Castle Dale Record Check

Castle Dale Criminal History Checks

Start a Castle Dale criminal records search with the document type, not the nearest public building. City Hall keeps city administration. ECSO keeps sheriff incident and arrest reports. County jail staff keep booking records. The Justice Court and Seventh District clerk keep filed cases. Utah BCI supplies a subject's own fingerprint-linked statewide history but no unrestricted public name search.

Follow this order to avoid the wrong counter:

1. Record the date, place, agency, incident or case number, and the exact file needed.
2. Request a police or arrest report from ECSO at 435-381-2404 under GRAMA.
3. Use the Sheriff for current county custody or a booking sheet because no official online roster exists.
4. Search Xchange, then contact Justice Court for most class B/C matters or Seventh District for felonies and class A matters.
5. Use BCI only for your own Utah criminal history record, with its required identity and fingerprint process.

Castle Dale Records at Two Counters

The first local trap is physical proximity. Castle Dale City Hall is at 20 S 100 E, Castle Dale, UT 84513, 435-381-2115. It handles council, ordinance, utility, and other records created by city government. It does not advertise a police records desk, jail, or criminal court. The modern county justice complex sits elsewhere, around 1850 N Des Bee Dove Road and 550 to 560 West.

The official Castle Dale contact source presents the city's administrative counter below.

That counter is distinct from the Sheriff and court offices, even though all share a Castle Dale mailing city.

Records at the Castle Dale Police Department

Castle Dale has no independent police department or city police records unit. The adopted Emery County Emergency Operations Plan identifies the Sheriff as the countywide law-enforcement coordinator and lists ECSO, UHP, Utah AP&P, and Utah DNR as participants, with no Castle Dale PD. A local incident report therefore usually begins with the Emery County Sheriff's Office, 1850 N Des Bee Dove Road, 435-381-2404.

Ask for the records custodian and describe the exact event and media. Useful details include the date and time, location, incident number, responding agency, report or CAD record, 911 audio, photo, and body-camera video. ECSO does not advertise a city report portal, police app, fee schedule, or separate turnaround. Ask for electronic delivery and a written fee estimate. For a UHP or DNR response, request the report from that state agency instead of ECSO.

Castle Dale Criminal Records Hub

Castle Dale is unusual because the county Sheriff, jail, Seventh District and Juvenile Court, Justice Court, and County Attorney cluster near the same modern complex. That makes in-person routing easier once the custodian is known. It does not merge the records. The Sheriff keeps reports and booking facts. Each court clerk keeps its own filed dockets and copies. The County Attorney prosecutes but is not a substitute source for every sheriff or court file.

Official address forms vary by office. The Sheriff and District Court use 1850 N Des Bee Dove Road. Justice Court uses 1850 N 560 W. The County Attorney uses a 550 West form. Preserve the office's own address and call before travel. Justice Court publishes weekday counter hours of 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., except county holidays. Those hours do not establish jail-records hours.

Booking and Arrest Records in Castle Dale

Castle Dale has no city holding cell or municipal booking system. The Emery County jail, located with ECSO, makes the local booking record. Call 435-381-2404 with a legal name and approximate booking date to ask whether a person is held, released, or transferred. A historical copy requires a separate request for the booking sheet. The arrest report must also be requested from the responding agency.

No official Emery online inmate roster, daily booking log, mugshot feed, city blotter, or law-enforcement app was found. UDC Offender Search covers people under state corrections supervision, not every county pretrial detainee. Utah VINE can support custody and release alerts. Xchange shows a court case after filing, not a live jail headcount. These limits are central to a sound Castle Dale arrest search.

Note: Physical custody in Castle Dale does not reveal whether the person is a county detainee or a state inmate placed under contract.

Castle Dale Jail Records Stay Countywide

The jail's location can create a false assumption that booking data belongs to Castle Dale city. It remains an Emery County Sheriff record. UDC's official jail program book describes an 80-bed facility with 15 contracted or available UDC beds and male housing. That mixed role means two people inside the same building can require different search channels based on legal status.

For a recent arrest, call the Sheriff first. For a sentenced or supervised state offender, try UDC Offender Search by name or UDC number. For release notice, use Utah VINE. For filed charges and later judgment, use the county court case lookup. No single service covers all four facts, and silence from one system does not settle what another custodian holds.

The Castle Dale Municipal Court File

There is no Castle Dale municipal criminal court. Emery County Justice Court hears most class B and C misdemeanors, infractions, traffic, and county ordinance matters. Seventh District Court hears all felonies and class A misdemeanors. Both are county or state judicial offices, not city departments. Public summaries appear through Xchange, while clerks supply certified judgments and documents the summary does not include.

Search Castle Dale Court Records

At 1850 N 560 W, Justice Court can answer questions about lower-level filed cases at 435-381-5194. Seventh District handles higher-level files at 435-264-4750. Search Xchange by case number when available. Otherwise use the party name, Emery or Castle Dale court filter, case type, and date range. A similar name is not enough to establish identity.

Most district courthouses provide free Xchange terminal access, which matters for people who do not want a paid subscription. Call first to confirm access and copy charges. Xchange updates after court staff enter data, but it is a summary system and does not guarantee every document image. My Court Case may provide more material to an authenticated party reviewing an eligible personal case.

How Castle Dale Records Reach the County

A Castle Dale event handled by ECSO starts as a Sheriff report. County jail intake creates a booking record. If the Emery County Attorney files a charge, Justice Court or Seventh District opens the prosecution file. Court and agency reporting can then update the identity-linked Utah system maintained by BCI. Each step can use a different charge description and update time.

Record flow: Castle Dale event › Emery County Sheriff and jail › Emery County courts › Utah Department of Public Safety, Bureau of Criminal Identification

Use the most recent custodian for a fresh event. Use the court for pleas and final judgments. Use BCI for your own statewide record. The Emery County criminal history overview gives the broader county route without turning Castle Dale's city page into a repeat of the state process.

Castle Dale Old and Modern Records

The county's Old Courthouse at 75 E Main is another distinct counter. It houses general administration and Emery County Archives, not the current Sheriff, jail, or active criminal court desks. Historical Seventh District material may have transferred to Utah State Archives, whose guide dates the district to 1896. A researcher seeking an old case should give the court, approximate year, names, and case number if known, then ask which archive holds that series.

Current criminal files stay with the modern court system. This timeline prevents two opposite errors: taking a new warrant question to the archives, or expecting Xchange to contain every old paper record. The Archives number is 435-381-3563, and the county administration number is 435-381-3570. Call the active court first when the file date or transfer status is unclear.

Castle Dale Recreation Incident Records

Castle Dale promotes Joe's Valley, the San Rafael Swell, dark skies, pictographs, and ATV, bike, geocaching, and water recreation. An incident associated with a Castle Dale trip may occur beyond city blocks. The creating agency could be ECSO, UHP, DNR, or another public-land responder. Ask which office assigned the incident number before filing a record request.

The official Castle Dale site provides the local setting captured below.

The image establishes city context, while the responder and event location determine where a law-enforcement record actually sits.

Castle Dale Crime Data Limits

Castle Dale had an estimated 1,547 residents in the Census Bureau's Vintage 2025 release. The official 2024 Crime in Utah report does not publish a separate Castle Dale police row. It reports one ECSO countywide service population and countywide NIBRS total. The Sheriff's headquarters being inside Castle Dale does not convert those county figures into a city crime rate.

For a city-specific question, use a known ECSO event record, a court file, or city administrative data actually maintained by Castle Dale. Do not divide the county's 323 NIBRS offenses by the city population. The absence of a Castle Dale PD row matches the adopted countywide policing structure and should remain visible rather than filled with a commercial crime grade.

The same care applies to annual comparisons. The 2022 state report records no ECSO submission, so a straight line from that year to the 2024 county row would confuse missing data with a change in crime. A Castle Dale researcher should name the reporting agency, covered population, year, and offense measure before using any figure. Event records and court dockets are better tools for understanding a known local matter than a county total recast as a city trend.

Castle Dale Record Access Rules

Utah GRAMA requires a request to the entity that maintains the record. Give enough detail for the office to locate it: date range, location, agency, incident, booking or case number, specific categories, preferred format, contact information, and a fee cap. A response may grant access, deny access with legal authority, state that the entity does not maintain the record, or provide an extraordinary-circumstances estimate.

Public access does not override juvenile confidentiality, sealed or expunged cases, protected victim data, private identifiers, active-investigation limits, or jail security. Ask for segregable public portions and a written classification for any redaction.
