About City Police Background Services
City police departments in Arizona provide varying levels of background check services. Some offer fingerprinting and clearance letters. Others have stopped these services and refer residents to county sheriff offices or private providers. Fees and availability change often, so call ahead before visiting.
For statewide criminal history or a Fingerprint Clearance Card, contact the Arizona Department of Public Safety. Apply online through the DPS Public Services Portal. City police records only cover activity within that city's jurisdiction.
