Davis County Three-Day Release Window
A three-day list would normally let a reader browse everyone whose jail custody ended during a rolling 72-hour span. The Davis County Sheriff's Office offers no such page. Its official inmate roster has no release filter, release-date column, archive, or stated retention period for names that disappear. Page counts and older booking dates still represent current inmates, not past exits.
The lack of a public feed changes the correct method. Choose the exact start and end of the 72-hour period, identify the person and known booking episode, and ask the sheriff for the retained record. A date range is vital when the interval crosses more than one calendar day. The answer should distinguish community release from transfer, because both can remove a name from the county roster.
Check Davis County Three-Day Releases
Use the last known roster entry as the starting point. Its name number, exact booking time, arresting agency, charge data, and case clues narrow the request. If the person is no longer present, note the first time the absence was observed. That interval helps the records office locate the relevant episode but does not itself establish a release time.
- Search the current Davis County roster and save all identifiers tied to the matching booking.
- Set a precise three-day date range, including the year and the beginning and ending dates.
- Use the county GRAMA request page or NextRequest to ask for the booking and release record for that interval.
- Request actual release date and time, authority or disposition, and any transfer destination if maintained and public.
- Check Xchange or the proper court clerk for the order, judgment, bail change, dismissal, or warrant action behind the event.
- If the record names UDC, another jail, BOP, USMS, or ICE, confirm continued custody with that receiving system.
The Released Last 24 Hours page is the closer fit when the question concerns today alone. The three-day method is designed to preserve the full interval rather than guess which day contained the change.
Davis County 72-Hour Record Fields
No online Davis County table supplies the fields of a 72-hour release feed. The useful field set must be requested from the retained custody record. The agency decides what exists, what is public, and what must be redacted. Keep the request tied to a named booking rather than seeking a broad narrative about the person.
| Field to request | Purpose in a three-day review |
|---|---|
| Booked name and name number | Connects the response to the correct identity and episode |
| Booking or admission time | Separates an older stay from the target period |
| Actual release date and time | Places the custody end within or outside the 72-hour window |
| Release category or authority | Shows bail, court order, commitment completion, or another basis |
| Court or case number | Routes the reader to the legal source for the change |
| Receiving or transfer agency | Distinguishes community return from continued confinement |
A charge-level disposition on the live roster is not necessarily the custody-release type. Likewise, a court order can authorize release without recording the actual jail exit. Compare the sheriff record and court history. If another authority took custody, its record supplies the next stage.
Note: Ask for fields that the agency maintains; GRAMA does not require staff to create a custom three-day release list.
Davis Weekend Release Verification
A 72-hour span is especially useful when a name is seen Friday and is gone Monday. The jail and eligible bail processing continue even when an administrative records office is closed. Yet the gap can reflect several events: bond, a court order, completion of a commitment, transfer, a merged record, or a technical correction. The weekend itself does not resolve which one occurred.
Record the last roster time stamp that showed the person and the first time the person was absent. Then request the actual event for the full span. The Utah Courts Xchange record may contain a minute entry, bail order, judgment, dismissal, commitment, or warrant action. Public courthouse terminals offer another access route. The jail record remains necessary for physical processing time.
Holidays create the same proof issue. A court or records counter may have limited access while jail operations continue. VINE may send a person-specific custody notice if the contributing record is available, but Davis-specific participation was not independently verified. Treat a notice as prompt corroboration and confirm it with the sheriff or other source agency.
Davis Roster Release Data Quirks
The Davis roster says its current-inmate details update approximately every 15 minutes. That is a refresh statement, not a released-person cadence. A newly absent entry might reflect an event that completed between refreshes, but the public page does not label the time or cause. The roster also states that it is informational and not an official record or legal document.
The captured Davis County roster screen documents the current-custody presentation and the fields available for an initial check.
The screen supports a clear boundary: booking rows, page time, and details can help identify an episode, but none supplies a rolling three-day release record. Save the identifiers before the entry drops away.
Request Davis Three-Day Release Records
A narrow GRAMA request can state: “Please provide the booking and release record for [full name and known name or booking number], booked on or about [date], for the period [start date] through [end date]. Please include the actual release date and time, release authority or type, and receiving or transfer agency if maintained and public.” It may also ask the office to cite the legal classification for anything withheld.
Utah Code § 63G-2-204 requires requester contact information and a reasonably specific record description. The general response period is as soon as reasonably possible and no later than ten business days. A qualifying public-benefit expedited request can have a five-business-day period, while extraordinary circumstances may extend the time with notice. Those are response rules, not promises that a record will be released in full.
The county Records Manager can be reached at GRAMA@DavisCountyUtah.gov or (801) 451-3277. Sheriff administration is at 800 West State Street, Farmington, and can be reached at (801) 451-4100. The sheriff FAQ describes report-form and identification requirements. Published police-report fees should not be assumed for every release-record request; let the responding office quote the actual cost.
Davis Release Sources by Custody
One portal cannot answer every Davis County release question. Pick the system based on who had custody and what fact must be proved. This prevents a missing name in the wrong database from becoming an unsupported conclusion.
| Situation | Best source | What it proves |
|---|---|---|
| Current county jail stay | Davis sheriff roster | Current listed care and custody |
| Past county custody | Sheriff booking and release record | Actual county disposition and processing |
| Legal authority | Xchange or court clerk | Order, judgment, bail, or case disposition |
| State prison or supervision | UDC and Board records | Current incarceration, parole, probation, or Board action |
| Federal prison history | BOP Inmate Locator | Federal release date and BOP status |
| Person-specific notice | Utah VINE | Reported custody event from a participating source |
A UDC match after roster removal may mean transfer to prison or community supervision. A Board date is a legal milestone, not proof of physical exit. BOP does not verify a Davis jail release, and ICE's locator has its own limited coverage. Follow the destination named in the county record.
Juvenile custody has a separate boundary. Farmington Bay Youth Center records are governed by juvenile court and state youth-justice rules, not the adult Davis sheriff roster or public Xchange search. A youth's departure must be checked through an authorized parent, guardian, juvenile court, JJYS, or Youth Parole Authority channel. It should never be added to an adult 72-hour release list assembled from county jail records.
Confirm Davis County Release Outcomes
When records conflict, compare three roles. The jail or prison record establishes the physical custody event. A court or Board order establishes the authority. The receiving or supervising system shows what came next. Agreement across those sources is stronger than any roster disappearance or automated alert.
Terms matter. Bail is conditional pretrial release. Time served means the custodial term ended. Parole is release from state prison to UDC supervision. Probation is court-ordered community supervision and does not show that a prison sentence occurred. A detainer is a hold for another authority. Transfer means custody continued somewhere else.
For a named-person inquiry that extends beyond the three-day interval, use the Davis County released inmate lookup. It follows the county record into the proper court, corrections, supervision, federal, or immigration system without treating a live roster as historical proof.
Note: A three-day interval narrows the search, but only the responsible agency can certify the actual Davis County disposition.
