Goodyear Released Inmate Records

Released inmate records in Goodyear come from two main sources. The Goodyear Police Department keeps arrest records and booking data for local cases. However, inmates arrested in Goodyear are held at Maricopa County jail facilities in Phoenix. When you need to find someone who was released from custody after a Goodyear arrest, you often have to check both the city police records and the county jail system. The Goodyear Police Records Unit handles requests for police reports, arrest history, and related documents. They can also point you in the right direction if you need help tracking down released inmate information from Maricopa County.

Goodyear Police Records for Released Inmates

The Goodyear Police Department maintains arrest records for all bookings made by GYPD officers. These records include arrest reports, incident reports, and booking information. When someone is arrested in Goodyear, police create a case file that stays with the department. The actual jail time happens at a Maricopa County facility. So the police records show the arrest side. The county records show the custody and release side.

You can request Goodyear police records through the GYPD Records Request page. The process is simple. Fill out a request form. Pay the fees. Wait for your documents. Most requests are ready in 5 to 10 business days. Rush requests may be possible for an extra fee. The records staff can tell you what is available for your case in Goodyear.

Goodyear police records include arrest reports, incident reports, calls for service logs, photos, and body camera footage. Not all of these are free. Fees vary by what you need. Some records may be redacted to protect witness names, victim info, or ongoing investigations in Goodyear. Arizona law under A.R.S. Section 39-121 gives you the right to inspect public records during office hours. This includes police records in Goodyear.

Goodyear Released Inmate Records Fees

The Goodyear Police Department charges fees for copies of records. These fees help cover the cost of staff time and materials. You pay when you pick up your records or before they mail them out. Credit cards, cash, and money orders are accepted at the records window in Goodyear.

Here is the fee schedule for Goodyear police records:

• Reports: $0.50 per page
• Digital Media CD or DVD: $10.00
• Photo prints: $10.00 per print
• Body Camera Redaction: $46.00 per hour
• Fingerprint Services: $17.00

Body camera footage in Goodyear takes longer to process than paper records. Staff must review the video and redact faces, license plates, and other protected information. This takes time. The $46 per hour fee covers that work. If your video is one hour long, expect to pay $46 just for the redaction work on top of the media fee. Large requests with lots of video can add up fast in Goodyear.

Note: Victims of certain crimes may be entitled to one free copy of the police report under Arizona law.

Arizona State Records for Goodyear Released Inmates

Some people arrested in Goodyear end up serving time in Arizona state prison. State prison is different from county jail. The Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry handles state prison records. Their online database covers releases from 1985 to today. You can search it for free.

The ADCRR Inmate Data Search lets you look up current and former state prison inmates from anywhere in Arizona, including those who lived in Goodyear before incarceration. Search by name or ADC number. Filter by status to find released inmates. The database shows mugshots, physical details, admission dates, and estimated release dates. It does not show date of birth to prevent identity theft.

The ADCRR database is separate from Maricopa County jail records. If someone from Goodyear went to state prison for a felony conviction, their release information will be in the state system. If they only served time in county jail for a misdemeanor or while awaiting trial, the records are with Maricopa County instead. Goodyear police records cover the arrest, but not the custody period at either level.

Maricopa County Jail Records for Goodyear Arrests

Goodyear does not have its own jail for holding inmates long term. When Goodyear police arrest someone, that person goes to a Maricopa County jail facility in Phoenix. This means released inmate information for Goodyear arrests often sits in the county system, not with the city police.

The MCSO Inmate Info portal lets you search for current and recently released inmates from any Maricopa County jail. This includes people arrested in Goodyear. You can search by name or booking number. The system shows custody status, release dates, and basic booking details. Results may include people from Goodyear who have already been released.

For more details on Maricopa County jail records, visit our Maricopa County released inmates page. That page covers how to contact MCSO, how to file records requests, and what information is available for inmates held in county facilities. Since Goodyear is in Maricopa County, those resources apply to Goodyear cases too.

The Sheriff's Inmate Management System line is 602-876-0322. Call that number to ask about anyone held in Maricopa County custody, including people arrested in Goodyear. Staff can tell you if someone is still in jail, when they were released, or if they have a hold from another agency. The line is open around the clock.

Goodyear Court Records for Released Inmates

Court records add more detail to released inmate searches. When someone is arrested in Goodyear and charged with a crime, the case goes through the court system. Municipal cases go to Goodyear Municipal Court. More serious cases go to Maricopa County Superior Court in Phoenix. Court files show the charges, plea, verdict, and sentence.

The Arizona Courts Case Lookup covers most courts in the state. You can search by name or case number to find criminal cases tied to Goodyear arrests. The results show what happened in court, which helps you understand why someone was held and when they got out. This fills in gaps that jail records alone do not cover.

Arizona law under A.R.S. Section 39-121.01 says any person may request copies of public records during regular office hours. Court records on criminal cases are generally public unless sealed by a judge. If you cannot find a case online, contact the clerk of court directly for help with Goodyear criminal cases.

Victim Notification for Goodyear Released Inmates

VINE is a free service that tells you when an inmate is released. It covers jails and prisons across Arizona, including Maricopa County facilities where Goodyear inmates are held. You can sign up to get phone calls, text messages, or emails when custody status changes.

Go to the Arizona VINE system to register for alerts. Search for the inmate by name. Pick how you want to be notified. When that person is released from custody, you find out right away. This works for Goodyear arrests that lead to Maricopa County jail time. A toll-free phone line is open 24 hours a day with live operators in over 190 languages.

ADCRR also has a Victim Services office for state prison releases. If the person from Goodyear went to state prison, you can file a Post-Conviction Notification Request form. This gets you written notice at least 15 days before release plus a phone call on the day it happens. Call 602-542-1853 or toll-free 866-787-7233 to reach ADCRR Victim Services.
