Juab County, Utah, has about 13,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Juab County Sheriff's Office and one city agency. 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 Juab 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 Juab County
The Juab County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Juab County. It reported 234 arrests for 2022, its latest complete year.
One city in Juab County reports its arrests to the FBI separately:

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 Santaquin/Genola Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Juab County, so its arrests are not broken out for Juab County here.
How Many Arrests Nephi Reports
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.
- Nephi: 114 for 2025, 189 for 2024, 234 for 2023, 180 for 2022, 236 for 2021 and 236 for 2020.

Through June 2026, Nephi reported 50 arrests, against 77 in the same months of 2025.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Juab County Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Juab 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 30 people. Its rated capacity in 2019 was 40 beds, and it ran at 75 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 Juab County
An arrest in Juab County can be traced in two places, depending on where the case stands: the case index of the District Court for Juab County, kept by the clerk of court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date; the County Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at juabcounty.gov/departments/attorney, phone 435-623-3460).
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county, at justicecourt.utahcounty.gov/home (page title: Justice Court), phone (801) 851-7200, belongs to a lower court, not to the District Court for Juab County.

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 Juab 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.
