Taylorsville Arrest Records Database
Taylorsville arrest records are managed by the Taylorsville Police Department in Salt Lake County. This city of more than 60,000 people is located in the central Salt Lake Valley. The Taylorsville Police Department, known as TVPD, was established in 2021. Before that, the Unified Police Department handled law enforcement for the city. Today, TVPD keeps all arrest records for cases within Taylorsville. You can search for these records through the city's NextRequest portal, state tools, or by filing a written request. This guide covers every method available.
Taylorsville Police Department Records
The Taylorsville Police Department is the city's own police force. TVPD took over from the Unified Police Department in 2021. This means that arrest records from before 2021 may be held by UPD rather than TVPD. Records from 2021 onward are with the Taylorsville police.
Each arrest record from Taylorsville includes the person's name, date of arrest, charges, and the case number. Officers file a report after every arrest. That report goes into the city's records system. Taylorsville uses the NextRequest portal for online records requests. You can submit a GRAMA request through this tool and track the status of your request as it moves through the system.
If you need older records from before 2021, contact the Unified Police Department. They served Taylorsville for years and may still hold those files. TVPD staff can also help point you to the right place if your request falls outside their records.
Searching Taylorsville Arrest Records
NextRequest is the main online tool for Taylorsville records. It lets you submit a request and get updates by email. You describe the record you need, and staff search their files. The system shows you when your request has been received, when it is being worked on, and when it is done.
The image below shows the Utah GRAMA statute, which sets the rules for how Taylorsville handles public records requests.
GRAMA requires all Utah agencies, including Taylorsville, to respond within 10 business days. Most arrest records are public. Some may be held back if they relate to an open case or could put someone at risk. The law also sets fee limits for copies and staff time.
For court records tied to Taylorsville arrests, the Utah Courts XChange portal is the best option. It holds case filings from Salt Lake County courts. You can search by name or case number. Basic data is free. Document copies cost $0.10 per page.
Taylorsville Records Before 2021
The switch from UPD to TVPD matters when you look for arrest records. Any arrest made in Taylorsville before 2021 was handled by the Unified Police Department. UPD is a regional police force that still serves several cities in Salt Lake County. Their records office may have the files you need if the arrest happened before the transition.
After the transition, all new arrests fall under TVPD. The cutover was clean, but some cases that started under UPD may have records in both systems. If you are not sure which agency has your record, start with TVPD. They can tell you if the case predates their department and where to go next.
Arrest Records and Salt Lake County
Taylorsville is part of Salt Lake County. Arrests made by TVPD often result in bookings at the Salt Lake County jail. The jail keeps its own booking records. These are separate from the police report filed by Taylorsville officers. Jail records show the arrest date, charges, bond amount, and release status.
Felony cases from Taylorsville go to the Salt Lake County District Attorney for review. Misdemeanors may be handled in the Taylorsville Justice Court. Both courts maintain their own files. You can search these through the XChange portal or by calling the court clerk.
The screenshot below shows the VINELink victim notification tool, which covers all Utah jails including the Salt Lake County facility where Taylorsville arrestees may be held.
VINELink is free for crime victims. It sends alerts when someone changes custody status. You can register online and choose to get updates by call, text, or email.
Taylorsville Criminal Background Checks

Taylorsville Victim Services

How GRAMA Applies to Taylorsville
Every records request in Taylorsville falls under the Government Records Access and Management Act. This law gives you the right to ask for public records. Most arrest records qualify as public once the case is closed or charges have been filed. GRAMA also sets the fees that Taylorsville can charge.
The first 15 minutes of staff time are free. After that, agencies may charge $20 to $25 per hour. Copies run about $0.25 per page. If your request is denied, you can appeal to the city's records officer, then to the State Records Committee if needed. The process protects your right to access records while letting agencies guard sensitive data.
