Arrest Records in Davis County
An arrest record and a booking record document related but distinct acts. The arresting agency writes the incident or arrest report. If the person enters the Davis County Correctional Facility, jail staff create custody, intake, property, identity, bail, and booking entries. A prosecutor may later file different charges, and the court then records pleas and outcomes.
The Davis County Sheriff serves Fruit Heights, South Weber, West Point, unincorporated areas, and certain federal lands. City police departments create their own reports. Davis County also has Utah Highway Patrol activity. A person seeking the narrative must identify which agency made the arrest because there is no countywide pool of every city police report.
Fingerprint-supported arrest information can flow to the Utah Department of Public Safety Bureau of Criminal Identification. BCI maintains the Utah Computerized Criminal History file, but it has no public name search for another person. A subject can obtain their own statewide record through Right of Access.
Davis County Roster Refresh Limits
The Davis County inmate roster is free, requires no login, and covers current custody. Its list includes booking date, first and last name, gender, age, and a detail link. County information says the detail page refreshes every 15 minutes. The roster is informational, supplied “as is,” and is not an official legal record.
The roster may display a temporary “Something went wrong” notice while entries remain on screen. Retry the page instead of treating that message as proof that no one is in custody. The official captured roster view documents the current-search interface without republishing an arrestee’s name or image.
This browser roster is the Sheriff’s public lookup channel. No official Davis Sheriff arrest-search app was found.
Davis County Arrest Lookups
A complete Davis County arrest lookup follows the record as it moves. Start with the newest custody source, then use the creating agency, court, county request portal, or state custodian as the event ages. Phone confirmation is useful when a web result is unclear, but the office holding the original record is the final source.
- Search the current Davis County jail roster by name and open the booking detail, including bail information when shown.
- If the person is absent, identify the arresting agency and request its incident or arrest report using the report number, date, time, and location.
- Search Davis County court case records after charges are filed, then read each charge’s disposition.
- Use NextRequest for historical Sheriff material or a formal county GRAMA request.
- Check the UDC Offender Search after a transfer to state prison or when probation or parole status is relevant.
- For personal statewide history, request BCI Right of Access. BCI does not permit general public name searches of another person’s rap sheet.
Call the jail at 801-451-4200 for custody questions. The Sheriff’s main line is 801-451-4100, and 801-451-4150 routes nonemergency agency questions. A city arrest report must come from that city police department.
Current Versus Historical Davis Bookings
The jail roster answers a narrow question: who is in current Davis County custody. It is not an archive. Once a person leaves the roster, request historical Sheriff booking material through GRAMA. A complete request should specify the name, date and time, location, incident number if known, arresting agency, alleged offenses, booking destination, and exact records sought.
The official jail detail interface labels booking photographs as protected under Utah Code §17-22-30. It also notes that release dates and times are not published for safety. The captured inmate detail page shows that policy and the official record layout.
Davis County arrest searches should use the public fields without treating the page as a photo gallery. No booking photos or names are republished here.

Arrest Records: What They Contain
A Davis County arrest report may contain the incident number, date, time, place, arresting agency and officer, narrative or probable-cause account, alleged offenses, property or evidence, and booking destination. The related booking file records intake and custody facts. Public copies may redact active-investigation detail, victim information, juvenile material, and personal identifiers.
| Identity | Name and available identifying data used to match the arrested person. |
|---|---|
| Arrest event | Date, time, location, agency, officer, and incident or report number. |
| Allegations | Arrest offenses and probable-cause narrative, subject to lawful redaction. |
| Booking | Booking date, age, gender, destination, property intake, and custody entry. |
| Bail | Court-set bail details when permitted and confirmed through the official channel. |
| Evidence | Listed property or evidence when public and responsive to the request. |
| Later result | Not supplied by the arrest alone; use the filed court case for disposition. |
The arresting officer’s charge label may change when the prosecutor files the case. It may change again through amendment, plea, dismissal, trial, or sentencing.
Davis County Arresting Agency Paths
Fourteen local and state law-enforcement routes can create Davis County arrest records. The number reflects the agencies identified in the research, not fourteen interchangeable databases. Ask the right agency for its report.

The Davis County Attorney prosecutes felonies countywide, most class A misdemeanors, and unincorporated misdemeanors in county Justice Court. That routing helps explain why the arrest report, booking, filed case, and BCI cycle may sit in four offices.
Recent Davis County Bookings
The roster lists current Davis County bookings and paginates the results. It is timestamped and may change soon after release or transfer. The jail’s inmate-information page explains intake, bail, calls, messages, visits, mail, and release limits. It does not turn the current list into a long-term arrest archive.
The official Davis County inmate information page supplies the wider custody context.
The jail allows one intake contact call, secures property, and issues facility basics. Bail is set by the court and may be processed through the listed online service, a lobby kiosk, approved mail payment, a court card option, or a private bondsman without Sheriff endorsement.
Note: A missing roster entry may reflect release, transfer, spelling, a web error, or booking delay rather than proof that no arrest occurred.
After Davis County Jail Transfer
A sentenced person transferred to Utah prison no longer belongs in a county-current search. The UDC Offender Search covers current prison custody and Utah Department of Corrections probation or parole. It supports name mode, with first and last name required, or offender-number mode. It does not cover unsentenced Davis County detainees.
The official UDC search interface documents the state layer in the Davis County arrest-record chain.
For custody notification rather than a record copy, Utah VINE is available at 1-877-884-8463 and through VINELink. County roster, UDC search, and VINE serve different purposes.
Arrest Records vs Conviction Records
An arrest means an agency took a person into custody or initiated an arrest process. A conviction requires a judgment based on a plea or finding. Davis County booking data records custody, while Utah XChange and the filing court show what charges were actually filed and how each count ended.
| Point | Arrest record | Conviction record |
|---|---|---|
| Created by | Arresting agency and jail | Court after plea or finding |
| Main fact | Custody and alleged offense | Judgment on a filed charge |
| Best source | Agency report, roster, historical GRAMA file | XChange and filing clerk |
| Charge label | May reflect the initial allegation | Shows amended charge and final result |
| Proof of guilt | No | Yes, for the count resulting in conviction |
Note: A Davis County arrest is not proof of guilt; read the final disposition for every filed charge before drawing a conclusion.
Davis Sheriff Arrest Record Requests
Use NextRequest for Sheriff reports and dispatch recordings. A printed form is also available in the administrative lobby. The Sheriff requires a complete form and current government photo ID. A police or investigative report costs $10, other records cost $0.25 per page, and unusually large requests receive an estimate. Sheriff records payment is cash only.

Online requests use Davis County NextRequest.
Under Utah GRAMA, an ordinary response or denial may take up to ten working days. A denial states the reason and appeal route. Public information is open to any requester, while a victim or record subject may qualify for additional detail. BCI holds statewide fingerprint history, not the local police narrative.
A Davis County resident reviewing their own local status may also ask the Sheriff about its no-charge, in-person local letter. Current government photo identification is required. The letter can address current local warrants or proceedings for stated personal needs, but it is not an arrest-report archive or a statewide rap sheet. A full personal Utah history still uses BCI Right of Access, and the underlying incident narrative still comes from the agency that wrote it.
