Mohave County, Arizona, has about 226,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Mohave County depends on where the incident happened: the Mohave County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Arizona Public Records Law requires of it.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Mohave County
A crime, incident or collision report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court, the jail or the prosecutor.
In Mohave County that is the Mohave County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.
The FBI's list also carries Mohave County Parks Department, Park Rangers (other agency), with a records office of its own.

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.
