Uintah County, Utah, has about 38,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Uintah County depends on where the incident happened: the Uintah 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.

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.
