What the Arizona Public Records Law Requires
Under the Arizona Public Records Law the agency must answer a request promptly, with no fixed number of days in the statute, and it may charge the cost of copies, and more for commercial requests. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at mohave.gov/common-links/request-public-records (page title: Request Public Records | Mohave County).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the County Attorney, (928) 753-0719, handles discovery for pending cases.
