Draper Quick Facts
Where Draper 24 Hour Bookings Are Handled
All arrests made by the Draper Police Department result in booking at the Salt Lake County Jail. The jail is run by the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office. When Draper officers make an arrest, the person is transported to the county jail where the 24 hour booking intake begins.
The booking process at the Salt Lake County Jail collects a photograph, booking number, full name, aliases, charges, age, gender, physical description, date of birth, race, emergency contact, and fingerprints. Cash and personal property are itemized and receipted. Marks and tattoos are recorded with their locations. All of this becomes part of the permanent booking record.
Draper holds a unique position in Utah because the Utah Department of Corrections headquarters is located in the city. The state corrections system is separate from the county jail. The county jail handles 24 hour bookings for new arrests. The state corrections system deals with people sentenced to prison. These are two different systems with different records.
Note: The Salt Lake County inmate search may contain test entries. Always confirm booking details through official channels for legal or personal purposes.
How to Search Draper Booking Records
The Salt Lake County inmate search is the main tool for finding 24 hour booking records from Draper arrests. You can search by name, booking number, permanent number, or state ID. Results show in groups of 30 per page. Click a name to see the full record in a new tab. An empty search loads the full inmate list.
Each inmate record shows gender, age, weight, race, hair color, eye color, arrest charges, bail amounts, and booking date. Booking time is not displayed. Each charge lists the case number and offense date. The system runs on JavaScript, so you need a current browser to use it.
Salt Lake County does not show booking photos on the public website. This protects against misuse by predatory sites. If you need a booking photo from a Draper arrest, file a GRAMA request with the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office. Photos are available for a fee.
Third-party sources like the Police Scorecard also compile publicly available data about the Draper Police Department, including arrest statistics. This can give context about policing activity in Draper but does not replace official booking records.
Draper Booking Records and GRAMA
Access to Draper booking records is governed by the Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA). This law makes jail booking photographs public records. Arrest warrants are public after issuance. Search warrants become public after execution. The law balances the public's right to know with individual privacy.
For booking records specifically, you submit a GRAMA request to the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office. For police reports and arrest reports from the Draper Police Department, you go through the city. Both follow the same state law but are handled by different offices.
- Salt Lake County booking records: GRAMA request to Sheriff
- Draper police reports: GRAMA request to Draper PD
- Standard GRAMA response: 10 business days
- Booking photos: available through GRAMA, fee applies
If a GRAMA request is denied, you can appeal. The first appeal goes to the head of the government entity. If that fails, you can take it to the State Records Committee. This process applies to both Draper city records and Salt Lake County booking records.
Note: The Utah State Archives at 346 S. Rio Grande St., Salt Lake City, provides records management guidance and GRAMA certification training for government employees who handle these requests.
