Bountiful, Utah, in Davis County, has about 45,000 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 County Attorney files charges, a case in the District Court for Davis County. 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 Bountiful
The FBI lists Bountiful with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Bountiful Police Department. It reported 794 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 Davis County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 476 arrests for 2025.
The FBI's agency list also places one more agency in Davis County: Davis Metropolitan Narcotics Strike Force (other).
How Many Arrests Bountiful 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.

Booking: Where People Arrested in Bountiful Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Bountiful and kept in custody ends up, whichever agency made the arrest, though a city department may hold someone in its own cells first and a person cited and released at the scene is never booked. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and once the person is released or sentenced the record continues in the court file.
On an average day in 2023 the jail held about 600 people, down from about 710 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2023 was 814 beds, and it ran at 73 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 Bountiful
Whether someone was arrested in Bountiful, and what came of it, shows up in two places: the case index of the District Court for Davis County, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at axaemarchives.utah.gov/solr/axaem/Subjects); the County Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at daviscountyutah.gov/attorney, phone (801) 444-9161).

Utah does not let the public search another person's statewide criminal history. The record kept by the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification goes to the person it belongs to and to employers and agencies the law authorizes; for everyone else the court's own case index is the public record of an arrest that led to a charge.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Bountiful
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.
