Kane County, Utah, has about 8,500 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Kane County depends on where the incident happened: the Kane 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 Kane 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 Kane County that is the Kane 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 Kane County Sheriff's Office
The Kane County Sheriff's Office is the county agency; it had 9 violent and 20 property crimes reported for 2025 and reported 175 arrests for 2025.
Its reports come from its records unit, reached through the office at 800-943-2189.

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 kane.utah.gov/299/Records-Requests (page title: Records Requests | Kane County, UT).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the County Attorney, 435-644-5278, handles discovery for pending cases.
