Draper Quick Facts
Where Draper Released Inmates Are Held
Draper police make arrests but do not run a jail. When someone is booked in Draper, they go to the Salt Lake County Metro Jail. That is the main county lockup. From there, a person can be released on bond, sent to court, or moved to a state prison if the case calls for it. The Draper Police Department handles patrol, reports, and records tied to local cases. You can reach them through the city page.
The Draper Police Department maintains its own records unit. We captured the official police page from the city site so you can see the contact points.
From the police page at draper.ut.us/departments/police-department you can find the records desk, file a GRAMA request, and look up local programs. Records staff can help with copies of police reports tied to Draper released inmates. They will not release open case files under Utah Code § 63G-2-305.
Salt Lake County Jail Roster
The Salt Lake County Metro Jail keeps the active inmate roster. That is the first place to check for a recent Draper booking. The roster lists name, charges, booking date, and bond. When a person is released, the listing drops off within a short time. For a person who spent more than a day or two at the jail, a court filing or news story may still show the case.
Draper city government keeps its own info portal. We also pulled the main Draper city page to show how local services connect to the county system.
The city page at draper.ut.us links to city council, courts, and other offices. For the county jail, head to the Salt Lake County Sheriff site. The Sheriff keeps the online roster and takes phone calls from family members who want to confirm a booking.
Utah DOC Offender Search
Draper is home to the Utah State Prison. The Utah Department of Corrections runs that facility. The DOC also runs an online offender search. It covers people in state custody and those on parole. If a Draper released inmate finished a prison term, the DOC tool will show it. You can search by name at corrections.utah.gov/inmate-services/offender-search.
State prison rules fall under Utah Code Title 64. Parole hearings and supervision come under Title 77 Chapter 27. The Board of Pardons and Parole sets release dates for serious cases. The main DOC office sits in Draper itself. Staff there can answer questions about records requests and visitation.
Note: Only state prison cases show up in the DOC search. County jail bookings will not be in that system.
