Box Elder County Arrest Records: Who Makes Arrests, Where People Are Booked and How to Get the Report

Who Makes Arrests in Box Elder County

The Box Elder County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Box Elder County. It reported 107 arrests for 2024, its latest complete year.

The FBI lists five cities in Box Elder County with a reporting agency of their own, with the Census population and what each reported:

• Brigham City, 20,319 residents: 167 arrests reported for 2024.
• Tremonton, 12,677 residents: 79 arrests reported for 2025.
• Perry, 6,111 residents: 112 arrests reported for 2025.
• Willard, 2,355 residents: 20 arrests reported for 2025.

A city on that list is reported separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.

Booking: Where People Arrested in Box Elder County Are Held

A person kept in custody after an arrest in Box Elder County 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 140 people. Its rated capacity in 2019 was 142 beds, and it ran at 96 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 Box Elder County

An arrest in Box Elder County can be traced in two places, depending on where the case stands: the case index of the District Court for Box Elder 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 boxeldercountyut.gov/172/Attorney, phone 435-734-3329).

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 Box Elder County

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.
