Sevier County, Utah, has about 23,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Sevier County Sheriff's Office and three city 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 Sevier 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 Sevier County
The Sevier County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Sevier County. It reported 63 arrests for 2025.
The FBI lists three cities in Sevier County with a reporting agency of their own, with the Census population and what each reported:
- Richfield, 8,330 residents: 262 arrests reported for 2025.
- Salina, 2,610 residents: 34 arrests reported for 2023.
- Aurora, 1,053 residents: 0 arrests reported for 2023.
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.
How Many Arrests Each Agency Reports in Sevier 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.
- Richfield: 262 for 2025, 281 for 2024, 396 for 2023, 427 for 2022, 430 for 2021 and 349 for 2020.
- Sevier County Sheriff's Office: 63 for 2025, 58 for 2024, 70 for 2023, 79 for 2022, 138 for 2020 and 203 for 2019; 2021 is missing months.
- Salina: 34 for 2023, 39 for 2021, 54 for 2020 and 76 for 2019; 2022 is missing months.
- Aurora: 0 for 2023, 0 for 2021 and 0 for 2019; 2020 and 2022 are missing months.
Together, the two agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 325 arrests that year. The same agencies with both 2025 and 2024 complete reported 325 in 2025 against 339 in 2024, down 4.1 percent.
Through June 2026, the two agencies with every month so far on file reported 147 arrests, against 162 in the same months of 2025.
Aurora reported only part of 2025 (11 months) and is left out of the totals.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Sevier County Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Sevier County and kept in custody ends up, whichever agency made the arrest, though a city department may hold someone in its own cells first and a person cited and released at the scene is never booked. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and once the person is released or sentenced the record continues in the court file.
On an average day in 2019 the jail held about 99 people. Its rated capacity in 2019 was 138 beds, and it ran at 72 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Sevier County Sheriff's Office at seviercountysheriff.com/inmateRoster (page title: Inmate Roster | Sevier County Sheriff’s Office), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 2026.
That page is the place to look for someone who was booked recently; a person cited and released at the scene, or held only a few hours by a city department, will not be on it.
A sentence of more than a year is served in state prison; the Utah Department of Corrections lists its inmates at corrections.utah.gov/inmate-services/offender-search.
How to Find Out About an Arrest in Sevier County
Whether someone was arrested in Sevier County, and what came of it, shows up in three places: the custody page of the Sevier County Sheriff's Office described above, for anyone booked into the county jail; the case index of the District Court for Sevier County, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at sevier.utah.gov/departments/justice_court/index.php, phone (435) 893-0461); the County Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at sevier.utah.gov/departments/attorney/index.php, phone (435) 896-2675).

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 Sevier County
An arrest report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court or the jail. 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 Sevier County Sheriff's Office: ask its records unit.

- A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the County Attorney, (435) 896-2675, handles discovery for pending cases.
- The court file of a case that was filed: the District Court for Sevier County, through the court records page at sevier.utah.gov, phone (435) 893-0461.
