Roosevelt, Utah, in Duchesne County, has about 7,400 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 Duchesne 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 Roosevelt
The FBI lists Roosevelt with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Roosevelt Police Department. It reported 507 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 Duchesne County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 281 arrests for 2021.
How Many Arrests Roosevelt 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.
- Roosevelt: 507 for 2025, 542 for 2024, 814 for 2023, 651 for 2022, 611 for 2021 and 692 for 2020.
Roosevelt's 507 arrests in 2025 were down 6.5 percent from 542 in 2024.
Through July 2026, Roosevelt reported 278 arrests, against 276 in the same months of 2025.
Across Duchesne County, the two agencies with all twelve months of 2021 on file reported 892 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Roosevelt Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Roosevelt 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 120 people. Its rated capacity in 2019 was 166 beds, and it ran at 70 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

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.
