The Arizona Criminal Justice Commission's Public Information Office is committed to providing the public and the media with criminal justice information in an accurate and helpful manner. We accomplish this through our newsletter, podcasts, email outreach notifications, social media, press releases and public inquiries.
With respect to public inquiries, we are a small agency and requests will be fulfilled in the order they are received and processed.
In accordance with A.R.S. § 39-121 through 39-128 and Arizona case law, all work-related records of this Office, regardless of format, are presumed to be public records. However, various confidentiality laws and privileges may apply to certain records or parts of records.
All Public Record Requests concerning the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission should be submitted either through the online form below or downloading the form and then submitting via email to [email protected].
Please note that the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission generally does not maintain records for other agencies or personal records on individual citizens. If you are seeking records which involve another State Agency, please submit your records request directly to that agency.
If you are making a public records request with a significant amount of information, we ask that you send one email or letter outlining each item you are requesting. This will help our agency respond in a more effective and organized manner.
