Pinal County Police Records Online Portal

The Pinal County Sheriff's Office offers two options for requesting records. The online portal at GovTransfer lets you submit requests from home. First-time users need to create an account. Once set up, you can submit requests, track status, and pay fees through the system.

How to Request Pinal County Police Records

Start by gathering the information you need for your request. The more details you provide, the faster staff can locate your records. Include dates, names of people involved, case numbers if known, and the type of record you need.

Submit your request through one of these methods. The online portal works best for most people. You can track your request and pay fees without leaving home. In-person visits work well if you need records quickly or have questions about what is available. Mail requests take longer but work if you cannot use the online system.

Processing times depend on what you request. Simple Pinal County police records like accident reports may be ready in days. Complex requests involving video review take longer. Staff must watch all footage and redact protected information. Budget extra time for body camera and surveillance video requests.

Arizona Law on Police Records Access

ARS 39-121 requires public records be open for inspection during office hours. This applies to Pinal County police records held by the sheriff. You do not need to give a reason for your request or prove a connection to the case. The law covers most law enforcement records with some exceptions.

Active investigations may delay release. Records involving minors have names redacted. Personal information like home addresses gets blacked out before release. The sheriff's office follows state law and department policy when deciding what to withhold or redact.

ARS 39-129 caps video fees at $46 per hour reviewed. This limit applies to body camera footage, dash cam video, and other recordings. Crime victims are exempt from this fee for records from their own case under ARS 39-127.
