Booking Reports for St. George

St. George booking reports are public records that document arrests made by the St. George Police Department. St. George is the largest city in Washington County, with a fast-growing population in southwest Utah. People arrested by St. George police are taken to the Washington County Jail at 620 S 5300 W in Hurricane. Booking reports from St. George list the charges, arrest date, and the name of the person booked. You can look up these records through county jail resources or by filing a request with the city.

How St. George Booking Reports Are Created

The St. George Police Department is based at 265 N 200 E in St. George, UT 84770. You can reach them at (435) 627-4300. Officers patrol the city and make arrests for crimes that range from theft to assault to drug offenses. After an arrest, the officer transports the person to the Washington County Jail in Hurricane.

At the jail, staff log the intake and create a booking report. The report records the person's full name, date of birth, charges, and the time of booking. It also lists St. George Police as the arresting agency. The jail holds these records and shares them with the public as allowed by Utah law.

St. George sees a steady flow of arrests due to its size and growth. The city sits along Interstate 15 near the Arizona border. This location brings both local and transient crime. Each arrest that results in a jail booking produces a report that you can look up later.

Note: Not every arrest in St. George leads to a jail booking. Some people receive a citation and are released at the scene.

St. George Records and GRAMA Requests

St. George is subject to the Government Records Access and Management Act, known as GRAMA. This is Utah Code Title 63G, Chapter 2. You can read the full law at Utah Code 63G-2.

After that, the city may charge a fee based on staff time and copy costs.

Contents of a St. George Booking Report

Each booking report from a St. George arrest follows a standard format. The jail staff fill in the details at the time of intake. A typical St. George booking report includes the person's name, date of birth, and physical description. It also lists the charges, the arresting agency, and the date and time of the booking.

Booking reports are not the same as court records. A booking report shows what happened at the time of arrest. It does not show whether the person was convicted or what sentence they received. Court records from the Fifth District Court in St. George cover case outcomes for local arrests. Booking reports are one piece of the picture, not the whole story.

The charges on a booking report may change after the case goes to court. A prosecutor may add charges, drop some, or change the level of the offense. The booking report reflects the initial charges at the time of arrest only.
