Grand County, Utah, has about 9,800 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Grand County depends on where the incident happened: the Grand 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 Grand 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 Grand County that is the Grand 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.
Reports from the Grand County Sheriff's Office
The Grand County Sheriff's Office is the county agency; it had 29 violent and 44 property crimes reported for 2025 and reported 348 arrests for 2025.
Its reports come from its records unit. The office's page SearchSystems verified is its custody page, at grandcountyutah.net/947/Jail-Inmate-List (page title: Jail Inmate List | Grand County, UT), 125 E. Center St. Moab, UT 84532, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 2026.
Reports from the City Agencies in Grand County
The one city the FBI lists in Grand County with a reporting agency of its own, with the police records page SearchSystems verified where the city has a guide:
- Moab: 36 violent and 83 property crimes reported for 2025; 174 arrests reported for 2025. The Moab police records page is at moabcity.gov/DocumentCenter/View/686/Police-RecordReport-Request (verified September 26, 2026).
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.

What the Government Records Access and Management Act Requires
Under the Government Records Access and Management Act the agency must answer a request within 10 business days, or 5 when the request is expedited, and it may charge copying and staff time after the first quarter hour. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at grandcountyutah.net/592/Open-Records-Request-GRAMA (page title: Open Records Request | Grand County, UT).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the County Attorney, 435-259-1324, handles discovery for pending cases.
