Scottsdale Jail Mugshot Search

Scottsdale jail mugshots are held by Maricopa County, not the city police. Scottsdale is known for resorts, golf courses, and nightlife. The city has over 240,000 residents and stretches from the Phoenix border to the McDowell Mountains. When Scottsdale Police make arrests, booking happens at county jail facilities. This guide explains where to find mugshots and how to request police records in Scottsdale.

Where to Find Scottsdale Arrest Mugshots

Scottsdale does not run a city jail. Arrests go to Maricopa County for booking. The county sheriff takes and stores all mugshots in their system. Every person booked at county jails gets a photo taken during intake. These photos become part of the county sheriff's records.

The Maricopa County inmate search covers all Scottsdale bookings. Search by name and date of birth to find current inmates with their mugshots, charges, and bail amounts. The search is free and shows results right away. See the Maricopa County jail mugshots page for more details.

Maricopa County operates multiple jail facilities in the Phoenix metro area. Most Scottsdale arrests go to the main intake facility for processing. The system handles about 100,000 bookings per year from all agencies in the county.
