Brigham City Quick Facts
Brigham City Recent Bookings Basics
The Brigham City Police Department works cases inside city limits. After an arrest, the subject is taken to the Box Elder County Jail for booking. The jail is run by the Box Elder County Sheriff. So the Brigham City recent bookings data lives on the county side, not the city side. The city police keep the incident report. The county keeps the jail file and the roster.
The Sheriff main phone is (435) 734-3800. The jail phone is (435) 734-3838. You can call either line to ask about custody status, though the online roster is often faster. Under Utah Code 63G-2-201, arrest and booking data are public records. You can ask for them without giving a reason. That is the core rule of GRAMA.
Note: Some personal data are pulled from the public roster under Utah Code 63A-19-401.
Brigham City Police Records
The Brigham City Police Department has its own records unit. You can ask for a copy of any police report tied to a Brigham City recent booking.

To ask, file a GRAMA request at the city records office. The form is short. You list the name, the date, and what you want. A small request is often free. A large one may need a fee for staff time. The city must respond in 10 business days as a rule.

Bail Rules and Release
Bail rules come from Utah Code 77-20. The judge sets bail based on the charge, the flight risk, and the threat to the public. Some people are released on their own word with no cash down. Others must post cash or use a bondsman. High risk cases may be held with no bail at all.
