Reviewed and updated October 9, 2026 by the SearchSystems.net editorial team. The arrest and crime counts are the ones each agency reported to the FBI, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026.

Carbon County, Utah, has about 21,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Carbon County depends on where the incident happened: the Carbon County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Government Records Access and Management Act requires of it.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Carbon County
The report of an incident is released by the agency that took it; the court and the jail hold their own records of the same event, but not the report.
In Carbon County that is the Carbon County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.

The Carbon County Sheriff's Office is the county agency; it had 24 violent and 50 property crimes reported for 2025 and reported 652 arrests for 2025.
Its reports come from its records unit, reached through the office at (435) 636-3251.

Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at carbon.utah.gov/service/records-request (page title: Records Request | Carbon County Utah).
