Accessing Midvale Felony Records
Midvale felony records are split between court records and police records. Court records from the 3rd District Court cover the legal process from arraignment through sentencing. Police records from the Unified Police Department cover arrests and incident documentation. Both are public records under Utah law, with some portions that may be sealed or restricted based on court orders or GRAMA exemptions.

To request police records for Midvale felony arrests, contact the UPD records office at (385) 468-9755. Hours are Monday through Thursday. The fee is $10 per incident or traffic report.

3rd District Court and Midvale Felony Cases
Felony charges in Midvale are prosecuted in the 3rd Judicial District Court. This court covers all of Salt Lake County. The main location is at 450 South State Street, Salt Lake City. Phone: (801) 238-7330. The West Jordan location at 8080 South Redwood Road also handles Salt Lake County felony matters. Both locations offer in-person access to case files.
The 3rd District Court record for a Midvale felony case includes the criminal information or indictment, arrest warrant if one was issued, bail orders, the defendant's plea, all hearing dates and notes, trial records, the verdict or disposition, and the sentencing order. If the defendant was convicted, the sentencing order lists the prison term, fines, and any supervision conditions. These documents are filed under the case number and remain public unless sealed by the court.
Searching XChange for a Midvale case by the defendant's name will return the docket, which lists every filing in the case with dates. Searching by case number gives the same result more directly. Both approaches work for finding Midvale felony records through the court system.
Note: Some Midvale cases may be assigned to the West Jordan courthouse rather than the downtown Salt Lake location. XChange will show the assigned court for each case.

Utah Felony Classifications and Midvale Cases
Utah uses four felony levels under Utah Code Title 76. Capital felonies are reserved for the most serious crimes and carry the harshest penalties. First degree felonies carry five years to life in prison and fines up to $10,000. Second degree felonies carry one to fifteen years in prison and fines up to $10,000. Third degree felonies carry up to five years in prison and fines up to $5,000.
All felony sentences in Utah result in state prison time under Utah Code 76-3-201. The Utah Department of Corrections at corrections.utah.gov manages all felony sentences. Their offender search tool lets you check whether someone convicted in a Midvale felony case is currently in custody or under state supervision.
Note: Third degree felonies may sometimes result in probation rather than prison, depending on the judge's order and the defendant's history.
Expungement of Midvale Felony Conviction Records
Some Midvale felony convictions may be eligible for expungement. Expungement seals the record from public searches and removes it from most criminal history checks. Capital felonies and first degree felonies are not eligible. Some second and third degree felonies may qualify after a waiting period that begins after the sentence, probation, and parole are fully completed.
The Bureau of Criminal Identification handles the eligibility certificate. Once BCI issues a certificate, the petitioner files in the 3rd District Court, which is where the Midvale conviction was entered. The court reviews the petition and decides whether to grant the expungement. Full information on the steps, waiting periods, and eligible offenses is at bci.utah.gov/expungements. Active warrants bar eligibility. Check the Utah warrant search at secure.utah.gov/warrants before applying.
