The Coconino County jail roster is a public record maintained by the Coconino County Sheriff's Office in Arizona. CoconinoCourt.us can help you find publicly available information about current and recent inmates held at the Coconino County Detention Facility. You can also access roster information through the official sheriff's office website, by calling the detention facility directly, or by visiting in person. A jail roster search allows the public to look up who is currently in custody, view booking charges, and confirm an individual's detention status. The Coconino County Sheriff's Office maintains the roster and updates it as inmates are booked in or released from the detention facility in Flagstaff.
Search Current Inmates in Coconino Jail
There are several ways to search for someone currently held at the Coconino County Detention Facility.
Online Search
- Visit CoconinoCourt.us to search publicly available court and inmate information for Coconino County.
- You can also use the Arizona Public Access Case Lookup to search for court case details tied to an individual's charges.
- To request copies of police or detention reports, use the online records request form maintained by the consolidated Flagstaff Police/Coconino County Sheriff's Records Section.
To search, you will typically need:
- The individual's full legal name (first and last)
- A booking number, if known
Juvenile offenders are not listed on any public jail roster in Arizona.
By Phone

In Person
You can visit the detention facility lobby during regular business hours to inquire about a current inmate.
Find Coconino Jail Booking Records Online
A booking record is created each time an individual is processed into the Coconino County Detention Facility. During booking, jail staff record key details about the arrest and the person being held.
A typical booking record includes:
- Booking number
- Date and time of booking
- Charges at the time of intake
- Arresting agency (Coconino County Sheriff's Office, Flagstaff Police Department, Arizona DPS, tribal police, etc.)
- Personal identifiers such as name, date of birth, and physical description
Current booking information is generally available through the jail's online roster. For older or more detailed records — such as arrest reports or incident narratives — you can submit a public records request online through the consolidated Records Section that handles both Coconino County Sheriff and Detention Facility reports.
If the arrest involved the Arizona Department of Public Safety, that agency maintains its own records separately. You can file a DPS records request for incidents handled by state troopers. Note that DPS does not retain records for county or local jurisdiction arrests.
For court-side records tied to a booking — such as charging documents, case status, or scheduled hearings — search the Arizona Public Access Case Lookup or check active warrant information through the Flagstaff courts.
Search the Coconino Jail Roster by Last Name or Booking Number
The Coconino County jail roster supports two primary search methods:
Search by Last Name
- Enter the individual's last name in the search field.
- Optionally add a first name to narrow results, especially for common surnames.
- If the roster displays a browsable list rather than a search field, use your browser's built-in find function (Ctrl+F on Windows or Cmd+F on Mac) to locate a name quickly.
Search by Booking Number
If you already have a booking number — from a court document, bail bond paperwork, or a prior search — enter it directly. This returns a single, specific record and is the fastest way to pull up an inmate's information.
Tips for Better Results
- Use the individual's full legal name, not a nickname or alias.
- Double-check spelling. A single wrong letter can cause a search to return zero results.
- If partial name searches are supported, try entering just the first few letters of the last name.
- If a search returns no results, the person may have already been released, transferred, or booked under a different name variation. Call the detention facility at (928) 679-7000 to verify.
Jail Roster Updates and Search Limitations in Coconino
The Coconino County jail roster is updated on a rolling basis as inmates are booked in and released. However, there can be a delay between the time someone is physically booked and when their record appears online. Processing, data entry, and system syncing can all contribute to a lag — sometimes several hours.
Key limitations to keep in mind:
- Booking delay: A newly arrested individual may not appear on the roster immediately. If you don't find someone right away, check again later or call the facility.
- Release removal: Once an inmate is released, their record is typically removed from the active roster. The online roster reflects current custody status, not a historical archive.
- Transfers: Inmates transferred to another facility (state prison, federal custody, or another county) will no longer appear on the Coconino roster.
- Data accuracy: The roster is an informational tool, not a certified legal record. The Arizona Judicial Branch and the Coconino County Superior Court maintain official case records.
- Restricted records: Certain bookings — particularly those involving juveniles, sealed cases, or sensitive investigations — will not appear on the public roster.
For historical booking information or certified copies of jail records, contact the Records Section directly or submit a formal public records request. Records beyond what the online roster shows may require additional processing time and may be subject to applicable fees.
