The Davis County jail roster is a publicly accessible record of individuals currently held at the Davis County Jail in Utah. DavisCourt.us can help you find publicly available information about current and recent inmates. You can also access jail roster information through the Davis County Sheriff's Office inmate roster page, by visiting the jail in person, or by calling the facility directly. A jail roster search lets the public confirm whether someone is in custody, view current charges, and check booking details. The Davis County Sheriff's Office maintains the roster as part of its commitment to government transparency, and the online roster is updated regularly to reflect current custody status.
Search Current Inmates in Davis County Jail
There are several ways to look up someone currently held at the Davis County Jail.
Online Search
- Visit the Davis County Sheriff's Office Inmate Roster.
- The roster displays a browsable list of all individuals currently in custody.
- Use your browser's built-in find function (Ctrl+F on Windows or Cmd+F on Mac) to search for a specific name on the page.
- Click on an inmate's name to view additional details such as charges and booking information.
You can also search for publicly available court-related information through DavisCourt.us.
To begin a search, you will need:
- The individual's full legal name (first and last name)
- A booking number, if known
Juvenile offenders are not listed on the public roster.
If someone has been transferred to state custody, use the Utah Department of Corrections Offender Search tool instead. For related court case information, the Utah Courts Xchange public case search covers district and justice court records statewide.
By Phone
Call the Davis County Jail directly to ask whether a specific person is currently in custody. Be prepared to provide the individual's full legal name and date of birth.
In Person
You can inquire about current inmates at the jail's public lobby during regular business hours.
Find Davis County Jail Booking Records Online
A booking record is created each time an individual is processed into the Davis County Jail. During booking, jail staff collect identifying information and document the circumstances of the arrest. A booking record typically includes:
- Booking number
- Date and time of booking
- Charges at the time of booking
- Arresting agency
- Inmate's name, date of birth, and physical description
- Mugshot
The most straightforward way to access current booking records is through the online inmate roster. Each listing on the roster includes basic booking details for individuals who are presently in custody.
For records that are no longer displayed on the active roster — such as those for individuals who have been released — you may need to submit a formal records request. Davis County handles public records requests under Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA). The Davis County Clerk's public records request page provides instructions for submitting a GRAMA request. The Sheriff's Office also maintains archived booking and arrest records through the Utah Division of Archives.
If you need a criminal history report rather than a single booking record, the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification offers Right of Access searches for a fee.
Search the Davis County Jail Roster by Last Name or Booking Number
The Davis County inmate roster supports two practical ways to locate someone:
Search by Last Name
- Open the inmate roster page.
- Use your browser's find function (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F) and type the person's last name.
- If you get multiple results, add the first name to narrow it down.
Tips:
- Use the exact legal spelling of the name. Nicknames and shortened versions may not match.
- If you are unsure of the spelling, try entering just the first few letters of the last name.
- Hyphenated or multi-part last names may be listed under either component.
Search by Booking Number
If you already have a booking number — from a bail bondsman, attorney, or prior search — enter it in the browser find function to jump directly to that record.
No Results?
If your search returns nothing, consider these possibilities:
- The person may have already been released. The roster only shows individuals currently in custody.
- The person may have been booked under a different name or legal alias.
- Booking may still be in progress. New arrests can take time to appear on the roster.
- The individual may have been transferred to state prison. Try the Utah Department of Corrections offender search.
- You can also check for active Utah warrants if you believe someone may be wanted but not yet in custody.
Jail Roster Updates and Search Limitations in Davis County
The Davis County inmate roster is updated on a regular basis to reflect current jail population. While the roster aims to stay current, there are practical limitations users should be aware of:
- Processing delays: After an arrest, it can take several hours for an individual to be fully booked and appear on the roster. During busy periods or overnight, this delay may be longer.
- Release timing: Once an inmate is released — whether on bail, by court order, or after serving a sentence — their record is typically removed from the roster. This can happen quickly, sometimes within minutes of release.
- Current custody only: The online roster is not an archive. It reflects who is in the jail right now, not a historical record of everyone who has ever been booked. If you need older booking records, submit a GRAMA request through the Davis County Clerk's Office.
- Data entry variations: Names may occasionally appear with slight misspellings or formatting differences. If you cannot find someone, try alternate spellings or contact the jail by phone.
- Restricted records: Certain records — including those involving juveniles, sealed cases, or specific law enforcement operations — will not appear on the public roster regardless of timing.
