Spanish Fork Quick Facts
Spanish Fork Police Records
The Spanish Fork Police Department handles law enforcement records for the city. The department is at 798 N Main St, Spanish Fork, UT 84660. You can reach them at (801) 798-5070 for questions about reports or the records request process. They manage incident reports, accident records, and other police files for events that happen within Spanish Fork city limits.
Getting police records requires a GRAMA request. GRAMA is the Government Records Access and Management Act, codified at Utah Code 63G-2. You submit a written request with details about what you need. Names, dates, and case numbers help the staff pull the right files faster. The city has 10 business days to respond under the law. Complex requests may take the full 10 days, while simpler ones can come back sooner.
If the city denies your request, they must cite the specific GRAMA provision and tell you in writing. You have 30 days to file an appeal. The appeal goes to the city first, and then to the State Records Committee if needed. The Utah State Archives has guides and forms for the GRAMA process that work for any government office in the state, including Spanish Fork.
Spanish Fork also has a Utah County Sheriff substation at 3075 N Main St, Spanish Fork, UT 84660. The sheriff's office handles county-level law enforcement and may hold records for incidents in unincorporated areas near the city. If you are not sure whether the city police or the sheriff handled a particular incident, check with both offices.
