Arrest Records in Box Elder County
An arrest in Box Elder County can begin with the Sheriff's Office, a city police department, or the Utah Highway Patrol. Brigham City, Tremonton-Garland, Perry, Willard, and Mantua have local police channels identified in county research. The arresting agency writes the incident or arrest report. If the person enters the county jail, booking staff then create a separate custody record. A judge may add probable-cause and bail records, but a prosecutor and clerk create a court case only when charges are filed.
These files can differ without any one of them being false. Jail staff enter the charges presented at intake. A prosecutor may reject, add, reduce, or amend them after review. Court clerks record each filed count and its later result. Fingerprint-supported arrest data can also reach the Utah Department of Public Safety, Bureau of Criminal Identification, or BCI, for the Utah Computerized Criminal History file. The safest reading fixes each fact to its source and date.
Box Elder Booking Desk by Phone
Box Elder County states that its jail roster is not online. For current custody, call Booking at 435-734-3800 at any hour and follow the prompts. Direct county numbers also list 435-734-3839 for Booking and 435-734-3838 for the jail commander or booking support. Have the full name and an approximate arrest or booking date ready. Ask whether the person is housed, released, or transferred, then ask about current booking charges, bail, the arresting agency, and the likely court.
The official jail contact and visitation page also explains the service channels used by people in custody.
That source helps confirm the jail as a live contact point, not a public historical arrest database. A caller should state the date and scope of any custody answer because a released person may no longer appear in a present-custody inquiry.
Box Elder County Arrest Lookups
No single Box Elder County tool covers every arrest source. Start with the channel that matches the time period and record type, then use the next source to confirm what happened after intake. This order keeps a current-custody question from being mistaken for a full history.
- Call county Booking for present custody, current booking charges, bail, and transfer or release status. Give a full name and approximate booking date.
- Contact the arresting agency for its incident or arrest report. Use sheriff Records at 435-734-3822 for sheriff files and the named city department for city files.
- Search Utah Courts Xchange after charges may have been filed. Confirm Box Elder County, the court, defendant role, filing date, and the outcome of each count.
- For a statewide fingerprint-supported self-review, use the BCI Utah Criminal History Right of Access process. Utah offers no unrestricted public name search of UCCH.
- Submit a GRAMA request for historical sheriff booking material or records not routinely supplied by phone. Ask the correct city or state agency when it created the report.
BCI self-review requires fingerprints on its application or a ten-print card, plus the required identification. A law-enforcement agency may take the prints, and BCI also offers fingerprinting at its Taylorsville office. Call a Box Elder County law-enforcement office first to confirm local availability, hours, identification, and fees.
A filed case can be followed through the Box Elder County court case lookup, but the case file does not replace the officer narrative or jail record.
Request Box Elder Arrest Reports
Box Elder County Sheriff's Records and GRAMA Requests share 435-734-3822. A strong request names the agency and record type, gives the incident or booking number when known, and adds the approximate date, time, and location. It should also state whether inspection or an electronic copy is preferred. Ask for a cost estimate, especially for media or a large file. The records office is at 52 S 1000 W, P.O. Box 888, Brigham City, UT 84302. Call before visiting to confirm counter hours, identification, payment, and storage location.

Under Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act, a report may mix public content with protected investigative facts, juvenile data, medical details, personal identifiers, or victim-sensitive material. Redaction does not mean the whole report is missing. Ordinary response rules are generally ten business days, or five when an expedited-benefit basis is shown, subject to extraordinary circumstances and the current agency notice.
Arrest Records: What They Contain
A Box Elder County arrest report and a jail booking record overlap, but they serve different jobs. The report may describe the legal basis, alleged event, evidence, witnesses, transport, and warrant or citation. Booking focuses on identity, intake, custody, bail, and release. Protected details should be removed before public disclosure.
| Record number | An incident, report, case, or booking number used to locate and distinguish the file. |
|---|---|
| Date and place | The event, arrest, intake, and release dates or times, plus the reported location when releasable. |
| Arresting agency | The sheriff, city police department, Utah Highway Patrol, or other agency that made the arrest. |
| Alleged charges | The offense or statute recorded by the agency or entered at booking before prosecutor review. |
| Bail and status | The current bail amount or release conditions, housing status, release, or transfer recorded by the jail. |
| Intake identifiers | Identity data, fingerprints, property inventory, and a booking image, subject to access limits and redaction. |
| Related trail | Officer narrative, evidence, warrant or citation references, destination, and later court case when filed. |
Note: Private health, classification, victim, juvenile, and active-investigation details may be withheld even when other parts of the arrest file are public.
Tremonton Arrest Records Stay Local
The Box Elder County sheriff cannot supply every city police report. Tremonton-Garland Police accepts local records inquiries at 125 S 100 W, Tremonton, by phone at 435-257-9555, or through records@tremontoncity.gov. The researched process calls for a notarized request by email or an in-person request with identification. Its published fee starts at $10, with a ten-versus-fifteen-page inconsistency in the official material and $0.25 for each added page. Confirm the live amount instead of assuming which page threshold controls.
The official Tremonton Police records route shows where that city-created report must be requested.
This local path matters when Booking confirms county custody but the underlying arrest was made by Tremonton-Garland Police. Brigham City Police likewise keeps its own police records at 20 N Main, first floor, with Records reached at 435-734-6650. County research lists Perry Police at 435-723-6461, Willard Police at 435-734-9881, and Mantua Police at 435-723-7054. For a Utah Highway Patrol arrest, request the DPS-created report through the DPS records or GRAMA channel.
Recent Box Elder County Bookings
There is no official public Box Elder County booking log to browse. The county's phone-only policy means the Booking desk is the direct source for a person who may be in custody now. An agency news release can describe a notable arrest, but it is selective and should never be treated as a complete blotter. An absent news item proves nothing. So does the lack of an online name result.
Historical needs take a different path. Once a person leaves the jail, request the booking record from sheriff Records and seek the arrest report from the agency that created it. If charges were filed, Xchange may show the court trail. If no case appears, that can mean the prosecutor did not file, the case is restricted, the name search missed it, or clerk entry has not yet appeared. It does not erase the separate agency or booking file.
Trace Box Elder Arrests into Court
A Brigham City arrest shows why agency, jail, and court records must be read in sequence. First, Brigham City Police creates the report. County Booking may then record custody charges and bail. Prosecutor review determines what is filed, if anything. The clerk's entry in Utah Courts CORIS makes public case information available through Xchange. Original booking charges can therefore differ from amended counts, pleas, dismissals, and final dispositions.
The Brigham City Police contact page identifies the local agency source for its arrest reports.
After obtaining that report, compare it with the filed case rather than assuming the intake charge was the final charge. If no court case was filed, request the agency and booking records on their own terms. Xchange is a court-record system, not a public Utah rap-sheet search.
Box Elder Custody Beyond County Jail
A transfer changes the correct lookup channel. The county Booking desk answers current county-jail questions. After a sentence or transfer to state custody, use the Utah Department of Corrections Offender Search. Its scope includes state corrections and should not be read as a catalog of all Box Elder County arrests. A person may have a local arrest report or court case without ever appearing in state custody.
The official UDC Offender Search is the state-custody route.
The interface belongs at the end of a county-to-state custody trail, not at the start of every arrest search. Federal custody requires a separate federal channel, so neither county Booking nor UDC gives a complete answer after a federal transfer.
Arrest Records vs Conviction Records
An arrest documents custody or an allegation. A conviction records a court's finding of guilt. In Box Elder County, the arresting agency and jail hold the first set of files, while the filing court records pleas, rulings, dispositions, and sentences. BCI may connect fingerprint-supported arrest data with a reported disposition, but agency lag or an unmatched report can leave a gap.
| Point | Arrest record | Conviction record |
|---|---|---|
| Created by | Arresting agency and county jail | District or justice court clerk |
| Shows | Alleged conduct, intake charge, custody, and bail | Filed count, plea, disposition, and sentence |
| Proves | An arrest or booking event occurred | A court entered a guilty finding |
| May end with | Release, no filing, or transfer | Dismissal, acquittal, conviction, appeal, or expungement |
The Adult Probation and Parole information page explains the state supervision layer that may follow a court sentence.
That later supervision record does not change what the earlier arrest proved. Qualifying arrest and case records may be sealed through Utah expungement, but elapsed time alone does not establish that a record has been cleared.
Note: A Box Elder County arrest is not proof of guilt, and a booking can end without charges, by dismissal, or through acquittal.
