Which Agency Holds a Report from Moab
A crime, incident or collision report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court, the jail or the prosecutor.
Inside Moab that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Moab Police Department); outside it, the Grand County Sheriff's Office.

What the Government Records Access and Management Act Requires
Under the Government Records Access and Management Act the agency must answer a request within 10 business days, or 5 when the request is expedited, and it may charge copying and staff time after the first quarter hour. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at grandcountyutah.net/592/Open-Records-Request-GRAMA (page title: Open Records Request | Grand County, UT).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the County Attorney, 435-259-1324, handles discovery for pending cases.
