Reviewed and updated October 9, 2026 by the SearchSystems.net editorial team. The arrest counts are the ones each agency reported to the FBI, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026. The jail figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
Coconino County, Arizona, has about 145,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Coconino County Sheriff's Office, four city agencies and one campus agency. An arrest leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at the county jail, and, if the County Attorney files charges, a case in the Coconino County Superior Court. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts each agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies, cities and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Coconino County
The Coconino County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Coconino County. It reported 910 arrests for 2025.
Arrests inside four of the county's cities are reported to the FBI by an agency of the city's own, listed here with the Census population and what each reported:
- Flagstaff, 77,539 residents: 4,758 arrests reported for 2025.
- Page, 7,230 residents: 1,025 arrests reported for 2025.
- Williams, 3,482 residents: 175 arrests reported for 2025.
- Fredonia, 1,290 residents: 0 arrests reported for 2025.
A city on that list is reported separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
The Sedona Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Coconino County, so its arrests are not broken out for Coconino County here.
The FBI's agency list also places one more agency in Coconino County: Northern Arizona University (campus police).

Booking: Where People Arrested in Coconino County Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Coconino County and kept in custody ends up, whichever agency made the arrest, though a city department may hold someone in its own cells first and a person cited and released at the scene is never booked. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and once the person is released or sentenced the record continues in the court file.
On an average day in 2023 the jail held about 310 people, down from about 540 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2023 was 596 beds, and it ran at 52 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Coconino County
For Coconino County the place to look is Public Access to Court Information, the Arizona Judicial Branch's free statewide case search; the Maricopa and Pima county courts run their own, which shows whether charges were filed.
Arizona does not let the public search another person's statewide criminal history. The record kept by the Arizona Department of Public Safety goes to the person it belongs to and to employers and agencies the law authorizes; for everyone else the court's own case index is the public record of an arrest that led to a charge.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Coconino County
An arrest report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court or the jail. Under the Arizona Public Records Law the agency must answer promptly, with no fixed number of days in the statute, and it may charge the cost of copies, and more for commercial requests.
