Cache County, Utah, has about 145,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Cache County Sheriff's Office, three city agencies and two campus, state or other agencies. An arrest 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 Cache County. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts each agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies, cities and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Cache County
The Cache County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Cache County. It reported 1,392 arrests for 2025.
Arrests inside two of the county's cities are reported to the FBI by an agency of the city's own, listed here with the Census population and what each reported:
- Logan, 56,770 residents: 1,840 arrests reported for 2025.
- Smithfield, 15,018 residents: 70 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.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Cache County: Cache-Rich Drug Task Force (other); Utah State University at Logan (campus police).
How Many Arrests Each Agency Reports in Cache County
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.
- Logan: 1,840 for 2025, 2,162 for 2024, 2,380 for 2023, 2,358 for 2022, 2,433 for 2021 and 1,847 for 2020.
- Cache County Sheriff's Office: 1,392 for 2025, 1,450 for 2024, 1,309 for 2023, 1,145 for 2022, 1,161 for 2021 and 1,624 for 2020.

Through July 2026, the three agencies with every month so far on file reported 1,849 arrests, against 1,984 in the same months of 2025.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Cache County Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Cache 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 2023 the jail held about 310 people, up from about 280 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2023 was 360 beds, and it ran at 87 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 Cache County
An arrest in Cache County can be traced in two places, depending on where the case stands: the case index of the District Court for Cache County, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at archives.utah.gov/research/digital/first-cache-indexes); the County Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at cachecounty.gov/attorney/criminal-division.html).
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 Cache 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.
- An arrest by the Cache County Sheriff's Office: ask its records unit, reached through the office at (435) 755-1227.
- An arrest in Logan or Smithfield: the records unit of the agency that reports for that city.
- An arrest by Cache-Rich Drug Task Force or Utah State University at Logan: the records office of the agency involved.
- A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the County Attorney handles discovery for pending cases.
- The court file of a case that was filed: the District Court for Cache County, through the court records page at archives.utah.gov.
- Any county record that is not posted: the county records request page SearchSystems verified is at cachecounty.gov (page title: Records Request | Official Site of Cache County, Utah).
- Your own statewide record: a Right of Access request, fingerprint-based, to the Bureau of Criminal Identification.
Cities in Cache County: Who Reports the Arrests
The FBI lists a separate arrest reporting agency for two of the 19 cities in Cache County: Logan and Smithfield. North Logan, Hyrum, Providence, Nibley, Hyde Park, Wellsville, Richmond, Millville, River Heights, Lewiston, Mendon, Paradise and five more have no separate reporting agency in the FBI's list. The FBI's list also carries the North Park Police Department as a city agency in Cache County; North Park is not among the cities above.
Wherever in the county the arrest happens, a person kept in custody goes to the county jail and the case goes to the District Court for Cache County.
