Kaysville Quick Facts
Where to Find Kaysville Criminal Records
Kaysville criminal records originate from several agencies. The Kaysville City Legal Department processes all GRAMA requests for city records. The Kaysville Police Department handles police reports directly. The Second Judicial District Court holds criminal case records for Davis County, including all felony and misdemeanor cases filed against Kaysville residents.
The city accepts GRAMA requests in three ways. You can complete and submit the Records Request Form online through the city website. You can download a PDF form and mail or deliver it. You can also submit through Utah's Open Records Portal, which handles requests for many state and local agencies. Each method leads to the same 10-business-day response window.
Third-party requests require additional steps. If you are requesting records on behalf of another person, you must provide a notarized release from the subject of the record. Valid government-issued photo identification is required when picking up any records in person. Utah Driving Privilege Cards do not satisfy the identification requirement.
Note: Records involving open criminal investigations are classified as protected under GRAMA and may not be disclosed until the case is fully resolved.

Kaysville GRAMA and Criminal Records Law
The Kaysville GRAMA information page explains your rights under Utah's open records law and how the city applies the Government Records Access and Management Act to records requests.
GRAMA is codified under Utah Code Section 63G-2-101 through 63G-2-901. It defines what qualifies as a government record and sets out four classification levels: public, private, controlled, and protected. Public records are open to any person. Private records relate to personal interests. Controlled records contain medical or mental health data. Protected records include active investigations and other sensitive materials.
Every person has the right to inspect any public record free of charge under Utah Code Section 63G-2-201. The right to take a copy is also established in the same section, subject to applicable fees. The law applies to Kaysville City, the Kaysville Police Department, and all other city agencies. GRAMA requests do not require you to state a reason. Any person may file a request for any public record held by the city.
Note: If Kaysville denies a GRAMA request, you may appeal first to the city's chief administrative officer, then to the State Records Committee, and finally to the district court.
Kaysville Police Department Criminal Records
The Kaysville Police Department Services page describes what records and services are available directly from the police department, including records related to criminal incidents and arrests.
The Kaysville Police Department processes requests for incident reports, arrest logs, traffic accident reports, and related law enforcement documents. All requests must include a completed Records Request Form and valid government-issued photo ID. Requests that do not meet these requirements will not be processed until the missing information is provided.
The department classifies records at the time they are created. Most initial incident reports are classified as public records. Follow-up and investigative reports are often classified as protected. Video and audio evidence, including body camera footage, may require additional review and redaction before release. The cost for these items reflects both the reproduction fee and any staff time beyond the initial 15-minute free research period.
