La Paz County offices and records
Sheriff & Law Enforcement. La Paz County Sheriff's Office is responsible for law enforcement in the unincorporated areas of La Paz County.
Police Departments. La Paz County is served by La Paz County Sheriff's Office and municipal police departments, including the Parker Police Department and the Quartzsite Police Department.
Law Enforcement & Arrests. La Paz County Sheriff's Office is the primary law enforcement agency for unincorporated areas of La Paz County, with headquarters located at 1112 Joshua Avenue, Parker, AZ 85344. Inmate lookup services are available through the Sheriff's Office website at www.lapazcountyaz.org, where the public can search current inmates by name or booking number. Municipal law enforcement in La Paz County is limited due to the small incorporated population; the Town of Parker contracts law enforcement services through the Sheriff's Office rather than maintaining a separate police department. Quartzsite, another county in La Paz County, similarly relies on contract services and Sheriff's Office support, particularly during the winter months when the population swells dramatically due to seasonal visitors and the famous gem and mineral shows. Arrest records in La Paz County are considered public records under Arizona Revised Statutes Title 39, Chapter 1, Article 2 (Arizona Public Records Law).
Arrest Records. They are maintained by the arresting agency, primarily the County Sheriff's Office and municipal police departments.
