Gilbert police records are maintained by the Gilbert Police Department in the southeast Phoenix metro area. The department serves approximately 289,000 residents in one of Arizona's largest cities. You can request incident reports, body camera footage, 911 audio, and other records through their JustFOIA portal. Gilbert PD offers free name searches and premise history, making basic lookups accessible without fees.

How to Request Gilbert Police Records

Submit requests through the JustFOIA portal. Create an account to submit requests, track progress, and pay fees online. The system sends notifications when your records are ready. You can manage multiple requests from a single account and receive records electronically in most cases.

You can also visit the records office at 75 East Civic Center Drive, Gilbert, AZ 85296. Call (480) 635-7020 for questions. Email gilbertpdrecords@gilbertaz.gov with inquiries about Gilbert police records. Staff can help you determine what records exist and explain the request process.

Hours are Monday through Thursday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Gilbert uses a four-day work week, so plan visits accordingly. The office is closed on Fridays.

Processing times vary based on the type of request. Simple incident reports are often ready within a week or two.
