Find Gilbert Busted Mugshots
Gilbert busted mugshots come from Maricopa County Sheriff's Office detention facilities where all arrestees from this rapidly growing town of nearly 289,000 residents get booked and photographed, as Gilbert Police Department handles arrests but relies entirely on county jail systems for detention operations and booking photo services. The Gilbert Police Department Records Section at 75 East Civic Center Drive operates Monday through Thursday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM on a compressed workweek schedule and maintains police reports and arrest documentation through the JustFOIA portal at gilbertpoliceaz.justfoia.com, but actual Gilbert busted mugshots are captured at MCSO intake facilities and must be searched through Maricopa County portals at mcso.org/Mugshot or the Inmate Information system. You can request Gilbert police records for $5 per report, 911 audio for $10, body worn camera footage for $46 per video-hour, and local criminal history reports for $5, but these city police records don't include booking photos which remain in county detention records accessible through MCSO public records channels at PublicRecords@mcso.maricopa.gov or by visiting 550 W. Jackson Street in Phoenix.
Search Gilbert Busted Mugshots Online
Gilbert Police make arrests throughout the town. Maricopa County Sheriff handles booking. When Gilbert officers arrest someone, they transport that person to an MCSO jail facility for processing. The Intake, Transfer, and Release center processes every Maricopa County arrest including all Gilbert bookings, creating a centralized system for detention and mugshot photography.
To search for Gilbert busted mugshots, use MCSO online portals rather than Gilbert Police systems. Visit mcso.org/Mugshot to browse recent bookings chronologically. Use the Inmate Information portal to search by booking number or by name plus date of birth in YYYYMMDD format. Both tools are free. No registration is required. These portals show current inmates and recent releases from all Maricopa County communities including Gilbert.
The MCSO portals were modified following the September 2024 Houston v. Maricopa County federal court ruling. They removed certain personal details like birthdates, height, weight, and physical descriptors from public view. They added arresting agency information so you can see which police department made the arrest. The mugshot photo itself remains visible along with the person's name, booking number, charges, and bond amount.

Gilbert as Southeast Valley Community
Gilbert sits in the southeast portion of the Phoenix metropolitan area. The town has grown rapidly from agricultural roots to become Arizona's fourth-largest municipality with nearly 289,000 residents. Gilbert technically remains a town rather than a city due to its charter structure, though its size exceeds many Arizona cities.
Despite substantial population growth, Gilbert still relies on Maricopa County for jail operations. This partnership reflects standard practice where municipalities handle patrol and investigation while counties operate courts and detention facilities. The arrangement allows efficiency rather than duplicating expensive jail infrastructure in every community.
Gilbert Police Department serves the town's large population and sprawling suburban territory. All arrests flow through the county detention system for booking. This creates a unified repository for Gilbert busted mugshots alongside booking photos from Mesa, Chandler, and other East Valley communities that all use MCSO facilities.
Nearby Maricopa County Cities
Gilbert borders several other major East Valley municipalities. Chandler runs along Gilbert's western edge. Mesa sits to the northwest. Queen Creek lies to the southeast. All these communities book arrestees into the same Maricopa County jail system.
The Maricopa County page provides comprehensive information about MCSO detention facilities, online mugshot portals, and records request procedures that apply to Gilbert and all surrounding Phoenix metropolitan area communities.
Note: Gilbert's rapid growth and large population mean significant arrest volume, but the booking process remains identical to other Maricopa County municipalities - all use MCSO for detention and mugshot photography.
