Navajo County, Arizona, has about 110,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). In Arizona the public criminal record is the court file, kept by the Clerk of the Superior Court; the statewide criminal history kept by the Arizona Department of Public Safety is released only to its subject and to the employers and agencies the law allows. This guide says where each record of a criminal case from Navajo County is kept and how it is seen.
This guide covers the court file, the statewide record, local arrest records, the crimes behind the records, the prosecutor, sex offender registry, records requests and common questions.

The Arizona Criminal History and Your Own Copy
The statewide criminal history kept by the Arizona Department of Public Safety is closed to the public in Arizona: it is released to its subject and to authorized employers and licensing agencies, and a member of the public uses the court's own case index instead.
To see your own record, the route is a Record Review Packet, fingerprint-based, from the Department of Public Safety. The state page SearchSystems verified for it is at azdps.gov/services/public-services-portal/records-request.

An arrest report, a booking record or a local criminal history letter comes from the agency that holds it, not from the court.
