American Fork Quick Facts
American Fork Arrest and Booking
The American Fork Police Department handles law enforcement across the city. Officers patrol neighborhoods, respond to calls, and make arrests when needed. After an arrest in American Fork, the officer brings the person to the Utah County Jail. The jail is the central booking facility for all of Utah County. American Fork does not have its own holding facility, so every arrest goes through the county system.
At the jail, staff process the booking. They take the person's photo, record their name and birth date, and log all charges from the American Fork arrest. The booking record also shows the time and date of intake, the arresting agency, and a booking number. This data goes into the Utah County inmate system right away. The 72 hour booking window starts at this point, giving prosecutors time to file formal charges or the jail must let the person go.
