Murray Quick Facts
Murray Police Recent Arrests
The Murray Police Department is the main source for city arrest reports. Officers make the arrest, write the incident report, and file it with the records unit. The department then keeps the file under state public records rules. Most basic arrest data is public, like the name, date, charge, and location.
To get a copy of a Murray arrest report, file a GRAMA request with the city. Send it in writing and include the full name, the date of arrest, and the case number if you know it. The city responds within ten business days under Utah Code § 63G-2-204. Fees may apply for copies and staff time.
Some parts of an arrest report may be redacted. Juvenile names, victim data, and open case info can be held back under Utah Code § 63G-2-302. You can also get general arrest info by phone from the records unit during business hours.
Note: If a case is still open, the police may hold the full report until charges are filed.
Salt Lake County Jail Bookings
Murray arrests are booked into the Salt Lake County Metro Jail. The county sheriff runs the jail and posts a list of people in custody. Visit the Salt Lake County Sheriff page for the roster and booking info. The list shows name, charges, booking date, and bond amount.
Here is the county sheriff page used to look up Murray jail bookings.
The roster is refreshed through the day as new people come in and others post bond. If you don't find a name, check again in a few hours.
The jail takes people from all cities in the county, including Murray, Draper, and Riverton. If you want to visit someone in custody, check the visiting rules on the sheriff site before you go. Bring a valid photo ID and know the booking number.
Murray GRAMA Arrest Reports
Utah's public records law, called GRAMA, controls access to Murray arrest reports. Under Utah Code § 63G-2-201, most arrest records are public. A written request is required, and fees may apply. You can also find general Murray records info at this Murray records guide.
Send your GRAMA request by mail, email, or in person at Murray City Hall. Include your contact info and a clear description of the record you want. The city records officer reviews the file, redacts any private parts, and sends you a copy. If the request is denied, the notice will tell you how to appeal.
Appeals in Utah go first to the city records officer, then to the State Records Committee. Most Murray arrest report requests are handled within the legal time frame. Ask for a fee estimate before the work starts if you want to keep costs down.
Third District Court Case Files
Murray arrest cases are filed in the Third District Court of Salt Lake County. Public case info is at the Utah Courts XChange portal. You can search by party name or case number. Court records work hand in hand with police arrest reports.
The file shows what happened after the Murray arrest. You can see the charges, the plea, and any sentence. State law at Utah Code § 77-1-6 covers the rights of the accused at each step.
Salt Lake County Sheriff Recent Arrests
The Salt Lake County Sheriff also makes arrests in parts of the county near Murray. The sheriff runs the jail used for all Murray bookings. You can call the sheriff to ask about a booking, confirm custody status, or find visiting hours.
The sheriff also serves warrants issued in Salt Lake County cases. If you think you may have a warrant from an old Murray case, talk to a lawyer before you walk into a station.
Utah BCI Background Checks
The Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification, or BCI, holds the full state criminal history file. A background check pulls data from every city and county, including Murray. Ask for your own file at Utah BCI. You need a fingerprint card and a fee under Utah Code § 53-10-108.
BCI also keeps the state warrant database. Active Murray warrants show up here and can be served by any police agency in Utah. Note that BCI background checks are the only way to see a full statewide record at once.
Expungement of Murray Arrest Records
Utah law at Utah Code § 77-40a-302 lets many people clear old arrests. Expungement seals the case so most background checks will not find it. You start by asking BCI for a Certificate of Eligibility. Then you file a petition with the court that handled the Murray case.
Some cases are not eligible. Violent felonies, DUIs, and a few other crimes have long waits or cannot be cleared. Utah's Clean Slate law does clear some minor misdemeanors on its own, without any request from you.
Legal aid offices in Salt Lake County help Murray residents with the forms at low or no cost. The process can take months from start to finish. Once a case is sealed, you can answer "no" to most questions about past arrests, but some agencies can still see the file.
Note: File the petition in the same court that heard the original Murray case, which is the Third District Court in downtown Salt Lake City.
