Arrest Records in Cache County
An arrest creates connected records under different custodians. The officer's agency creates the incident report and probable-cause material. Cache County Jail creates intake, booking, custody, and release data. Fingerprints can link the event to the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification. Prosecutors decide whether to file charges, and only then does a district or justice court case begin. The arrest charge, filed charge, and final result may all differ.
Cache County Sheriff's Office handles events in the unincorporated county, contract work, and jail operations. Logan Police, North Park Police, Smithfield Police, Utah State University Police, Utah Highway Patrol, and other Cache County municipal agencies create their own reports. Request the report from the agency named in the jail or court entry. No countywide police-report pool combines them.
Cache County Arrest Roster Fallback
The official Cache County Current Inmate List and 30-day Bookings Roster were unavailable when researched. Both are labeled unofficial, meaning they are for information and are not guaranteed complete or accurate. Call the Cache County Jail information line at 435-755-1227 with the full name and an approximate booking date. An empty or broken web page is not proof that no arrest or custody record exists.
The official Cache County Jail page is the starting point for the roster and jail contact. For an authoritative copy, request jail records under GRAMA. After a prison commitment or for public probation or parole status, search the Utah Department of Corrections separately. Federal custody requires a separate federal check.
Note: The Cache County public jail list expressly excludes Utah state and federal inmates housed at the facility.
Cache County Arrest Lookups
No single screen supplies a complete Cache County arrest history. Work from the most recent custody signal toward the official report and case result. Keep the name, date, agency, and incident or case number together so that similar names do not merge into one record.
- Check the official current-inmate and 30-day booking links, then call 435-755-1227 at once if the roster remains offline.
- Review the sheriff's official incidents blotter, while treating its booking content as unofficial and time-limited.
- Identify the arresting agency and request its incident or arrest report through that agency's records officer.
- Search Utah Courts Xchange under both district and justice jurisdictions after charges could have been filed.
- For your own fingerprint-based Utah history, submit BCI Right of Access with fingerprints, photo identification, and the $20 fee.
- Use a specific GRAMA request by email, mail, or at the Cache County sheriff's counter when online channels do not supply an authoritative record.
Each step answers a narrower question. A jail call confirms custody, an agency report describes the event, Xchange shows filed charges and disposition, and BCI supplies the subject's Utah repository record.
Cache County Arrest Agency Routes
The agency on the record controls the first report request. Cache County Sheriff's Records Department is at 1225 West Valley View, Suite 200, Logan, Utah 84321. Logan Police is at 290 North 100 West. North Park Police serves North Logan and Hyde Park from 2005 North 1200 East. Smithfield Police uses a mandatory city form and receives police mail at 55 East 100 South. USU Police handles campus events from 1250 North 850 East.
| Arresting agency | Record route | Contact clue |
|---|---|---|
| Cache County Sheriff | Sheriff GRAMA form | 435-755-1000; recordsrequest@cachesheriff.gov |
| Logan Police | City police records officer | Use the official Logan Police records page |
| North Park Police | Regional police/city GRAMA route | Verify the current records line with North Logan |
| Smithfield Police | Mandatory PD GRAMA form | police@smithfieldutah.gov |
| USU Police | Campus police records channel | 435-797-1939 |
| Utah Highway Patrol | Utah DPS GRAMA or crash channel | Use the agency shown in the booking or case |
A Logan arrest can require three checks: the city police report, the Cache County booking record, and the state court case. These are separate records, not duplicate copies.
Arrest Records: What They Contain
A Cache County arrest report commonly states the report number, date, time, place, officer, agency, legal basis or warrant, alleged law, identifiers, event narrative, witnesses, evidence, and transport. Booking adds intake data created by the jail. Public copies can redact protected victim, witness, and minor details as well as medical, financial, and other sensitive identifiers. An active report stays closed until the agency clears it.
| Report or Jail Identifier | Connects the police event or jail intake to the custodian's file. |
|---|---|
| Arrest Date and Place | States when and where custody began, subject to correction. |
| Arresting Agency | Identifies the office that holds the incident report. |
| Initial Charges | Shows allegations at intake, which prosecutors may amend or decline. |
| Custody and Bond | May show holds, release conditions, housing, transfer, or release status. |
| Fingerprint and Photo | Created during intake, but Utah's current rule bars distribution of the booking photo. |
| Release or Transfer | Records the end or change of Cache County custody, not the court's final disposition. |
Do not infer an exact bond type, judge, housing unit, or physical description from an unavailable roster. Confirm those details in the official jail record or court order.
Cache County Arrest Report Requests
The Sheriff's Administrative Division Records Department accepts requests at its counter from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., by email at recordsrequest@cachesheriff.gov, or by mail with the official form and notarized identity form. Describe the report or jail date range with reasonable detail. State whether inspection or a copy is sought and include any access basis for private material. Processing may take up to ten working days.

Counter: 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Incident and traffic-accident reports cost $10. Jail records cost $10 per 25 pages, prorated. The office accepts cash, Visa, Mastercard, and Discover, but not personal checks. Published card tiers overlap, so confirm the processing charge before payment. A completed record not picked up within 60 days is destroyed without a refund.
Recent Cache County Bookings
The sheriff's official incidents and 30-day bookings page is useful for a recent lead, but it is not an authoritative full history. The roster can change after release, transfer, or correction. Its own terms warn that completeness and accuracy are not guaranteed. Use the jail phone line and a formal Cache County jail-record request when the answer needs confirmation.
A Cache County booking sequence includes transport, identity and legal-authority checks, property inventory, health screening, fingerprints, a jail identifier, initial charges or holds, classification, housing, early court review, and eventual release or transfer. Exact timing and release terms belong in the jail record or signed court order. The online roster cannot establish whether the prosecutor later filed the same charge.
Cache County Booking Photo Rule
Utah changed access to booking photographs in 2021 through H.B. 228, the Jail Photo Distribution Prohibition. Cache County Jail states that it no longer distributes jail or booking photos. Older terms that refer to a signed photo-download process and Utah Code ยง17-22-30 should not be treated as a current channel. The arrest search can still yield record facts without making a person's image public.
This page republishes no booking photos and no names from the roster. The lawful route is to use official logs for a record lead, then confirm the report, filed case, or custody status with the responsible agency. Photo absence does not make the booking false, and a historic linked image does not override the current no-distribution notice.
Cache County Arrests and BCI
At booking, fingerprints can tie an arrest cycle to Utah BCI. A cycle may include the arrest agency, arrest charge, court tracking, reported disposition, sentence, custody, and supervision. Gaps can arise from missing fingerprints, unmatched identifiers, reporting delays, or a disposition that was not reported. BCI's repository record is therefore not interchangeable with the Cache County jail list or court docket.
Utah has no unrestricted public BCI name search. A person can review their own Utah record through BCI Right of Access with a fingerprint card, identification, and a $20 fee. A person who finds an error can use BCI's Record Challenge Request. Cache County Jail's fingerprint machine was out of order during research, so the official local lead was USU Police by appointment at 435-797-1939.
The VINELink custody notification service supplies a separate supported notification route.
Notifications can help track supported custody changes, but they do not replace the Cache County jail record or court disposition.
Arrest Records vs Conviction Records
Custody and guilt are distinct legal events. An arresting agency or jail records the arrest and booking. A court creates a conviction record only after a guilty plea or finding and judgment. The prosecutor may decline the initial allegation, change a charge, or file no case. A filed count may later be dismissed or end in acquittal. Use the Cache County court case lookup to trace a booking allegation to the actual docket and disposition.
| Point | Arrest record | Conviction record |
|---|---|---|
| Creator | Police agency and jail | District or justice court |
| Meaning | Custody and an alleged offense | Judgment of guilt on a filed charge |
| Best source | Agency report and jail record | Xchange docket and signed judgment |
| Possible end | Release, transfer, or no filing | Sentence, appeal, or lawful expungement |
Note: An arrest is not proof of guilt, and an initial Cache County booking charge may never become a conviction.
