Chubbuck, Idaho, in Bannock County, has about 17,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and its arrests are reported to the FBI by an agency of its own. An arrest in the city leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at the county jail, and, if the Prosecuting Attorney files charges, a case in the Bannock County District Court. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts the agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Chubbuck
The FBI lists Chubbuck with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Chubbuck Police Department. It reported 462 arrests for 2025. A city is listed separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
Outside the city, the Bannock County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 542 arrests for 2025.
How Many Arrests Chubbuck Reports
The FBI publishes every agency's monthly arrest counts on the Crime Data Explorer. These are the full-year totals, all offenses, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026; a year with months missing or not reported is left out.
- Chubbuck: 462 for 2025, 597 for 2024, 573 for 2023, 474 for 2022, 524 for 2021 and 638 for 2020.

Across Bannock County, the three agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 3,536 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Chubbuck Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Chubbuck is held at the county jail, whichever agency made the arrest, apart from the short stay some city departments' own holding cells allow; a person cited and released at the scene is not booked at all. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and the court file takes over from there.
On an average day in 2023 the jail held about 270 people, up from about 260 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2023 was 314 beds, and it ran at 86 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Bannock County Sheriff's Office at bannockcounty.gov/jail-roster (page title: Jail Roster | Bannock County), phone 208-236-7111, Monday - Thursday 7:00 a.m - 6:00 p.m, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 28, 2026.
That page is the place to look for someone who was booked recently; a person cited and released at the scene, or held only a few hours by a city department, will not be on it.

Idaho is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: name-based conviction checks are open to the public, through the Idaho State Police Bureau of Criminal Identification. That record shows what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Chubbuck
An arrest report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court or the jail. Under the Idaho Public Records Act the agency must answer within 3 working days, or 10 when more time is needed, and it may charge copying after the first 100 pages and labor after the first two hours.
