Midvale Quick Facts
Midvale Recent Bookings Basics
The Midvale Police Department is the main arresting agency in the city. After a booking, the subject moves to the Salt Lake County Metro Jail at 3415 South 900 West. That is the same jail used by all cities in the county. So the Midvale recent bookings roster sits on the Salt Lake County Sheriff site. The city itself does not run a jail.
The Sheriff's roster is the fastest way to check who was booked in the last day. It is free. It updates often. You can search by last name or booking number. The result page shows the charge, the bail, and the next court date. Under Utah Code 63G-2-201, this data is open to the public as part of GRAMA. You do not need to give a reason to view it.
Note: Personal data like home address and phone number are pulled from the public roster under state privacy rules.
Midvale Police Records Unit
The Midvale Police records unit keeps the full file on every case the city police worked. That file has more detail than the jail roster line. It can include the officer narrative, witness notes, photos, and body cam clips. To get a copy, send a GRAMA request to the Midvale Police records office. The form is simple. You list the name, the date, and what you want.
Most basic requests come back in 10 business days. Large files take longer. A fee may apply for staff time and copies. Small requests are free. See the Midvale Police page at midvale.com/police for the request form and contact info.

How to Search Midvale Bookings
Start at the Salt Lake County Sheriff roster. Type the last name and hit enter. You will see a list of recent bookings that match. Each row links to a detail view with the full charge list.
If you do not know the name, try the date of arrest. The roster can be filtered by day. That helps when you read a news story about a case but do not have the subject's name yet. You can also cross-check with the Utah XChange court portal for the case number.
A few tips help:
- Try both first and last name spellings
- Check the date range window on the roster
- Save the booking number for future searches
- Look up the charge code for context
Midvale Justice Court Docket
The Midvale Justice Court hears class B and C misdemeanors, traffic, and small claims filed by the city police. Most Midvale recent bookings that end in a misdemeanor move through this court first. Felonies move up to the Third District Court in downtown Salt Lake City. The Justice Court clerk keeps the case file. You can visit in person or ask the clerk for a copy by mail.
Arrest must be based on probable cause under Utah Code 77-7. The judge checks this at the first hearing. If the cause is weak, the judge can release the person. Bail rules are set by Utah Code 77-20.
Note: Court files may be sealed in some cases, such as when a youth is involved or when a charge is dropped and expunged.
Bail Rules and Release
Bail can be cash, a bond, or a release on the subject's own word. The judge sets the amount at the first hearing. The risk of flight, the charge class, and the threat to the public all matter. A low risk case may get a release with no money down. A high risk case may get held without bail.
Once bail is paid, the person is free to leave the Metro Jail. The jail posts the new status on the roster right away. So if you check the Midvale recent bookings list and the person is gone, they were likely released on bail or moved to court.
State Midvale Booking Tools
More tools help from the state level. The Bureau of Criminal Identification sells a statewide rap sheet. It costs more than a free roster look up, but it shows all arrests in Utah, not just one city. VINElink sends alerts when a person is moved or released. Utah Corrections lists people sent to state prison.
Use the Utah State Archives for old records. The Archives holds files older than the live roster keeps online. They are a great source for past cases.
