Scottsdale Jail Roster Search

Scottsdale jail roster information involves both city and county facilities. Scottsdale runs its own city jail for short sentences and work release. But most arrests go to Maricopa County jail. To find someone arrested in Scottsdale, you may need to check both systems. This page explains how Scottsdale's jail works and where to search for inmates.
