Search Draper Inmate Population
Draper inmate population searches start on the city side and then move into Salt Lake County custody records. That split matters because Draper does not keep a public jail roster of its own for a long hold. The city homepage, police page, and records path help you find the right office, but the live custody result usually comes from the county search. If you are checking a fresh arrest, asking for a city report, or trying to confirm where a person was booked, the city and county steps work together. This page keeps the local trail and the county handoff in one place.
Draper Police Contact
The Draper police page at draper.ut.us/176/Police is the first city source to check when a Draper arrest is fresh. The city home page at draper.ut.us also places Police Department and Records Request links in the main menu, so the site itself points you toward the right office before you ever leave the city page. That is useful when you want to confirm which desk owns the next step, or when you need to know whether the case belongs with police or the records side of city hall.
Draper City Hall is at 1020 E. Pioneer Road, Draper, UT 84020, and the main city number is 801-576-6500. Those details matter because the city gateway is often the cleanest way to reach the correct department when a name is common or the arrest happened very recently. If you need to ask a live person where a report went, the city homepage is the best starting point. It is also the safest place to confirm that you are dealing with Draper, not a nearby city with a similar street grid or a county office that cannot answer the city-side question.

Use that page as the city anchor. It gives you the right local office before you move into Salt Lake County custody records.
Note: Draper City Hall can point you to the police desk, but the county search is still the faster place to confirm a live jail listing.
Draper Records Requests
The Draper records page at draper.ut.us/177/Records is the city-side source for public records work tied to an arrest or incident. The city homepage also carries a visible Records Request link, which shows that Draper treats records as a normal city function rather than a side note. That is helpful when you need a report, a case file, or another city record that sits behind a booking. If the item you want is tied to a police matter, start with the city records path so you do not waste time with the wrong office.
The screenshot below comes from the Draper records division source. It is the right local trail when you want the record itself, not just a live custody name.

That page matters because city records can lag behind custody. A county roster can update first, while a city report may still be moving through staff review.
The official city home page gives the broader setting for the records process. It links Police Department, Records Request, and other city services from the same front door, which makes it easier to stay inside the official Draper system while you sort out the next step.
That homepage is useful because it ties the police and records path together. It keeps the city side of the search simple and local.
Salt Lake County Inmate Search
Once a Draper arrest is booked, the county side usually becomes the real answer. Salt Lake County uses Metro Jail and Oxbow, and the jail phone is 385-468-8400. The public search page at saltlakecounty.gov/sheriff/corrections/find/ is the tool that turns a Draper arrest into a live custody check. It is the place to look for a current inmate population result, a booking reference, or a recent hold that has already moved out of the city office.
The county sheriff page at slco.org/sheriff/ gives the broader corrections context, while the county jail address is 3415 South 900 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84119. That address matters if you need to know where the jail sits when a call or visit is the next step. Salt Lake County also keeps the system public enough for fast checks, which is why the county search is usually more useful than city paperwork when the question is simply whether a person is in custody.

That search is the one to use first when you want the current jail status. It is built for the county custody step, not the city arrest file.
Draper County Handoff
The Draper path is simple once you see the split. The city handles the front end. Salt Lake County handles the custody side. That means Draper police and Draper records answer the local questions, while the county search answers the jail question. If you need a formal records request after the search, Salt Lake County's GRAMA page at saltlakecounty.gov/records-management/public-records-requests-grama/ explains response time, fee rules, and how to submit a written request. For Draper work, that county page is useful when the city record is not enough.
Salt Lake County says written requests are answered within ten business days, or five business days for media requests. The first 30 minutes are free, then staff time is billed at $25 an hour. Those rules matter when a Draper arrest turns into a report request, because the cost and timing can change once the file is larger than a simple lookup. The county page also explains that requests must be specific and in writing, which helps if you need a booking sheet, a docket page, or another county-held record tied to a Draper case.
When the question is only custody status, stay with the county search. When the question shifts to the record behind the booking, use the county GRAMA path. That is the cleanest way to move from a Draper arrest to the actual public file without bouncing between offices that do not own the same part of the record.
Note: Salt Lake County updates can lag a little behind the arrest, so a short delay does not mean the booking never happened.
Salt Lake County Link
Draper sits in Salt Lake County, so the county page is the natural next stop when the city trail leads to a jail listing. The county page keeps the inmate search, jail contact, and sheriff context together in one place. That makes it easier to move from a Draper arrest to the current custody answer without reopening the whole search from scratch.
