Cache County, Utah Arrest Records

Arrests are official actions executed by the police in response to violations of law, as a means of maintaining law and order in the community and ensuring legal routes to justice for victims and survivors.

Police agencies generate documentation about each formal arrest made in Cache County, Utah. These documents, broadly titled “Cache County arrest records,” provide key details about the incident, specifying who was arrested, why, and by whom. The Cache County Sheriff’s Office and Logan City Police Department are two of the several law enforcement agencies in Cache County, inarguably the largest local police forces operating within the county’s borders.

Per the Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA), Cache arrest records are maintained by the police department whose officer/officers performed the arrest operation. The records are regularly transmitted to select criminal justice agencies over the course of investigations and prosecutions, and occasionally to members of the public upon request in accordance with Utah’s open records laws.

Most commonly, the public’s interest in arrest records pertains to finding out official details about an arrest, determining bail amounts for a loved one, or checking background information for sensitive or critical positions (e.g., healthcare, financial services, public office).

Are Arrest Records Public Information in Cache, Utah?

Yes. Utah’s public records law (GRAMA), found in Utah Code §§ 63G-2-101, et seq., leaves the majority of government records open to public perusal. Arrest records are included in these categories of records, meaning anyone, whether residing in or out of state, can seek access to Cache County arrest records through the official custodians—centrally local law enforcement.

GRAMA defines the public’s right of access and also the exceptions to it. The law, in Section 63G-2-301(3), maintains that chronological logs and initial contact reports are public information.

Chronological Logs: Defined in § 63G-2-103(3) as the “regular and customary summary records” of law enforcement and other public safety departments, including any arrests or jail bookings.
Initial Contact Reports: Defined in § 63G-2-103(16) as the initial written or recorded reports, however titled, prepared by peace officers in response to official actions, like arrests.

Certain “private,” “controlled,” or “protected” classifications, however, are applied to information deemed exempt by statute, federal regulation, or court directive.

Agencies do not require proof of identity (like a physical photo ID card) or a statement of purpose to release access. However, Section 63G-2-204 necessitates the requester to identify themselves, providing a name, mailing address, daytime telephone number, or email address (if willing to accept communications via email regarding the request).

What Do Public Cache County Arrest Records Contain?

Section 63G-2-301(3) of Utah’s Government Records Access and Management Act sets forth arrest records that must fully remain open to the public—primarily chronological logs and initial contact reports, as defined previously.

Specifically, GRAMA mandates that the following arrest information must be publicly viewable in Cache County:

Identifying Data: The name, address, and other identifying data about a person arrested or charged.
Incident Details: The precise date, time, location, and legal nature of the offense or arrest.
Scene Information: Any injuries or estimate of damages sustained during the arrest operation.
Arresting or Responding Personnel: The identity of the public safety officer, excluding undercover personnel, who executed the arrest.

On the other side of it, arrest records withheld from the public include

Follow-up or investigative reports prepared after an initial contact report.
Medical histories, diagnoses, evaluations, and similar data.
Social Security numbers
Juvenile records (Title 78A, Chapter 6 (The Juvenile Court Act, including Utah Code § 78A-6-209, as well as Title 80 (Utah Juvenile Code)
Information officially sealed or expunged by the court

State and federal pathways for finding Cache County, Utah, arrest information include

The Utah Judicial System

As the foremost agencies in which local criminal charges are filed, Cache County courts hold certain arrest information for the cases they adjudicate.

One can view court records via the Utah judiciary’s case search systems—i.e., the free MyCase portal for case participants or paid Xchange portal for the general public—or make a formal request to the clerk of the court’s office. Free public XChange access is also available at the 1st District Court (which includes Cache County), some justice courthouses, and the Utah State Law Library.

The Utah Department of Safety (DPS)

Individuals can request a copy of their Utah criminal history records from the DPS’s Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI). The statutory fee for a standard Right of Access check is $20. It is not possible for the general public to obtain the criminal histories of other individuals through the BCI (Utah Administrative Code R722-900).

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)

The FBI is the nationwide repository for criminal history information, offering criminal records checks—formally known as Identity History Summary Checks—solely to the subject of the record. The baseline processing fee for each request is $18.

Cache County Inmate Locator

Inmate locators, at their core, provide critical information about individuals detained in a jail, including arrest information related to their stay in custody. For this reason, county inmate locators are frequently utilized to source basic arrest data, such as a detainee’s arrest date, arrest charges, and arresting agency.

While the Sheriff’s Office website technically features an unofficial digital inmate roster, this online lookup system is frequently unavailable or entirely blank. Consequently, members of the public are directed to contact the Jail Administration for inmate inquiries or submit a formal records request to the Sheriff’s Office.

Active Warrant Search in Cache County

Arrest warrants in Cache County refer to written orders issued by local courts that permit the police to take a specific person into custody for an offense and bring them before the issuing or nearest magistrate/judge. Under Article I, Section 14 of the Utah Constitution, no arrest warrant may be issued without a judicial determination of probable cause, which sets out facts or circumstances supporting an arrest and establishing the accused’s complicity.

Rule 6 of the Utah Rules of Criminal Procedure (URCRP) describes the form and contents of arrest warrants as including

The defendant’s name
Pretrial release conditions, if any
Appearance requirements (whether the defendant must enter a personal appearance or remit monetary bail to satisfy any underlying court obligation)
Bail parameters (as applicable), and
The geographic area for transportation

Arrest warrants are public after issuance per Utah Code § 63G-2-301(m) unless judicially restricted prior to service. To check for active arrest warrants in Cache County, individuals can

Use the free statewide Warrants Search tool (formally called the Utah Statewide Warrants file (SWW))
Request records kept by courts, or
Visit a local law enforcement department, such as the Cache County Sheriff’s Office.

Commonly, a case number or name is required for a search.

Agency / Resource	Purpose	Search Methods	Notes
Law enforcement in Cache County	Responsible for warrant execution	In person	Active warrant searches at a police station or headquarters can result in an arrest if a warrant is found
Utah Statewide Warrants File	Statewide warrants repository	Online	Caution is advised when viewing data from the system, as accuracy is dependent on timely updates of records within the court system
Cache County courts	Primary issuer of warrants	Online, in person, by phone, via mail	Under URCRP Rule 6(f), the clerk of the court is required to enter each issued warrant into the court information management system.

How to Find Arrest Records for Free in Cache County

Options for finding arrest information for free in Cache County include

Courthouse Public Terminals: Inspecting criminal court records in person using the free public Xchange terminals located at local courthouses.
Statewide Case Search Portals: Accessing the free MyCase system on the state judiciary’s website. Notably, complimentary access is strictly limited to the participants of the case.
Jail Record Queries: Contacting the county jail administration directly—although any public arrest data shared through this method only pertains to the individuals presently in custody.

Generally, record inspection is entirely free under GRAMA, but any records request that requires official duplication, printing, or copying of files attracts reasonable fees set by state statute or internal agency policies.

Cache County Arrest Report

Under Utah law (GRAMA), the primary document detailing an arrest event is the Initial Contact Report (Utah Code § 63G-2-103(16)). The report, which includes a peace officer’s initial written narrative and scene descriptions, may be regarded as an arrest report in other jurisdictions. However, while many jurisdictions categorize this document as confidential, it is explicitly classified as a public-facing document in Utah—and therefore operates the same way in Cache County.

The law also describes arrest records—which summarize arrests into key points, such as the who, what, when, and why of an arrest—as Chronological Logs. These logs or records are also public in Utah (§ 63G-2-103(3)).

What the Utah legislature distinguishes as confidential or private is any Follow-up or Investigative Reports compiled by detectives or officers after the initial contact report. Information ordinarily stated in the initial contact report that also appears in follow-up or investigative reports may only receive confidential treatment if such information is considered private, controlled, protected, or exempt from disclosure under § 63G-2-201(3)(b) (that is, where access is restricted by court rule, another state statute, federal statute, or federal regulation).

How to Get an Arrest Record Expunged in Cache County

An expungement is a legal remedy offered to former criminal defendants that clears (seals or otherwise restricts) their criminal records, including arrest, investigation, detention, and conviction records, from public view. After an expungement, no one can access the records without judicial permission; the record owner can state that the arrest (or conviction) never occurred, and government bodies will also state the same.

In Utah, an expungement is available only to parties who meet the state’s eligibility criteria. Anyone seeking to get an arrest record expunged in Cache County must either qualify for adult record expungement (Utah Code, Title 77, Chapter 40a) or juvenile record expungement (Utah Code, Title 80, Chapter 6, Part 10).

Eligible adults can get their arrest records expunged automatically under the state’s Clean Slate framework (Utah Code § 77-40a-204). Under this system, no particular action is required from defendants, and the court identifies and expunges eligible cases based on certain parameters. (Between October 1, 2024, and December 31, 2025, defendants had to manually file a form to trigger automatic expungement.) Courts can also automatically expunge successful nonjudicial adjustments for juvenile cases (Utah Code § 80-6-1004.5).

Otherwise, individuals can try filing a petition for expungement with the court. The statutory fee for a petition for expungement is $150 for district courts and $135 for justice courts (Utah Code §§ 78A-2-301(1)(i), 78A-2-301.5(3)).

However, unless filing for a traffic or cannabis expungement, one must first request a Certificate of Eligibility (see FAQs) from the BCI before petitioning the court. The application fee is $65, and if the BCI affirms eligibility, no other fee is charged for certificate(s) for dismissals, acquittals, or declinations (such as arrests with unfiled charges). An additional $65 fee applies for convictions, pleas in abeyance, and special certificates. The court-specific forms and guidelines thereafter depend on whether the BCI sends back a Certificate of Eligibility or a Special Certificate.

Note: The filing court is the one where the criminal or delinquency case was filed. If that court no longer exists, the proper venue is the court that would have jurisdiction over the case if the case were filed on the day the petition was submitted. If charges were never filed, the venue is the district court in the county where the arrest occurred or the citation was issued (Utah Code §§ 77-40a-305, 80-6-1001.2).

Information Specific to Adult Arrest Expungements in Cache County

For adult arrestees, the overall qualifications to initiate an expungement are as follows:

The case is completely over.
The defendant has paid all corresponding fines, fees, restitution, and interest.
The defendant does not have any pending criminal cases, excluding a traffic case.
The defendant is not presently incarcerated, on parole, or on probation.
The defendant has no criminal protective order, civil protective order, or stalking injunction against them in effect.

The following timelines and criteria apply specifically to arrest records under Utah Code 77-40a-302:

Condition	Criteria for Filing a Petition
No charges filed	Can file after at least 30 days have lapsed since the arrest, and The prosecutor made a final decision not to file charges
Charges filed but case dismissed with prejudice	Can file after at least 30 days have lapsed since the arrest If a plea in abeyance was entered, ensure the case is actually dismissed; a Motion to Dismiss may be necessary
Charges filed but case dismissed without prejudice	Can file after at least 30 days have lapsed since the arrest, and Either the prosecutor consents to the expungement in writing, or at least 180 days have lapsed since the dismissal
Charges filed but defendant acquitted	Can file after at least 30 days have lapsed since the arrest

Utah’s expungement laws regarding arrests are quite broad but also extremely specific to the outcome of the case. As a result, this guide is not all-encompassing as to all eligible record types in Cache County, such as convictions. Comprehensive information about adult & juvenile expungements in Utah, as well as the necessary forms, should be sourced directly from the judiciary’s Expungements page.

How Do You Remove Cache County Arrest Records From the Internet?

When dealing with arrest records listed on the internet, the most recommended route for removal is to seek an expungement from the court system. Here’s why: An expungement orders an arrest or conviction to be cleared from public view, affecting government-held files and databases in a bid to remove liabilities or barriers that may have affected the defendant because of the arrest. Without an expungement order, an arrest or conviction remains on the defendant's record.

Admittedly, government agencies are not the only parties that post arrest records online—several commercial databases also publish such information on publicly accessible systems. To delist or remove arrest data from third-party platforms, individuals can send opt-out requests to the websites. It is advised to communicate specific case metrics (e.g., a name or case number) or attach a redacted copy of the expungement order, ensuring that highly sensitive identifiers, like Social Security numbers, are completely blacked out.

Notably, while an expungement order proves a state-level public record restriction, it is not universally binding on private data aggregators under Utah law, and no specific provision of the law mandates commercial websites to remove matching historical data. However, reputable third-party databases process these opt-out requests as a professional courtesy, enabling the requester to restore their online privacy.
