Ogden Quick Facts
Ogden Police Department Records
The Ogden Police Department keeps all police records for the city. This includes arrest reports and incident reports. The department files a report for every booking. You can reach the police at ogdencity.com/police. The records division handles GRAMA requests and in-person lookups. Walk-in hours and forms are on the site. For a police records division page, see ogdencity.com/police/records.
Each arrest report lists the name, date, location, charge, and the arresting officer. Some parts may be held back if the case is open. Under Utah Code § 63G-2-201, most arrest records are public. Read the statute at le.utah.gov. Note: Ogden Police do not post a daily arrest log online.
Weber County Jail Bookings
Ogden arrests are booked into the Weber County Jail. The Weber County Sheriff runs the jail. The sheriff keeps an inmate lookup tool online. You can use it to find recent bookings from Ogden. The tool shows the name, charge, booking date, bond, and custody status. Go to webercountyutah.gov/sheriff to begin.
Here is what the Weber County Sheriff page looks like for Ogden recent arrests lookups.
The roster updates a few times per day. A new booking may not show up for an hour or two. Once a person posts bond or gets released, the entry drops from the active roster. That does not erase the arrest record. It just means the person is no longer in custody. For more county info, visit the Weber County recent arrests page.
Ogden Recent Bookings Lookup
To look up recent bookings from Ogden, start with the county jail tool. You need a name or booking number. The search is free. The tool gives the arrest date, the charges, and the next court date if one is set.
Search tips:
- Use the full legal name
- Try the last name alone if the full name fails
- Watch for spelling issues
- Note the booking number from the roster
- Save a screenshot if you need it for court
For older cases, you need more than the live roster. Ask the Weber County Sheriff or the Ogden Police for a copy of the original report. That takes a GRAMA request and some wait time.
GRAMA Records Request in Ogden
Ogden accepts GRAMA requests for public records. GRAMA is the Utah law that sets access rules for state and local records. You can read the full act at Utah Code § 63G-2. The city responds within 10 business days. Your request must include your name, contact info, and a clear description of the records you want. A vague request will slow the process. Give a date range or case number if you can. Some fees may apply for copy costs and staff time.
File a request through the city records page at ogdencity.com/records. If the city denies the request, you can appeal to the chief administrative officer. The appeal rules are in the same GRAMA statute. Note: Always keep a copy of your filed request so you can point back to it in an appeal.

Expungement of Ogden Arrest Records
Utah law lets some people clear old arrests. The process is called expungement. The BCI runs it. You file a form, pay a fee, and wait for a certificate of eligibility. Once the court grants it, the record is sealed. The arrest will not show up in most background checks.
Cases that may qualify include arrests with no charge, dismissed cases, and some old convictions. Violent crimes and sex crimes are not eligible. The full rules are in Utah Code Title 77 Chapter 40a. An Ogden resident files the same form as anyone else in Utah. Note: Expungement seals the record but does not destroy it, and courts can still view sealed files in some cases.
