South Jordan Booking Reports Process
When South Jordan police arrest someone, they transport the person to the Salt Lake County Metro Jail. The jail is at 3415 S 900 W in South Salt Lake. All cities in Salt Lake County use this same facility. The trip from South Jordan to the jail takes about 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic.
At the jail, staff log the arrest and create the booking report. They record the person's name, date of birth, charges, and the agency that made the arrest. For South Jordan arrests, the report shows the South Jordan Police Department. The booking report becomes a public record once it is created.
The booking report is separate from the police report. The police report has more detail about what happened before the arrest. The booking report focuses on the intake process at the jail. Both are public records in most cases, but you get them from different places.
Note: Some arrests in South Jordan may involve the Utah Highway Patrol or other agencies. In those cases, the booking report lists the arresting agency, not the city.
