public Records Access

ARS 39-121 gives the public access to police records during office hours. Flagstaff police records fall under this law. You do not need to state a reason for your request. Anyone can request records regardless of their purpose or where they live. Residency in Arizona is not required.

Video fees are capped at $46 per hour under ARS 39-129. This state limit applies to body camera footage, dash cam video, and other recordings. The digital storage fee is separate from the hourly review charge. If you need your video on a thumb drive or other media, the $30 storage fee applies on top of the review costs.

Some records have restrictions under state and federal law. Active investigations may delay release until the case closes. Records involving juveniles have names and identifying details removed. Victim information is protected in many situations. Medical records and social security numbers are always redacted. The department follows state guidelines when deciding what information to withhold or black out before release.

The consolidated system means your request may involve records from multiple agencies. Staff will gather documents from all relevant partner departments. This saves you from having to submit separate requests to Flagstaff PD, Coconino Sheriff, and other agencies individually. One request covers all participating agencies.

Flagstaff and Coconino County

Flagstaff is the county seat of Coconino County. The consolidated records division handles records for both Flagstaff PD and Coconino County Sheriff at the same location. This shared arrangement makes Flagstaff unique among Arizona cities. You do not need to figure out which agency handled your incident before submitting a request.

Coconino County Sheriff handles incidents outside Flagstaff city limits. Williams Police handles the town of Williams west of Flagstaff. NAU Police covers Northern Arizona University campus. All these agencies participate in the consolidated records system.

Arizona Department of Public Safety handles incidents on Interstate 40 and other state highways. If your incident happened on a state route through the Flagstaff area, DPS may have the records. Contact DPS directly for state highway incidents. The case number prefix indicates which agency responded to your incident.
