Riverton Quick Facts
Riverton 24 Hour Booking Process
After an arrest in Riverton, the person is taken to the Salt Lake County Jail for booking. The jail operates around the clock and processes people from every city in the county. During booking, staff record the person's name, date of birth, physical description, and all charges. A photograph is taken and a booking number is assigned.
Utah law requires a probable cause review within 24 hours of any warrantless arrest. This rule applies to all Riverton arrests. District court judges check probable cause statements twice each day, in the morning and in the afternoon, including weekends. Once the judge confirms probable cause, a bail determination is made right away.
The arresting officer must complete a documented arrest review before booking. If force was used at any point during the Riverton arrest, a supervisor must come to the scene and review the situation. This step is required before the person can be taken to the jail for processing.
Search Riverton 24 Hour Booking Records
The Salt Lake County inmate roster is the main tool for finding Riverton booking records. You can search by name, booking number, permanent number, or state ID. Results show gender, age, weight, race, hair and eye color, charges, and bail amounts. The booking date appears in the results, though the booking time does not.
Salt Lake County does not show booking photos on the public website. This policy protects people from having their images appear on predatory sites. If you need a booking photo from a Riverton arrest, you can file a GRAMA request with the county.
Riverton booking records can also be found through state-level tools. The Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification maintains criminal history records for the entire state. You can get a copy of your own criminal record by visiting BCI in person or by mail. The fee is $20 for a Utah criminal history check.

Riverton Booking Records and GRAMA
Under the Government Records Access and Management Act, most Riverton 24 hour booking records are public. GRAMA (Utah Code Title 63G, Chapter 2) classifies arrest warrants after issuance as public records. Search warrants after execution are also public. Booking photographs are presumed public because they are not specifically exempted under the law.
You can request Riverton booking records from the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office. The Civil Unit at the Sheriff's Office Building, located at 3365 South 900 West in Salt Lake City, handles document requests. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Fees apply for copies. Paperwork within Utah costs $22.50, and paperwork from outside Utah costs $27.50.
GRAMA balances public access with individual privacy. The law says that when the public interest and the privacy interest are equal in weight, access should be granted. Most booking data from Riverton falls on the public side of that balance. Criminal charges, booking dates, and case outcomes are all available to anyone who submits a proper records request.
Riverton Warrants and Court Records

The system covers all courts in Utah, not just Salt Lake County.
Court records from Riverton cases go through the Third Judicial District Court, which covers Salt Lake County. The Utah Courts XChange portal provides felony, misdemeanor, and infraction records from the district courts. The system is updated weekly with new filing and disposition data.

When an officer in Riverton requests a warrant through the UCJIS system, it selects one of the on-call judges automatically and provides the judge's contact information.
Note: Accuracy depends on timely entry and removal of records by the courts, so always verify warrant information directly.
