Midvale Quick Facts
Midvale Police Department Reports
The Midvale Police Department makes every arrest inside the city. The patrol officer writes the arrest report the same shift. The report has the name, date, time, place, charges, and the booking officer. Midvale recent arrests are then sent to the Salt Lake County Metro Jail with the person for booking. The city records desk keeps the police report and takes GRAMA requests from the public.
See Midvale Police for the main site and the phone list. Send a GRAMA request to the records desk for a copy of an arrest report. Give the name and the date. The city has 10 business days to reply under Utah Code § 63G-2. Fees may apply.
Salt Lake County Jail Booking
Midvale recent arrests are booked into the Salt Lake County Metro Jail. The Salt Lake County Sheriff runs the jail. The sheriff keeps the current inmate roster and updates it daily. You can look up a name to see custody status, booking date, charges, and bail. The jail is one of the largest in the state and holds people from many cities inside the county.
For the roster, see saltlakecounty.gov/sheriff. The image below shows the Salt Lake County Sheriff page tied to Midvale recent arrests and bookings.
The roster shows in-custody people only. Once a person bonds out, the name drops off the list. For older bookings, send a GRAMA request to the sheriff records unit or to Midvale Police records.
Midvale Recent Bookings
A booking is made the moment a Midvale arrest reaches the jail. Staff log the name, date of birth, photo, prints, charges, and the bail amount. Some people post bond and walk out the same day. Others wait for a first court date. Serious felonies may be held with no bail until a judge sets the amount. The jail sends a booking file to the court for the first hearing.
GRAMA Request for Midvale Arrest Records
GRAMA is the Utah open records law. It lives at Utah Code § 63G-2. Midvale uses GRAMA for all police records and arrest reports. Send a written request to the records officer with the name, date, and record type you need. The city has 10 business days to reply. See Midvale Records for the process. Fees may apply.
Note: Records tied to an open case may be held back in full or in part under GRAMA classifications.
Third District Court in Salt Lake County
After a Midvale arrest, the court case moves to the Third District Court. The district court handles felonies and major misdemeanors. Small crimes and city-level cases go to a justice court. The Utah State Courts XChange system lets you search district court cases by name. See utcourts.gov/xchange. Case data shows the charges, the next hearing, and the final disposition once the case is closed.
The court keeps the formal record of every Midvale arrest that moves to a charge. A disposition can show guilty, not guilty, dropped, or sent to a plea deal. Court records are the best source for the end result of a case.

Utah BCI and Warrant Search
The Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification holds the state rap sheet. BCI sits under the Department of Public Safety. You can get your own rap sheet at bci.utah.gov with an application and a fee. The rap sheet covers Midvale recent arrests that led to a booking, plus arrests anywhere else in Utah. BCI also runs the state gun background check.
For active warrants, use the free name search at Utah DPS Warrant Search. The tool covers all Utah counties. The Utah Code at Title 53, Chapter 10 sets the rules for BCI and state criminal data.
Midvale Arrest Expungement
Some Midvale arrests can be cleared under state law. The process starts with a BCI application and fee. BCI checks your record and gives you a certificate if you qualify. You file the certificate with the court that held your case. The court enters an order to seal the record. See BCI Expungements for the forms and fee list.
Wait times apply. The wait depends on the charge type and the final result of the case. Dropped cases and not-guilty verdicts can often be cleared sooner. Some charges, like some violent and sex crimes, cannot be cleared at all.
