Garfield County Mugshot Status
No official Garfield County online mugshot gallery, recent-bookings page, booking-photo roster, or jail roster profile with mugshots was located on the sheriff site or county sheriff page. The official jail page publishes visitation, mail, and messaging information, not a photo feed. Because no online roster was found, no official Garfield-specific photo field, photo retention period, or booking-gallery refresh rate can be documented. The safest public statement is that Garfield County booking photos, if maintained and releasable, must be requested through the records process rather than viewed in a county photo gallery.
That does not mean a booking photo cannot exist. It means the public access route is the sheriff GRAMA request process and Utah's booking-photo statute. The sheriff GRAMA page and form are the practical way to ask whether a booking photograph exists, whether it is releasable, and what fee or identity rule applies. For custody and booking records beyond photos, use the Garfield County inmate records process.
Public-photo limit: Garfield County does not publish an official online mugshot feed in the researched sources. Use sheriff records channels rather than commercial photo sites.
Request Garfield County Booking Photos
The sheriff GRAMA form allows a requester to describe records sought, and the fee schedule lists photo-related fees. A request should be specific. Include the person's full name, approximate booking or arrest date, case number if known, and the phrase "booking photograph" or "booking photo" if that is the record sought. If the office classifies the record as private or protected, the sheriff's page says identification is required before release under Utah Code 63G-2-202.
- Check the official Garfield County Jail page and confirm the person is or was tied to Garfield County Jail.
- Call 435-676-2678 if current custody or routing needs to be confirmed before a photo request.
- Use the sheriff GRAMA records request page and describe the booking photo sought.
- Provide proof of identity when requesting a private or protected record as the subject of record or an authorized requester.
- Expect fee review before processing if the office estimates copy, photo, or media costs.
| Photo Request Detail | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Full name | Helps records staff identify the person |
| Approximate booking date | Limits the search to the right jail event |
| Case number | Connects the jail record to a known court or sheriff record |
| Requester status | May control access to private or protected records |
| Signed statement | Utah booking-photo law restricts publish-for-pay use |
Utah Booking Photo Law
Utah Code 17-22-30 is the core sheriff booking-photograph statute. It restricts sheriff release of booking photographs for publish-for-pay publications or websites and requires a signed requester statement that the photograph will not be placed in that kind of use. The law also contains removal and destruction rules for publish-for-pay sites when qualifying proof is supplied.
GRAMA still matters. Utah Code 63G-2-201 sets the broad public, private, controlled, and protected records framework, while Utah Code 63G-2-202 covers evidence of identity for release of private, controlled, or protected records. Garfield County's GRAMA page echoes that controlled records are not released and that private or protected records require proper access status and ID.
Booking-photo rule: Do not use a commercial mugshot-publishing site as the source for Garfield County jail mugshots. Use the sheriff, court, or corrections source that controls the record.
Garfield County Photo Fees
The Garfield County sheriff GRAMA form lists fees that apply to photo and media records. These are not promises that every requested Garfield County mugshot will be released. They show the charges the office may assess when a photo or media record is processed. The sheriff page also states that estimated fees must be paid before processing. If the request seeks more than a photo, such as an incident report or video, the fee review can include paper, color, media, or staff-related costs allowed by the records process.
| Item | Fee | Booking Photo Relevance |
|---|---|---|
| Photo CD | $25 | Possible format for photo release |
| Printed photo page | $2 | Possible paper photo output |
| Video, DVD, or USB | $25 | Related media record fee |
| Black-and-white pages, 1 to 10 | $10 | May apply to related records |
| Color pages | $0.50 per page | May apply to color copies |
Garfield County Mugshot Source
The official Garfield County Sheriff's Office GRAMA page is the local path for booking-photo requests when no public mugshot roster is posted.
The GRAMA page is more reliable than a name-only web search because it states the sheriff's release limits, response timing, identification rule, and fee process for Garfield County.
Garfield County Photo Record Fields
Because no Garfield County public roster profile was available, a local mugshot profile inventory cannot be claimed. The requestable field inventory comes from the sheriff records form and from state-level UDC public-information materials. A Garfield County jail booking photo, if released, is a jail record. A UDC prison photo, if available, is a state corrections record. A court case record may show charges, events, and documents, but it is not a booking-photo gallery.
| Field or Item | What It Shows | Where to Check |
|---|---|---|
| Booking photograph | Photo taken during jail booking if maintained and releasable | Sheriff GRAMA request |
| Booking record | Custody or intake record tied to the jail event | Sheriff GRAMA request |
| Filed charges | Formal court charges after prosecutor filing | Garfield County court records after jail arrest |
| UDC photo | State offender photo that may be public information | UDC public-information and offender search channels |
UDC and Federal Mugshots
The Utah Department of Corrections public-information material says public inmate or offender information may include a prison photo or mug shot for UDC-supervised people. That is a state corrections photo, not a Garfield County jail booking photo. Use the UDC Offender Search when the person is currently under UDC supervision, and remember that UDC says unsentenced county jail detainees are excluded.
Federal photo access is different. The BOP Inmate Locator shows federal locator fields such as name, register number, age, race, sex, release date, and location. It is not a public mugshot gallery. ICE searches through the ICE Online Detainee Locator are also custody locator searches, not county booking-photo searches. Do not promise a federal mugshot if the official source does not provide one.
Garfield County Mugshot Removal
Utah Code 17-22-30 addresses publish-for-pay booking-photo use and removal. If a booking photograph relates to a charge where the person was acquitted, not prosecuted, expunged, vacated, or pardoned, publish-for-pay removal or destruction deadlines can be shorter when the person supplies proof. Utah Code Chapter 77-40a governs expungement of qualifying Utah arrest, detention, investigation, and conviction records.
Removal from a private website is not the same as changing a sheriff, jail, court, or corrections record. For official Garfield County records, contact the office that maintains the record. For court record restrictions or expungement, use Utah Courts resources or legal counsel. For a commercial site, do not pay solely because a site claims official control over Garfield County jail mugshots. Verify the legal basis and the originating record first. If the underlying case was dismissed, expunged, pardoned, or not prosecuted, keep copies of the official disposition because Utah's photo-removal rule depends on proof.
- Expungement
- A Utah process that restricts access to qualifying criminal records.
- Acquittal
- A court outcome finding the person not guilty of the charged offense.
- Publish-for-pay
- A publication or site that charges to remove or delete booking photographs.
- Protected record
- A GRAMA classification that may limit public release.
