Pleasant Grove, Utah, in Utah County, has about 38,000 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 Utah 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 Pleasant Grove
The FBI lists Pleasant Grove with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Pleasant Grove Police Department. It reported 858 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 Utah County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 2,920 arrests for 2025.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Utah County: Brigham Young University and Utah Valley University (campus police); Utah County Major Crimes Task Force and Utah County Attorney, Investigations Division (other).
How Many Arrests Pleasant Grove 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.
- Pleasant Grove: 858 for 2025, 798 for 2024, 854 for 2023, 768 for 2022, 844 for 2021 and 657 for 2020.
Pleasant Grove's 858 arrests in 2025 were up 7.5 percent from 798 in 2024.
Through July 2026, Pleasant Grove reported 424 arrests, against 453 in the same months of 2025.
Across Utah County, the 14 agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 18,106 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Pleasant Grove Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Pleasant Grove 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 490 people, down from about 600 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2023 was 1,172 beds, and it ran at 42 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 Utah County Sheriff's Office at sheriff.utahcounty.gov/corrections/inmateSearch (page title: Utah County Sheriff's Office Inmate Search), phone 801-851-4000, 3075 North Main Spanish Fork, UT 84660, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 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.
A sentence of more than a year is served in state prison; the Utah Department of Corrections lists its inmates at corrections.utah.gov/inmate-services/offender-search.
How to Find Out About an Arrest in Pleasant Grove
Whether someone was arrested in Pleasant Grove, and what came of it, shows up in three places: the custody page of the Utah County Sheriff's Office described above, for anyone booked into the county jail; the case index of the District Court for Utah County, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at utcourts.gov/en/court-records-publications/records/xchange.html); the County Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at atty.utahcounty.gov).
Statewide, MyCase and Xchange is free case lookup for parties through MyCase; the public Xchange search is by subscription.
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 Pleasant Grove
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 Government Records Access and Management Act the agency must answer within 10 business days, or 5 when the request is expedited, and it may charge copying and staff time after the first quarter hour.
