Search Rich County Police Records
Rich County Police Records are built around a small but organized sheriff's office in Randolph, where dispatch, jail, records, and civil process all sit close together. That is helpful when you want a booking note, a custody check, or a place to ask for a county report without getting bounced between departments. The sheriff page lists several direct phone lines, and the county directory shows who handles other offices that can matter when a record touches property, civil work, or older county paperwork. Start local, keep the request specific, and use the county's own contacts before you move to state tools.
Rich County Quick Facts
Rich County Police Records Office
The Rich County Sheriff's Office is the main stop for Rich County Police Records. Sheriff Dale Stacey's office keeps the public contact path short. Main dispatch and jail can be reached at (435) 793-2285, while the records, civil process, and office secretary line is (435) 222-5977. The jail commander, head dispatcher, and sex registry line is (435) 222-5976, and the alternate dispatch and jail line for Garden City and Laketown is (435) 946-3210. That gives the county a clear public safety map.
The sheriff office address is P.O. Box 38, Randolph, UT 84064, with fax (435) 793-3122. Rich County also notes a records request form updated in June 2025. That detail matters because it shows the county is still maintaining its public records path, not leaving the public to guess which desk owns a file. If you need to ask about a recent event, the records desk is the first call. If you need to sort out a jail question, the main dispatch line is usually faster. Either way, the county keeps the paths separate enough to be useful.
The Rich County sheriff page is shown below because it brings the county's main police-records contact points together on one page.
That sheriff page is the right starting point for Rich County Police Records because it ties dispatch, records, jail, and civil process into one local office structure.

Rich County Police Records Requests
Rich County keeps its request language close to the sheriff's office, which helps when you want a public record and do not want to chase a generic form. The sheriff page says forms are available, including a records request that was updated in June 2025. That suggests the county expects a direct, documented ask. If you need Rich County Police Records, keep the request narrow and give the office the facts it needs to find the right file.
The most useful details are plain. Use the name, the date, the type of record, and any incident or booking number you already know. If the request touches a report, ask for the report. If it touches custody, ask for booking or jail information. If it is about a civil process matter, make that clear so the sheriff's office can route it correctly. Rich County is small, but a clean request still saves time.
The county's records work also sits inside Utah's public-record law. The state GRAMA page at Utah Code Title 63G, Chapter 2 explains the balance between access and privacy. That law matters when the county needs to redact part of a record or hold back a protected section. It does not block the search. It just means the county reviews what it can release before it sends anything out.
The Utah GRAMA page is shown below because it is the state rule set that guides Rich County's records responses.
That Utah GRAMA image is a clean fit for Rich County because the sheriff's office uses the same public-record rules as the rest of the state.
When you write the request, keep the ask short and exact. That helps the records desk work through it faster and lowers the chance that staff have to call back for more detail.
- Full name of the person or case
- Approximate date and location
- Record type, such as report, booking note, or custody check
- Best phone number or email for follow-up
Note: Rich County Police Records requests tend to move faster when the request names the right office and gives one clear date range instead of a broad story.
Rich County Police Records and County Offices
Rich County's directory page is useful when a police-record search spills into another office. The directory lists Auditor/Clerk Anneliesa Peart, Recorder & Surveyor Kaia Bowden, and other county departments that may touch property, civil work, or older public paperwork. That matters because a police record sometimes overlaps with another county file. If the matter involves a property line, a civil process, or a county document trail, the directory can tell you which office is the right next stop.
The county directory at richcounty.gov/county-directory/ is not a police report system, but it is part of the search path. When a record is not with the sheriff, knowing who handles the clerk or recorder side can keep you from wasting time. Rich County is small enough that the office list is practical rather than decorative. It shows the county's structure, and that structure helps you trace records that move across offices.
Rich County police work also includes civil process, which is listed with the records desk. That tells you the sheriff office is not only dealing with arrests and custody. It also handles document service and some of the paper trail around a local case. If your search reaches that lane, use the sheriff's records line first and then the county directory if the matter points to another office.
The county directory is especially helpful if the file you need is tied to land or a local county document. In a small county, the right office can be the difference between a quick answer and a long delay.
State Help for Rich County Police Records
When a Rich County search needs a broader state-level answer, Utah has several official tools that fit the job. The Utah State Courts site at utcourts.gov is useful if a local arrest becomes a case file or if you need to see where a court matter landed after the county record was created. It is the best official bridge between a county report and the court side of the record.
The Utah State Archives at archives.utah.gov can help if the record you need is older and no longer sits in the active county office. That is not a first stop for a fresh report, but it is valuable when the county says a file has moved. If your search becomes a criminal-history question, the Bureau of Criminal Identification pages at bci.utah.gov/criminal-records/ and expungementstatus.utah.gov can help with state-level history and status checking. Those tools do not replace Rich County Police Records, but they do round out the search.
The Utah Courts page is shown below because it is the official place to trace a county police matter once it turns into a court file.
That courts image is useful when a Rich County booking or report moves into a public court case and you need the next official step.
For Rich County, the clean sequence is simple. Start with the sheriff, use the county directory if the file points to another office, and move to Utah's state tools only when the record trail goes beyond the county desk. That keeps the search local, and it keeps the paperwork in the right order.
