The city of Glendale is located about 10 miles northwest of Phoenix, AZ with a population of around 250,000 people.  Glendale is home to two major sports teams, including the Arizona Cardinals (NFL) who play their home games in State Farm Stadium as well as the Arizona Coyotes (NHL) who play in Gila River Arena.  Both stadiums anchor the Westgate Entertainment District off the 101 and Glendale Avenue. With sports venues, concerts, and plenty of bars, restaurants and shopping, this is a very vibrant area and considered to be the entertainment hub of Glendale.  

While crime rates have been decreasing over the past several years in Glendale, they are still slightly higher than the national average and slightly higher than surrounding cities as well. With sporting events, concerts and other entertainment in the city, we see a fair number of alcohol and DUI related violations as well disorderly conduct and assault violations occurring both during and after games and concerts.

If you were cited and/or arrested for a criminal violation by the Glendale Police Department, you will likely be appearing in the Glendale City Court (for misdemeanor violations).  The courthouse is located at:  5711 W. Glendale Avenue just adjacent to the Police Department.  If you are being charged with a felony crime by Glendale Police, your case will most likely be filed in the Maricopa County Superior Court.
