Rigby Arrest Records: Who Makes Arrests, Where People Are Booked and How to Get the Report

Who Makes Arrests in Rigby

The FBI lists Rigby with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Rigby Police Department. It reported 151 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 Jefferson County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 165 arrests for 2025.

How Many Arrests Rigby Reports

Each agency reports its arrests to the FBI by month, and the FBI publishes them 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.

• Rigby: 151 for 2025, 160 for 2024, 98 for 2023, 75 for 2022, 84 for 2021 and 66 for 2020.

Rigby's 151 arrests in 2025 were down 5.6 percent from 160 in 2024.

Through June 2026, Rigby reported 59 arrests, against 77 in the same months of 2025.

Across Jefferson County, the two agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 316 arrests between them.

Booking: Where People Arrested in Rigby Are Held

A person kept in custody after an arrest in Rigby 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 2019 the jail held about 100 people. Its rated capacity in 2019 was 135 beds, and it ran at 75 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Rigby

Whether someone was arrested in Rigby, and what came of it, shows up in two places: the case index of the Jefferson County District Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at jcgov.us/212/Courts, phone 888-588-2328); the Prosecuting Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at jcgov.us/238/Prosecuting-Attorney, phone 208-745-5888).

Statewide, iCourt Portal is the Idaho courts' free statewide case search.

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 Rigby

The report of an arrest is released by the agency that made it; the jail and the court hold their own records of the same event, but not the report. 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.
