Are Criminal Records Public In Cache County

This legal framework establishes the presumption of openness for government records in Utah, including those maintained by Cache County agencies.

However, not all criminal records are publicly accessible. Important exceptions include:

Ongoing Investigations: Records pertaining to active law enforcement investigations are protected from disclosure under Utah Code § 63G-2-305(10) to prevent interference with proceedings.
Sealed or Expunged Records: Court-ordered sealing or expungement removes records from public access, typically after meeting specific eligibility requirements.
Juvenile Records: Records involving minors are generally confidential under Utah Code § 78A-6-1105, with limited exceptions for serious offenses.
Protected Personal Information: Certain personal identifiers like Social Security numbers, medical information, and victim details may be redacted from otherwise public records.
