Murray Quick Facts
How 24 Hour Booking Works in Murray
When the Murray Police Department makes an arrest, the person is transported to the Salt Lake County Jail for booking. The booking process includes recording personal details, taking a photograph, and logging all charges. This happens around the clock. Under Utah law, a judge must review the probable cause statement within 24 hours of a warrantless arrest. District court judges check these statements twice per day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, on both weekdays and weekends.
The Salt Lake County Jail is one of the largest jail systems in the state. It serves all cities within Salt Lake County, including Murray. The jail's mission is to protect the public through the booking and detention of individuals. Murray arrests are logged in the same county system used for all Salt Lake County bookings.
A documented arrest review must happen before any booking into an official detention facility. The arresting officer completes this review. If force was used during the arrest, a sergeant or other supervisor is called to the scene to review the situation before the person is taken to the jail.
Note: Bail determinations are made right after a judge confirms probable cause for Murray 24 hour booking cases.
Murray 24 Hour Booking Record Search
You can search for Murray booking records through the Salt Lake County inmate roster. The roster lets you look up inmates by name, booking number, permanent number, or state ID. Each result shows gender, age, weight, race, hair color, eye color, arrest charges, and bail amounts. The booking date is listed, but the exact booking time is not shown on the public site.
Salt Lake County does not display booking photos on its public website. This helps prevent misuse of images on predatory websites. If you need a booking photo for a Murray arrest, you must submit a GRAMA request to the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office or the Murray Police Department.

Murray Booking Records Through GRAMA
The Government Records Access and Management Act, known as GRAMA, governs how you can get booking records in Murray. Under Utah Code Title 63G, Chapter 2, arrest warrants after issuance are public records. Search warrants after execution are also public. A jail booking photograph is a record under GRAMA and is presumed to be public because it is not specifically exempted.
Murray City accepts GRAMA requests for police records. You can submit your request to the Murray Police Department or the Murray City Recorder's Office. Be specific about what you need. Include the name of the person, any case numbers you know, and the dates of the incident. The more detail you provide, the faster the response.
GRAMA was designed to balance the public's right to access information about government activity with the privacy rights of individuals. The law favors public access when the competing interests are of equal weight. This means most Murray 24 hour booking records are available to anyone who asks through the proper channels.
Note: The standard GRAMA response time is 10 business days, but simple requests for Murray booking records may come back sooner.
Statewide Tools for Murray Arrest Lookups
Several state resources help you find booking and arrest data beyond the county jail roster. The Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification serves as the central repository for criminal history information in Utah. BCI is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM at 4315 South 2700 West, Suite 1300, in Taylorsville. You can request your own Utah criminal record for a fee of $20.
The Utah Statewide Warrants Search lets you check for active warrants throughout the state.

Keep in mind that this system depends on timely entry and removal of records by the courts.

Murray 24 Hour Booking and Utah Law
Utah criminal procedure sets clear rules for arrests and bookings that apply to Murray. Under Utah Code Title 77, an arrest on a felony warrant can happen at any time of day or night. A misdemeanor warrant arrest at night requires special endorsement from a magistrate, unless the person is on a public highway, in a public place, or encountered by an officer during an unrelated investigation.
The 24 hour booking review rule comes from the Utah Rules of Criminal Procedure. Rule 7(c)(1) states that probable cause statements for warrantless arrests must be reviewed electronically within 24 hours. Judges review these statements twice daily to meet this deadline. If the judge finds probable cause, a bail determination follows right away.
Murray Police Department officers follow these same rules. Every arrest must have a documented review before the person enters the Salt Lake County Jail. The booking process creates a permanent record that includes personal information, charges, and the arresting agency. These records become part of the public record system in Murray and Salt Lake County.
Criminal penalties and civil liability can result from unlawful use of criminal records. Under Utah Code 53-10-108, access to BCI records is restricted to certain entities for specific purposes. However, booking records at the county level remain broadly accessible to the public through the inmate roster and GRAMA requests.
Note: Daytime hours under Utah law are 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Nighttime hours are after 10:00 PM and before 6:00 AM.
