They take a photo and collect prints. They log the charges and note the time. All of this goes into the 72 hour booking record.
Utah law sets rules for how bookings work. Under Utah Code Title 77, officers must follow set steps when they arrest and book a person. The 72 hour window is key. It is the time frame in which a person must see a judge after their arrest. This makes the booking record a time-bound document. It shows who was held, why, and when they were brought in. In Beaver County, most bookings are for low-level crimes like DUI, theft, or drug charges. Serious cases go to the district court for review.
After the booking, the jail sets bail based on the charges. Some people post bail and leave the same day. Others stay until they see a judge. The Beaver County Justice Court handles most of the first hearings for people booked into the county jail.
