Davis County Quick Facts
Davis County Inmate Roster Details
The Davis County Sheriff's Office runs an online inmate roster. It shows who is in the Davis County Jail right now. The roster lists first name, last name, gender, age, booking number, booking date and time, arresting agency, housing unit, and charges. Each charge includes the state statute for that offense.
The roster uses a privacy-first design. It does not show booking photos on the public page. Middle names have been removed from the display to protect privacy. When you click on a name, a detail window opens with more data. A "Terms of Use/Booking Photo Information" button appears in this window. It links to the Davis County records request page where you can file a GRAMA request for photos and other items not shown online. People drop off the roster when they are released from the Davis County Jail.
The system shows inmates in groups of ten. You can search with the name fields or leave them empty to see all current inmates in Davis County. The search works fast and pulls up results right away.
Note: The online roster only shows people who are in jail right now, so released individuals will not appear in the Davis County system.
