Mesa Police Department Records Division

The Records Division serves as the central repository for all police reports and related records. Records produces a monthly statistical report which is sent to the FBI for tracking crime. 

Obtaining Copies of Reports

Citizens wishing to obtain a copy of a police report may request one in person or by mail. Victims of a criminal offense may receive one free copy of a report in which they are listed as the victim. (This does not include video/audio tapes or photos.)  ARS 13-4401.19 defines victim as a person against whom the criminal offense as been committed, or if the person is killed or incapacitated, the person's spouse, parent, child or other lawful representative, except if the person is in custody for the offense or is accused.

For others, the copy fee for police reports is $5.00 for the first 50 pages and $0.20 a page thereafter. Certified copies are an additional $10.00 per report.

To process a request, please use the Public Records Request form and provide a report number (if available), date, time, and location of the incident, or name(s) of the person(s) involved. Requests for copies may take 14 days or more to process, depending on the nature of the incident and if the case is still under investigation.

Requests should be mailed to:  Mesa Police Department, Records Division, 130 N. Robson, Mesa AZ 85201.  Checks should be made out to Mesa Police Department.
