Prescott Valley Quick Facts
Prescott Valley Town Clerk Records
The Town of Prescott Valley keeps public records that help you find data about local residents. The town clerk public records page tells you how to ask for documents from any town department. Staff handle requests from the clerk's office, police, code enforcement, and other divisions. You can get many types of records through one central process.
Prescott Valley uses the JustFOIA system for public records requests. This is a third-party platform that makes it easy to submit and track your requests online. You create an account, fill out the form, and wait for a response. The system sends you updates by email as your request moves through review. Many Arizona cities use JustFOIA because it works well for both staff and the public.
The Prescott Valley JustFOIA portal lets you submit public records requests online from any device.
The portal shows all your past requests and their current status in one place.
Response times vary based on what you ask for. Simple requests often get done in a few days. Complex requests that need review or involve many pages take longer. The town follows Arizona public records law under A.R.S. 39-121, which says records must be open to any person during office hours. Staff must respond promptly or the request is deemed denied. If you need help, call the town clerk or send an email through their website.
Prescott Valley Magistrate Court Records
The Prescott Valley Magistrate Court handles traffic tickets and minor crimes within town limits. Court records show people who have cases in the system. These records are public under Arizona Supreme Court Rule 123. You can search for Prescott Valley residents through their court history if they have had a case filed here.
To get court records, you need to submit a request through the magistrate court records request page. The minimum clerk fee is $17.00 per request. This fee covers the cost of staff time to find and prepare your records. Copy fees add $0.50 per page on top of that base fee. So a 20-page record would cost $17.00 plus $10.00 for a total of $27.00.
The court processes thousands of cases each year. Most are traffic violations like speeding, running red lights, or driving without a license. Criminal cases at this level include petty theft, minor drug charges, disorderly conduct, and similar offenses. Each case file has the defendant's name and last known address. This makes court records useful for the Prescott Valley residents directory when you need to verify if someone has a local court history.
Note: Some court records may be sealed or restricted by law, especially cases involving juveniles or domestic violence protective orders.
Prescott Valley Police Records
The Prescott Valley Police Department keeps records of incidents, arrests, and investigations within town limits. Police records can help you find information about Prescott Valley residents who have been involved in reported incidents. You request police records through the same JustFOIA system the town clerk uses.
Police reports contain details that help with residents directory searches. Reports list names of parties involved, witnesses, and sometimes victims. They show addresses, dates, and what happened. Arrest records have booking information, charges filed, and case numbers. Not all reports are public though. Ongoing investigations stay sealed. Reports involving juveniles are protected. Some victim information gets redacted for privacy.
Traffic crash reports work differently. Arizona uses a statewide system for collision reports. Most police agencies send their crash data to CrashDocs.org or BuyCrash.com. You can look up crashes by date, location, or driver names. The reports cost a small fee to download. This is faster than going through the public records request process for accidents.
Body camera footage is available but costs more. The standard rate in Arizona is $46.00 per hour of video reviewed. Staff must watch the footage to redact protected content before release. This takes time and adds to the cost. If you need body camera video, be ready for higher fees and longer wait times.
