What Syracuse Felony Records Contain
Felony records for Syracuse cases differ based on the source. Arrest records from the Davis County Sheriff cover the facts of the arrest: date, charges, booking information, and the arresting officer's report. Court records from the 2nd District cover the legal case from start to finish. BCI records reflect the final conviction as reported to the statewide database.
A typical 2nd District Court felony file for a Syracuse case includes the criminal information, any arrest warrant, bail determination, plea, trial or hearing notes, verdict, and sentencing order. Some documents may be restricted if the court has ordered them sealed or if they involve victims with privacy protections. Juvenile records are handled in a separate court and are not public.
Note: GRAMA allows agencies to withhold records if disclosure would harm an ongoing investigation. Once a case is resolved, most documents become available for public inspection.
BCI Records and Warrant Search for Syracuse
The Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification maintains a statewide conviction database that includes felony convictions from Syracuse cases. BCI charges $15 for a name-based record check.

Utah Felony Classes That Appear in Syracuse Records
Utah classifies felony crimes under Utah Code Title 76. There are four levels. Capital felonies are the most serious category. First degree felonies carry five years to life and fines up to $10,000. Second degree felonies carry one to fifteen years and fines up to $10,000. Third degree felonies carry up to five years and fines up to $5,000.
Under Utah Code section 76-3-201, felony offenses result in state prison sentences rather than local jail. The class of felony listed in a Syracuse court record tells you which sentencing range applied in that case. Third degree convictions sometimes result in probation rather than prison time, depending on the circumstances of the case and the defendant's record.
Note: The felony class listed in the charging document can change if charges are reduced through a plea agreement. The final conviction document reflects the class that was actually sentenced.
Expungement Options for Syracuse Felony Records
Some Syracuse felony convictions may qualify for expungement. Expungement seals the record from public access. Capital and first degree felony convictions are generally not eligible. Some second and third degree felony convictions may qualify after a waiting period once the entire sentence, including parole and probation, is finished.
BCI issues the certificate of eligibility for expungement in Utah. After receiving the certificate, the person files a petition in the court where the conviction was entered, which for Syracuse cases is the 2nd District Court in Farmington. The court then decides whether to grant the order. Details on the process and waiting periods are at bci.utah.gov/expungements.
