Where to Find Yuma Arrest Mugshots
The city of Yuma does not run its own jail. All arrests by Yuma Police go to the Yuma County Detention Center for booking. The county sheriff takes and stores mugshots in their system. The jail is at 200 W. Court Street in Yuma, just a short distance from the police station.
The Yuma County inmate search lets you look up current inmates by name, subject number, or booking number. The search shows mugshots, charges, and bail amounts. Results appear right away for current inmates. For full details about county jail records, see the Yuma County jail mugshots page.
The county jail holds about 756 inmates at capacity. The facility processes bookings from Yuma Police, county deputies, and other agencies. Every person booked gets a mugshot taken during intake. These photos become part of the county sheriff's records.
Yuma Police Department Records
The Yuma Police Department handles incident reports and arrest documentation. The records office is at 1500 South First Avenue in Yuma. Phone: (928) 373-4700. Email: YPDRecAssist@yumaaz.gov. The office has extended hours from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, making it easier to pick up records after work.
Case reports cost $10.00 each. 911 recordings cost $25.00. Digital media runs $46 per hour of processing time. Photos cost $15.00. These are city police records, not jail mugshots. For booking photos, contact the Yuma County Sheriff's Office directly.
When requesting records, bring as much information as possible. The case number helps staff find your records quickly. If you do not have a case number, provide the date of the incident and names of people involved. The more details you give, the faster they can locate your records.
How to Request Records
Yuma Police accepts records requests in person, by mail, or by email. For in-person requests, visit the records office during business hours. Staff can often process simple requests while you wait. Larger requests or video footage takes longer.
Mail requests should go to: Yuma Police Department Records, 1500 South First Avenue, Yuma, AZ 85364. Include your contact information, what records you need, and a check or money order for the fees. The department will call if additional payment is needed.
Crime victims are entitled to one free copy of the police report under Arizona law. Bring identification and proof that you were the victim when claiming your free copy. Insurance companies and attorneys often need these reports for claims and cases.
