Roy, Utah, in Weber County, has about 39,000 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 Weber 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 Roy
The FBI lists Roy with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Roy Police Department. It reported 389 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 Weber County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 555 arrests for 2025.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Weber County: Weber State University (campus police); Weber Morgan Narcotics Strike Force (other).
How Many Arrests Roy 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.
- Roy: 389 for 2025, 459 for 2024, 580 for 2023, 451 for 2022, 395 for 2021 and 372 for 2020.
Roy's 389 arrests in 2025 were down 15 percent from 459 in 2024.
Through July 2026, Roy reported 232 arrests, against 207 in the same months of 2025.
Across Weber County, the seven agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 5,993 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Roy Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Roy 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 2024 the jail held about 770 people, down from about 990 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2023, the last year with a capacity figure, was 1,099 beds, and it ran at 64 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 Weber County Sheriff's Office at webercountyutah.gov/sheriff/corrections/booking.php (page title: Weber County Sheriff | Booking & Release), 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 person sentenced to prison serves the sentence in a facility of the Utah Department of Corrections, whose inmate locator is at corrections.utah.gov/inmate-services/offender-search.
How to Find Out About an Arrest in Roy
Whether someone was arrested in Roy, and what came of it, shows up in three places: the custody page of the Weber County Sheriff's Office described above, for anyone booked into the county jail; MyCase and Xchange, free case lookup for parties through MyCase; the public Xchange search is by subscription, which shows whether charges were filed; the County Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at webercountyutah.gov/Attorney).
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 Roy
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.
- An arrest by the Roy police: the police records page SearchSystems verified at royutah.gov/_T21_R54.php (page title: Records/Evidence Clerk/ Police Department), phone (801) 774-1000, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 26, 2026.
