Midvale Warrant Records Quick Facts
Midvale Police Department Warrants
The Midvale City Police Department is the primary law enforcement agency in the city. You can call them at (801) 256-2500. Officers investigate crimes, serve warrants, and work with the courts on active cases. When a Midvale detective builds enough evidence, the prosecutor can seek an arrest warrant from a judge. Under Utah Code § 77-7-2, probable cause must be shown before a warrant is issued.
Midvale police serve warrants at any time. Under Utah Code § 77-7-5, there is no limit on when a warrant can be executed. Warrants stay active in Utah until the person is caught or the court recalls them. An officer who knows about an active warrant can make the arrest without holding the physical document, per Utah Code § 77-7-11.

Midvale Justice Court Warrant Records
The Midvale City Justice Court handles Class B and C misdemeanors, traffic violations, and city ordinance cases. Bench warrants make up the bulk of warrant records from this court. They get issued when someone fails to appear for a scheduled hearing. Under Utah Code § 77-7-19, bench warrants are issued about 14 days after a missed court summons.

Setting a new hearing date is often an option and keeps you from being picked up at a bad time. A lot of the active warrant records in Midvale come from people who missed their court date, not from new charges being filed.

The PACER system gives access to federal court records, including warrant applications and arrest warrants from federal cases. PACER is fee-based and requires registration. Federal warrant records are not in the Utah state database, so you need to check PACER separately if you think a federal warrant may exist.
