Roy City Police Records and Arrest Information
The Roy City Police Department maintains arrest records, incident reports, and booking records for the city. These records are separate from criminal court records held by the courts. GRAMA applies to all of them. To request police records, submit a written GRAMA request to Roy City Corporation. The City Recorder's office processes these requests and responds within 10 business days as a standard timeline.
GRAMA requests can be submitted in three ways. By email, send to admin@royutah.org. By mail, write to Roy City Corporation, Attn: City Recorder, 5051 South 1900 West, Roy, Utah 84067. For hand delivery, go to the City Recorder's Office at that same address. You can also call (801) 774-1021 for questions. Your request must include a description of the records with reasonable specificity, your name, mailing address, and a daytime phone number. You may specify whether you want to inspect records or receive copies and can set a cost limit for copies.
Note: Some records may be classified as private, protected, or controlled under GRAMA, particularly those tied to active law enforcement investigations.

When submitting a GRAMA request in Roy, identify the correct agency for the records you need. Court records go through the Second District Court or the justice court.

BCI Statewide Criminal Records for Roy Residents
The Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification at bci.utah.gov/criminal-records maintains a statewide criminal history database covering every Utah court. A BCI report gives a full picture of someone's Utah criminal record across all jurisdictions, not just Roy or Weber County. The BCI can be reached by phone at 801-965-4445. As of July 2025, individual reports cost $20.
BCI reports include felonies, misdemeanors, dismissed charges, and all other case dispositions on file in Utah. Roy residents can submit a request by mail or in person. The report covers the person's entire Utah record, so it is the most complete option when a comprehensive background is needed rather than a single-case lookup.
Expungement of Roy Criminal Records
Utah's Clean Slate law allows for automatic expungement of certain qualifying records after a waiting period with no new convictions. More serious charges do not qualify for automatic clearing and require a manual petition. Learn more at cleanslateutah.org.
For records not covered by Clean Slate, Roy residents can petition for expungement at the Second District Court. The BCI must issue a certificate of eligibility first. Visit bci.utah.gov/expungements for eligibility rules and steps. After a Roy criminal court record is expunged, it is sealed from public view and removed from XChange and BCI reports.
Utah DOC Offender Search
The Utah Department of Corrections offender search at corrections.utah.gov allows public lookups of individuals in state prisons or under probation and parole supervision. This is a separate tool from Roy criminal court records but helps confirm current custody or supervision status for anyone with a Utah conviction.
