The jail can tell you if a person is being held. They provide basic booking information over the phone. This takes more time than online search, but it works around the clock.

Flagstaff vs State Prison Records
Flagstaff Police handle local arrests. Coconino County jail holds pretrial defendants and misdemeanor offenders. State prison holds felons sentenced to more than one year. Each system keeps separate records.
Search for state prison inmates at inmatedatasearch.azcorrections.gov. The county jail will not show people who transferred to state custody. Both searches are free and work around the clock.

Flagstaff Booking Process
When Flagstaff Police arrest someone, they transport the person to Coconino County detention. The booking process takes several hours. Staff collect fingerprints, photographs, and personal information. They enter the person into the jail database.
