Daggett County Sheriff's Office and Law Enforcement
The Daggett County Sheriff's Office is led by Sheriff Erik Bailey. The office is at 590 S Sheriff's Way, PO Box 219, Manila, UT 84046. The main phone is (435) 784-3255 and the fax is (435) 784-3251. Sheriff Bailey can be reached by email at ebailey@daggettcounty.org. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm. Emergency and after-hours dispatch is handled by the Consolidated Dispatch center in Vernal at (435) 789-4222.
The Sheriff's Office has a small staff that covers the entire county. Deputies include Joseph Harrison and Jayden Guymon. Sergeant and Emergency Manager Leonard Isaacson handles emergency coordination for the county. Despite the small resident population of 935, the county serves nearly 2 million visitors each year. This tourist traffic significantly affects the workload of the Sheriff's Office, particularly during summer months when outdoor recreation in the Flaming Gorge area draws large numbers of people.
Daggett County criminal records from the Sheriff's Office include arrest documents, booking records, and case reports for incidents occurring within the county. Crime reporting is not maintained as frequently as in larger counties due to the small resident population. Still, the public has a right to access criminal records under state law, and the Sheriff's Office processes requests during normal business hours.
