Mesa Jail Mugshot Search

Mesa jail mugshots are held by Maricopa County, not the city. Mesa Police arrest people, but booking happens at county jail facilities. Mesa is the third largest city in Arizona with over 500,000 residents. The city sits east of Phoenix in the Valley. This guide explains where to find booking photos for Mesa arrests and how to get police records from the city department.

Where to Find Mesa Arrest Mugshots

Mesa does not run its own jail. All arrests go to Maricopa County facilities for booking and mugshots. The MCSO keeps these booking photos in their system. Every person booked at county jails gets a photo taken during intake. These photos become part of the county sheriff's permanent records.

The Maricopa County inmate search covers all arrests from Mesa and surrounding cities. You can search by name or booking number for free. Results show the mugshot, charges, and custody status. The MCSO mugshot page offers another way to look up booking photos.
