About Arizona Open Public Record
Arizona's 'open state' public records law that has been in existence for over 100 years and mandates all public records be open to inspection. The Arizona Public Records Law is a series of statutes that describe public access to government information and that make government agencies accountable to the public by granting a right of access to records. There are some documents that are exempt from the public records law which include documents that would breach an individual's privacy or interfere in an ongoing investigation. Some examples of exemptions are research documents, student records, sealed court documents, medical records, and active criminal investigations. There are 15 counties in the state of Arizona and 91 incorporated cities and towns. The oldest, Tucson was incorporated in 1877 and the newest, Tusayan in 2010. Arizona's government is the state's largest employer with statewide and local agencies, various departments and divisions. The Arizona Department of Public Safety provides criminal history searches from the central repository.

Where can I find out in Arizona, if there are any warrants for my arrest?
There are only 15 counties in Arizona (unless you're looking in other states), you can go to the county webpages individually, look for the law enforcement agency for that area and enter their site to look for their warrants page, sometimes called fugitives, wanted or other similar names. This is true for areas such as Maricopa, but in Mohave the county's judicial branch has the warrants list. These pages aren't marketed to get customers, so finding them will take some looking.

Where can I find in Arizona, a copy of a police report made on July 23, 2015?

Finding public records is about looking them up where they are, as they are scattered all over the net. Public records are generally provided by government agencies which do not have strong incentives to incur business, they tend to offer services to satisfy the law and public requests, not marketed to attract new customers. Fortunately, many government sites see the value in having online services which saves them time and staff.
There may be few departments, or in some cases, just one public entity which has the official report you are looking for. However, if you are solely seeking information for personal use, you can look to unofficial or government sites such as reports in periodicals.

Where can I find in Arizona, how long before a DUI can be redacted, removed from records available to public?
Having your record redacted and having it removed from public view are two different issues that are addressed separately. How to redact your current record has a process which is sometimes spelled out on various judicial websites based on the location. The process depends on the court, so for one to know specifically, you'd have to look into that particular court's rules. Removing that information from public view is not automatic after the record is redacted. Your record may have circulated and is already in the "internet world". Since people looking for records don't care if it's old, they are still interested in retrieving the information. This poses a serious challenge for many that have expunged records to clear their past. There are private services which look to find your information and try to correct it. Or you can do it yourself. Many sites which provide public records with have instructions and even the form to remove you from their data. You may have to show proof or go through a process in order to remove yourself from their data in efforts to curtail fraudulent attempts in removing legitimate information. Your record may have a life of it's own. Public record providers which you find may not be the only place which your information may appear. New sites pop up without notice which can also have the information from an older database. You may need to be pro-active in looking and removing your information for a long time to come. The amount of work, time and expense it will take to remove personal data and its success depends on each individual case. Fortunately, a lot of the looking and work can be done online at home. The purpose is important also, for employment screening, background checks are a main concern, while reputation of an independent contractor can be based on information found outside a typical background search.

Where can I find in Arizona, why someone was arrested and where it happened?
You can look up the arresting law enforcement's site, whether police or sheriffs departments. Many law enforcement sites will have an inmate search or jail/custody list of persons recently arrested. Some jail lists also known as booking information can go back a week or more. Law enforcement departments also have procedures in which the public can request official arrest reports. Their website will show how to make the request as well as provide the forms online and where to submit them. These records are considered public information, there are exceptions, but many individuals, attorneys and others request this type of record. Much of the data found online inmate searches would not show the same as requesting an arrest report. The information with an online query may suffice and the full arrest report may not be necessary. Using online inmate query can show arrest date, place, charges, custody status, photo in some instances and more.
