Cache County Mugshots Status
Cache County Jail is clear about booking-photo limits. The jail page states that starting May 5, 2021, the Cache County Sheriff's Office may no longer distribute jail or booking photos, so those photos are no longer available to download. The Sheriff's Office is led by Sheriff Chad Jensen, and the jail page ties this change to Utah House Bill 228, the jail photo distribution prohibition. That local notice controls the practical answer: do not expect a downloadable Cache County mugshot from the county jail page.
The same jail page has a current inmate list and a last-30-days booking section, but both are currently unavailable. Cache County directs users to call (435) 755-1227 for booked-inmate information. That phone line can help with custody status. It should not be read as a promise that a booking photo will be released. For a broader custody lookup, Cache County inmate records may also require UDC, BOP, ICE, Utah Courts Xchange, or GRAMA channels.
The official booking-terms page below is matched from the image manifest. It contains the roster disclaimer, the unofficial-record warning, and the booking-photo statement tied to Utah Code 17-22-30.
Those terms are why Cache County mugshot questions should be framed as records-access questions, not as a public gallery search.
Find Cache County Booking Photos
There is no active public Cache County booking-photo gallery in the reviewed official sources. The current inmate list and recent-booking page are unavailable, and the Sheriff's Office says booking photos are no longer available to download. If a photo is needed for a valid records purpose, the correct route is to ask the Sheriff's Records Department which photo records, if any, can be released under GRAMA and Utah's booking-photo statute.
- Check the Cache County Jail Division page to see whether the current inmate list or recent-bookings section has returned.
- If the roster remains unavailable, call (435) 755-1227 for booked-inmate information, not for a guaranteed photo release.
- For official materials, use the Sheriff's Office records request process and describe the record sought with names, dates, and case or incident numbers.
- Separate incident photos from booking photographs because the records form lists incident photos, while booking photos have statutory limits.
- If the person is in UDC, BOP, or ICE custody, use those locators for custody status and do not assume they provide mugshots.
Cache County Photo Records
No live Cache County booking-photo entry could be inspected because the county roster and recent-booking list are unavailable. The safest field inventory is therefore a channel-by-channel record table. It highlights the photo field, but it does not invent a visible mugshot, download button, profile layout, or retention period that official Cache County sources did not show.
| Channel | Mugshot / Photo Status |
|---|---|
| Cache County current inmate list | Unavailable; Cache County says booking photos are no longer available to download. |
| Cache County last-30-days bookings | Unavailable; no sample booking-photo entry was inspectable from official sources. |
| Cache County records request form | Lists "Photos related to the Incident" at $25 on a flash drive, but booking photos remain controlled by Utah Code 17-22-30 and the county notice. |
| Utah Courts Xchange | Court case records, filed documents, hearings, judgments, and outcomes, not a mugshot gallery. |
| UDC offender search | State prison or supervision locator; inspect a live profile before claiming a photo is present for a specific person. |
| BOP inmate locator | Shows federal name, register number, age, race, sex, release date, and location fields; no mugshot field is visible in the locator inventory. |
Cache County Mugshot Law
Utah's records law does not make every booking photo freely downloadable. Utah Code 17-22-30 defines a booking photograph as an image generated for identification when a person is booked into a county jail. The statute regulates sheriff distribution, requester statements, and use tied to publications or websites that charge money or other consideration to remove or delete a booking photo. Cache County cites this legal change as the reason jail and booking photos are no longer downloadable from the Sheriff's Office.
Key Statutes:
Utah Code § 17-22-30 - Controls county jail booking-photo distribution and addresses publish-for-pay removal uses.
Utah GRAMA, Title 63G Chapter 2 - Sets the public-records framework for Sheriff's Office requests and allows records to be public, private, protected, controlled, or otherwise restricted.
Cache County Roster Timing
No official Cache County source reviewed states how long a booking photo stays public after release. The county's stronger statement is that jail and booking photos are no longer distributed or available to download. The roster terms say the unofficial roster is not updated more often than six times per hour and often less. The current inmate list and recent-booking list are unavailable, so there is no public retention window to rely on for Cache County jail mugshots.
What is and isn't public: Booked-inmate information can be requested through official jail and records channels. Downloadable Cache County booking photos are not currently offered by the Sheriff's Office, and incident photos are not the same record category as booking photographs.
Request Cache County Booking Photos
The records path starts with the Cache County Sheriff's Office Records Department. Requests may be submitted under GRAMA by email, mail, or in person. The current records page uses recordsrequest@cachesheriff.gov, while the older PDF form prints recordsrequest@cachesheriff.org. Use the current page first, and follow staff instructions if the form is required. Mailed requests go to Cache County Sheriff's Office, Attn: Records Officer, 1225 West Valley View, Suite 200, Logan, Utah 84321.
The form asks for requester details, incident or case number, date of incident, record type, whether the requester wants inspection or copies, and signature. Remote identity verification may require notarization. Cache County says requests may take up to 10 working days, active reports are not released until cleared, and some records may be private, protected, or controlled. If asking about a photo, state whether the request is for an incident photo, body-camera material, jail record, or booking photograph. That distinction matters because booking photos have a separate legal rule.
Incident Photos Versus Mugshots
The Sheriff's Request for Records form lists "Photos related to the Incident" with a $25 flash-drive fee. That line should not be read as a promise that a booking photograph will be released. Incident photos may be tied to a report, scene, evidence, or investigation. A booking photo is created for jail identification at intake and is governed by Utah Code 17-22-30 and Cache County's no-download notice. The best request language asks Records which photo categories can legally be released for the specific case.
| Photo Type | Likely Route | Important Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Booking photograph | Ask Sheriff's Records under GRAMA and Utah Code 17-22-30. | Cache County says jail/booking photos are no longer distributed or downloadable. |
| Incident photo | Records request form, if releasable. | May be redacted, withheld, or delayed if the report is active or protected. |
| Body-camera video | Records request form. | Fee and hourly charges may apply, and privacy redactions may be required. |
| Court exhibit | Utah court record process if filed and public. | Court access rules differ from jail records. |
Cache County Mugshot Removal
Utah Code 17-22-30 directly addresses the problem of publications or websites that require payment or other consideration to remove or delete booking photographs. Cache County's terms require users to affirm that a booking photograph will not be placed in that kind of publication or website. The practical response is not to pay a third-party site or rely on private removal promises. Use the legal record-clearing path if the underlying case qualifies.
If a case was dismissed, sealed, or expunged, court relief and legal advice are the safer path. A court order may affect access to court records and criminal history, but it does not automatically mean every third-party copy will disappear. For charges and case outcomes after booking, use Cache County court records after jail arrest. For custody status and jail-record access, use Cache County inmate records.
State and Federal Photos
State and federal systems are not substitutes for Cache County jail mugshots. The UDC offender search covers people currently incarcerated by UDC or on Utah probation or parole. UDC also states that people awaiting trial or not yet sentenced in county jail facilities are not listed. A person under UDC status might be physically housed in a county-jail contract bed, but the lookup channel changes to the state system.
The BOP inmate locator covers federal inmates incarcerated from 1982 to the present and shows fields such as name, register number, age, race, sex, release date, and location. It does not publish mugshots as part of the visible locator fields. The ICE Online Detainee Locator is the immigration custody channel. Cache County Jail has historical ICE inspection documents, but current immigration custody should be checked through ICE, not through a county mugshot search.
Photo access is separate from family-service rules. Cache County Jail uses NCIC for video visits and phone accounts, accepts inmate money through the 24/7 lobby ATM, the weekday administrative window, and JailATM, and requires mail to use the jail address with the inmate's full name. Those channels support communication and deposits, but they do not create public booking-photo access.
Note: A missing Cache County mugshot does not prove no booking occurred; use the jail phone line, GRAMA records process, and court records for confirmation.
