Finding Someone in Custody in Eloy

SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Pinal County Sheriff's Office at app1.pinal.gov/search/inmate-search.aspx (page title: Pinal County Sheriff Inmate Search), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.
That page is the place to look for someone booked recently. A person cited and released at the scene, or held only a few hours by a city department, will not be on it.
