Clearfield Justice Court Criminal Records

Clearfield Police Records and Arrest Data
The Clearfield Police Department is the primary law enforcement agency for the city. It works alongside the Davis County Sheriff's Office for county-level matters. Police records maintained by the Clearfield Police Department include arrest records, incident reports, mugshots, and booking records. These are distinct from criminal court records held by the courts. GRAMA governs public access to all of them. Requests can be made in person or by phone through the records division. Response time runs 5 to 10 business days.
The Public Record Center's Clearfield page provides a directory of local public record sources for Clearfield criminal court records, arrest data, and related information.
Clearfield arrest records show booking details, charges alleged, and arrest dates. They do not include court outcomes or case dispositions. For that information, use XChange or contact the district court clerk. The Davis County Jail and Detention Center is located nearby and handles bookings for Clearfield arrests that result in county detention. Some records may be withheld if they are part of an active case or otherwise protected under GRAMA.
BCI Statewide Criminal Records for Clearfield Residents
The Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification maintains the most thorough source of criminal history information in Utah.

The BCI can be reached at bci.utah.gov/criminal-records or by phone at 801-965-4445. As of July 2025, individual reports cost $20.
The Utah BCI criminal records page at bci.utah.gov explains the process for requesting a criminal history report, what the report includes, and how to submit a request by mail or in person.
BCI reports include felonies, misdemeanors, dismissed cases, and all other court dispositions recorded across Utah. Clearfield residents who want a full record check rather than searching individual cases through XChange should request a BCI report. The report covers the individual's entire Utah history, drawn from all jurisdictions in the state.

Expungement of Clearfield Criminal Records
Utah's Clean Slate law allows for automatic expungement of certain criminal records after a waiting period without new convictions. Not all offenses qualify. Charges that do not qualify under Clean Slate require a manual petition. Learn about automatic eligibility at cleanslateutah.org.
Clearfield residents seeking expungement for records not covered by Clean Slate must petition the Second District Court. The BCI must issue a certificate of eligibility before the court accepts a petition. Visit bci.utah.gov/expungements for eligibility details and instructions. Once a Clearfield criminal court record is expunged, it is sealed from public view and no longer appears in XChange searches or on BCI reports issued to the public.
