How to Search 24 Hour Booking in Emery County
There are a few ways to search for Emery County 24 hour booking records. Your best bet depends on how old the record is. For current inmates, use the online roster. For past bookings, call the Sheriff or file a records request.
Online searches are the fastest method. Go to the Sheriff's site and click "Jail" then "Inmate Roster." You will see a list of all current inmates. Each entry shows the person's name, the charges against them, and the date they were booked. You can scroll through the list or use your browser's search tool to find a name. The Emery County jail roster is public and free to use. Utah law treats jail booking data as a public record under GRAMA (Utah Code 63G-2). This means anyone can ask to see it.
To search by phone, call (435) 381-2431 and ask the jail staff. Give them a full name or date of birth. They can check if a person is in custody. They may also be able to tell you about recent releases. Phone searches work well when the website is down or when you need a quick answer about a specific person in Emery County.
You can also search for active warrants in Emery County through the Utah Statewide Warrants portal. This tool is run by the Utah Department of Public Safety. It pulls warrant data from courts across the state, including Emery County courts. You need a first and last name to search.
Emery County Arrest Records and State Tools
Beyond the local jail roster, Utah offers several state tools for finding arrest and booking data. The Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI) is Utah's central hub for criminal history. BCI is part of the Department of Public Safety. Their office is at 4315 South 2700 West, Suite 1300, Taylorsville, UT 84129. You can reach them at (801) 965-4445. BCI keeps records of arrests from all counties, including Emery County.
The state also provides a screenshot of the BCI homepage, which outlines how to request records from their office.
To get your own Utah criminal history, you can visit BCI in person or send a mail request. The fee is $15.00. You must show a valid government photo ID. BCI hours are 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. For mail requests, go to bci.utah.gov and download the application form. Mail it with the fee to BCI in Salt Lake City.
The Utah Courts XChange system lets you search court records from across the state. It covers felony, misdemeanor, and infraction cases filed in Emery County courts. XChange is a subscription service, but basic case searches are possible. Court records often tie directly to booking data, since a booking leads to a court case in most instances.
Note: BCI records are separate from the Emery County jail roster and may contain a broader history of arrests statewide.
Emery County 24 Hour Booking Records Requests
If you need a copy of an Emery County booking record, you can file a GRAMA request. GRAMA stands for the Government Records Access and Management Act. It is the law that controls public access to government files in Utah. Under Utah Code 63G-2, jail booking photos and basic booking data are public records. This means you have the right to ask for them.
Send your request to the Emery County Sheriff's Office. Include the full name of the person, the date of arrest if you know it, and what records you want. The office has 10 business days to respond. Fees may apply for copies. You can submit a request by mail, in person, or through the county's records process. If your request is denied, GRAMA gives you the right to appeal.
Under Utah criminal procedure, probable cause statements for warrantless arrests must be reviewed by a judge within 24 hours. This rule applies in Emery County the same as everywhere else in Utah. District court judges review these statements twice a day, morning and afternoon, on both weekdays and weekends. This process creates a paper trail that ties into the 24 hour booking record for each arrest in Emery County.
The Utah Department of Corrections also keeps an offender search tool. It covers people under state supervision. If someone arrested in Emery County ends up in a state prison, their record will appear in that system. It does not cover local jail inmates, only those sentenced to state custody.
