Davis County Quick Facts
Davis County 24 Hour Booking Inmate Roster
The Davis County Inmate Roster provides detailed booking information. You can search by name to find inmates. The roster shows first and last name, age, gender, booking number, date and time, arresting agency, housing unit, and charges. Each charge includes the state statute. This is the main tool for checking who is in the Davis County Jail right now.
Due to House Bill 228, booking photos are not on the public Davis County site. The page includes a "Terms of Use/Booking Photo Information" notice. It states there are no guarantees on the quality of displayed data. If you need a booking photo, you must file a GRAMA request through the Davis County Records page.
The Davis County Arrest Records site also compiles arrest data. It includes age and sex details for each arrest. This site pulls from the Davis County Sheriff's Office and city police departments across the county. Together, these tools give broad access to Davis County booking records.
