Search Davis County Inmate Roster
The Davis County inmate roster is online and free to search. You can look up a person by first name, last name, or booking number. A middle name helps narrow the list if the name is common. The roster shows age, gender, booking number, booking date and time, arresting agency, housing unit, charges with statute codes, and bond info. Once a person is released, they drop from the roster, so capture the data you need the same day.
The Davis County roster was redesigned in recent years. The new layout hides middle names on the main page, no longer shows court info, and lists the state statute for each charge. Booking photos are not publicly shown. An overlay box uses jQuery to show more details when you click. A terms of use button explains the booking photo and privacy rules.
To search Davis County released inmates, have the following ready:
- First name and last name
- Booking number if known
- Rough date of arrest
Note: Released inmates drop off the online roster, so for past records you must file a GRAMA request.
