Syracuse, Utah, in Davis 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 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 Syracuse
The FBI lists Syracuse with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Syracuse Police Department. It reported 436 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 Syracuse 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.
- Syracuse: 436 for 2025, 388 for 2024, 279 for 2023, 346 for 2022, 343 for 2021 and 325 for 2020.
Syracuse's 436 arrests in 2025 were up 12 percent from 388 in 2024.
Through July 2026, Syracuse reported 196 arrests, against 241 in the same months of 2025.
Across Davis County, the 12 agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 5,591 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Syracuse Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Syracuse 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 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 Syracuse
An arrest in Syracuse can be traced in two places, depending on where the case stands: 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 Syracuse
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.
