Letter of Clearance
This letter will provide a local search of the Glendale Police Department arrest/criminal records only. A search of the records of any other jurisdiction (local, state or federal) is not conducted or implied. You may only obtain a Letter of Clearance on yourself. Under Arizona’s Public Records Law (A.R.S. § 39-121), Public Records Unit employees cannot provide you with information on another person's arrest record. In order to obtain a Letter of Clearance on yourself you must provide a valid government-issued photo identification card (example: Driver’s License). The cost for a Letter of Clearance is $5.00.
For a complete history check, please call the Federal Bureau of Investigation at 304.625.5590 or go to FBI.gov to obtain specific instructions for acquiring a records check.

I have requested a police Incident report, when will it be ready/is it ready yet?
Once the Record’s department receives a request for a copy of a report, it is forwarded to the Officer or Detective listed on the report as well as the division supervisor. Once the report is approved for release and redacted, Records will mail it to the requestor or call to inform the requester the report is ready for pickup. A requestor may indicate which option they prefer at the time of request.
To check on the status of a public request, please call (623) 930-3100.
I would like to speak to the Officer who took my report or the Detective assigned to my report.
You can leave a message with an Officer at (623) 930-3165. When you dial that number, after listening to the prompts it will ask you for an extension number, this number is the Officer’s Badge number. You can find the badge number on your Victims’ Rights Brochure or on paperwork received from the Officer.
To speak with the Detective assigned to your report, please call (623) 930-3000, listen to the options, and select option #2. This will take you to records. Records will then determine who is assigned to you case. Please have your report number ready and a pen/pencil and paper at hand to write down the detectives name and number we give you when you call.
