Maricopa City Mugshot Records
Maricopa city busted mugshots come from Pinal County Sheriff's Office facilities where all arrestees from this rapidly growing city of over 76,000 residents south of Phoenix get booked, though online inmate search functions remain paused following the September 2024 Houston v. Maricopa County federal court ruling that prompted PCSO to suspend public web access to booking photos pending legal clarification. The city of Maricopa sits entirely within Pinal County despite sharing the same name as the larger neighboring county, creating occasional confusion but meaning all Maricopa city arrests book into Pinal County detention in Florence rather than Maricopa County facilities. You must now request Maricopa city busted mugshots through formal records requests to PCSO Records Unit at 971 N. Jason Lopez Circle, Building C, Florence, AZ 85132, calling (520) 866-5193 Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, or submitting requests through their online portal at pinal.gov/1107/Records-Unit with fees of $7.50 for police reports up to 25 pages plus additional per-page charges, accepting payment only by money order or business check since Pinal County does not handle cash for records transactions.
Maricopa City vs Maricopa County
The city of Maricopa sits in Pinal County, not Maricopa County. This creates frequent confusion. The city takes its name from the indigenous Maricopa people. The county uses the same name. But geographically, the city of Maricopa lies entirely within Pinal County boundaries south of the Phoenix metro area.
For Maricopa city busted mugshots, this means using Pinal County systems, not Maricopa County. Pinal County Sheriff provides law enforcement services through contract with the city. PCSO operates detention facilities in Florence where all Maricopa city bookings occur. The online inmate search previously available is now paused. You must request records formally through PCSO channels.
