Summit County Arrest Records
An arrest record in Summit County holds more than the jail roster. It has the name, date of birth, and address of the person booked. It shows the arrest date, time, and place. The arresting officer and agency are listed. The charges are cited by Utah code section. Bond info, court dates, and past arrest history may be in the file. Some parts of the record are public. Other parts are kept out of the public copy.
Under Utah Code 77-7, an officer must have probable cause to arrest. That rule sets the base for each booking. Once the person is brought to the jail, staff create a record. Name, charges, and booking date are public. Things like a Social Security number, a mug shot of a juvenile, or medical info are not.
You can ask for an arrest record through a GRAMA request. The Government Records Office, set up under Utah Code 63A-19-101 and 63A-19-102, helps if you have a question about how to file. If you are told no, you can appeal under Utah Code 63A-19-401.
Bail and Release in Summit County
After a booking, the next step is a first court date. A judge sets bail. Bail rules are in Utah Code 77-20. The judge looks at the charge, past record, and risk that the person will not show up.

If the person is let out on bond, the booking record stays public. The release date is added to the file. Note: Bail can change at a later hearing, so check both the jail roster and the court docket for the latest info.
