South Salt Lake Quick Facts
South Salt Lake Police Department
The South Salt Lake Police Department covers the full city along the busy I-15 and I-80 corridor. It is a stand alone city force, not part of the unified system. Officers book every arrest into the Salt Lake County Metro Jail nearby. The department is at 3365 South 900 West, South Salt Lake, UT 84119. You can view the force at sslc.gov/police-department.
SSLPD takes GRAMA requests for police reports, crash files, and arrest logs. State law under Utah Code Title 63G Chapter 2 (GRAMA) sets what the city can share. Most replies come back within ten business days. Some files pull longer for active cases.
The South Salt Lake city government site at sslc.gov shown above does not run an inmate list. It points users to the county and state for jail data. That is the right path for most people seeking South Salt Lake released inmates info.
Where South Salt Lake Arrestees Go
Every person arrested by SSLPD goes to the Salt Lake County Metro Jail at 3415 South 900 West. That puts the jail just down the road from the South Salt Lake police station. Some move to the Oxbow Jail on the same grounds. The Salt Lake County Sheriff runs both sites. You can reach jail staff at (385) 468-8400 any hour.
South Salt Lake released inmates leave the jail after bail, case dismissal, time served, or release on own recognizance. The live roster drops their name once they walk out. For that reason, fast checks help when you track a release. Try the site a few times a day for new cases.
The main county booking tool lives at saltlakecounty.gov/sheriff/corrections/find. You can search by first name, last name, or book number. The page shows charge, bond, and court date. It does not save past bookings after release.
Note: Sheriff records for South Salt Lake released inmates fall under Utah Code Title 17 Chapter 22, which sets jail log duties.
