Syracuse, Utah, in Davis County, has about 39,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). In Utah the public criminal record is the court file, kept by the clerk of court; the statewide criminal history kept by the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification is released only to its subject and to the employers and agencies the law allows. This guide says where each record of a criminal case from Syracuse is kept and how it is seen.
This guide covers the court file, the statewide record, local arrest records, the crimes behind the records, the prosecutor, sex offender registry, records requests, directory links and common questions.

The Utah Criminal History and Your Own Copy
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 file in the District Court for Davis County is the public record.
To see your own record, the route is a Right of Access request, fingerprint-based, to the Bureau of Criminal Identification. The state page SearchSystems verified for it is at bci.utah.gov/criminal-records/obtain-a-copy-of-your-own-criminal-hi....
Arrest Records Kept Locally in Syracuse
The Davis County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Syracuse (filed by the FBI as Syracuse Police Department) keep the arrest records in and around Syracuse: the report and the booking record of each arrest stay with the agency that made it, separate from the court file and from the state repository.
The FBI's agency list also places one more agency in Davis County: Davis Metropolitan Narcotics Strike Force (other agency); it keeps the records of its own arrests.
Together, the 12 agencies in Davis County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 5,591 arrests to the FBI that year; how each case ended is in the court file, not in the arresting agency's.
The agencies and their counts, year by year, are in Syracuse arrest records.

An arrest report, a booking record or a local criminal history letter comes from the agency that holds it, not from the court.
