Pima County, Arizona, has about 1.1 million residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Pima County depends on where the incident happened: the Pima 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.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Pima County
The report of an incident is released by the agency that took it; the court and the jail hold their own records of the same event, but not the report.
In Pima County that is the Pima 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 the Tucson Airport Authority (other agency) and the University of Arizona and Pima Community College (campus police), each with a records office of its own.

The Pima County Sheriff's Office is the county agency; it had 784 violent and 6,670 property crimes reported for 2025 and reported 7,853 arrests for 2025.
