Cedar City Police Recent Bookings

The Cedar City Police Department handles most arrests inside the city. Officers file an arrest report that names the person, the charge, the spot of the arrest, and the time. That report is the first step in the booking chain. From there, the person is taken to the Iron County Jail for full intake and holding.

You can reach the department through the records unit at cedarcity.org/police. Staff take walk-in requests, mail requests, and email requests for Cedar City recent bookings and old arrest files. Most pulls cost a small fee for copies and staff time. Call ahead to ask about hours and what you need to bring.

Each Cedar City arrest report shows the full name of the person, the date of birth, the charge code, and the name of the arresting officer. Some reports also show witness names and the location where the stop or call took place. Open case details may be held back under GRAMA until the case is closed by the court.
