24 Hour Booking Rules in Utah

Utah law sets clear rules for how fast arrests must be processed. Under the Utah Rules of Criminal Procedure, probable cause statements for arrests without a warrant must be reviewed within 24 hours. District court judges review these statements twice each day. They do this in the morning and again in the afternoon. This applies on weekdays and weekends alike.

Once a judge reviews the probable cause statement, they make a bail decision right away. This ensures that no one stays in jail too long without a review. The 24 hour booking process protects the rights of people who are arrested in Morgan County and across the state.

Felony arrest warrants can be served at any time. Misdemeanor warrants have more limits. They can only be served at night if a judge has approved it, the person is in a public place, or the officer finds them during another investigation. These rules come from Utah Code Title 77, which covers criminal procedure in the state.

Note: The statewide warrants file is run by the Utah Department of Public Safety and can be searched at secure.utah.gov/warrants using a first and last name.
