Finding Someone in Custody in Apache County
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Apache County is held at the county jail, run by the Apache County Sheriff's Office, whichever agency made the arrest.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Apache County Sheriff's Office at apachecounty.citizenrims.com (page title: Apache County Inmate Search | CitizenRIMS), 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.
The Apache County Jail by the Numbers
On an average day in 2021 the jail held about 69 people, down from about 110 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2019, the last year with a capacity figure, was 160 beds, and it ran at 68 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
