Lehi Police Department Records Request
The Lehi Police Department website provides information about the records division, how to submit GRAMA requests, and what types of records are available from the department.
The Lehi Police Department holds arrest records, police incident reports, chronological call logs, traffic accident reports, and related law enforcement records, all subject to GRAMA classification rules under Utah Code.
Arrest records and initial contact reports from the Lehi Police Department are generally classified as public under GRAMA. Follow-up investigative reports and witness statements are protected until the related criminal court case is fully resolved. Traffic accident reports require a processing period before they are available. Reports involving serious injury, death, or on-duty emergency vehicles may require a formal GRAMA request rather than standard traffic report access.
How to Request Lehi Criminal Records Under GRAMA
The Government Records Access and Management Act governs all public records requests in Lehi. Utah enacted GRAMA in 1991 under Title 63G, Chapter 2 of the Utah Code. The law gives everyone the right to request records from government agencies without providing a reason.
To request Lehi criminal records, download the GRAMA Request for Records form from the Lehi city website at lehi-ut.gov. Fill in your full name, mailing address, daytime phone number, and email. Describe the records you want with as much detail as possible. Include dates, names, and case numbers if known. Submit the form to the Lehi Police Department or the appropriate city office depending on the type of records you need.
Lehi must respond within 10 business days. The city will provide the record, deny your request with written reasons, or notify you of an extension due to extraordinary circumstances. If your request is denied, you can appeal to the city's designated appeals officer. From there, you can appeal to the State Records Committee under Utah Code Section 63G-2-403. Judicial review through district court is the final step available under Utah Code Section 63G-2-404.
You may request a fee waiver if the release of records primarily benefits the public rather than you personally. Provide written justification explaining why the public benefits from your access to the records. The city will decide whether the waiver is appropriate based on the content and purpose of your request.
