Bountiful Police Department Arrests

The department gives out public arrest reports under state law. Most basic fields like name, date, charge, and location are public once the case is filed.
You can ask for an arrest report in writing. Include the full name, the date of arrest, and the case number if you have one. The records unit reviews the file, holds back any private parts, and sends you a copy. Juvenile names, victim info, and open case items can be redacted under Utah Code § 63G-2-302.
Note: The department must respond within ten business days of getting the written request.

The Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification holds the full state criminal history file. A background check at BCI pulls data from every city and county, including Bountiful. Ask for your own file at Utah BCI.
A full BCI background check needs a fingerprint card and a fee under Utah Code § 53-10-108. BCI also keeps the state warrant database. Active Bountiful warrants show up here and can be served by any police agency in the state.
People who want to know their own record can ask BCI directly. The office will mail the file once it is ready. This is helpful if you need to fix a mistake or track an old Bountiful case that is missing from a local search. The state file is the single most complete source of arrest history in Utah.
Bountiful Arrest Expungement
Utah law at Utah Code Title 77, Chapter 40a lets many people clear old arrests. This is called expungement. It seals the case file so most background checks will not find it. The process starts with a Certificate of Eligibility from BCI. After that, you file a petition with the Second District Court.
Not every case can be cleared. Violent felonies, some sex crimes, and DUIs have long waits or are not eligible. Utah's Clean Slate law does clear some minor misdemeanors on its own without any request from you. Legal aid offices in Davis County help Bountiful residents with the forms at low or no cost.
Note: An expunged case is sealed, but some agencies can still see the file for certain jobs and licensing purposes.
