Murray Inmate Population
Murray inmate population searches start with the city police department and then move to Salt Lake County custody records after booking. That matters because Murray handles police contact and city records on separate paths, while the county jail handles the live custody result. If you are checking a recent arrest, looking for a police report, or trying to confirm whether a person moved into jail, the city office and the county search each do a different job. This page keeps those jobs in order so you can move from the first call to the current jail listing without guessing which office owns the next step.
Murray Police Contact
The Murray Police Department at murray.utah.gov/194/Police is the best city entry point for a Murray inmate population search. The department is at 10 East 4800 South, 1st Floor, Murray, UT 84107, with the main office at 801-264-2673 and the non-emergency line at 801-840-4000. The department also lists 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for service. That tells you the city side is active around the clock, even if the records side of the process still takes time to move through the right channel.
The police page says the mission is to provide a safe and peaceful environment and to protect life and property. That is useful context when you are trying to sort out a recent booking, because the arrest side and the custody side are not the same record. For non-emergency reports, the department directs people to file online or to call the non-emergency dispatch line. If you need the first city confirmation before you check the county jail, this is the office to use.

That page gives the local police contact before the search moves into Salt Lake County custody records. It is the right first stop for a fresh Murray case.
Note: Murray has a direct non-emergency line, but the county search still answers the custody question faster than a phone call in most cases.
Murray Records Requests
Murray makes an important distinction on records. The city records request page at murray.utah.gov/1481/GRAMA-Request says city records and police records use different paths. If you want police, accident, or crime reports, the city tells you to use the police GRAMA form and call 801-264-2673. It also says the City Recorder does not have access to those records. That is the key local detail for a Murray inmate population search because it keeps you from sending a police report request to the wrong office.
The records image below comes from the Murray records division source. It is the city records side of the search, separate from the police report path.

That source is useful when you need a city-held record, not just a jail listing. It reminds you that Murray city files and Murray police reports are not the same thing.
Murray also offers an online GRAMA request form through the recorder's office, and the city says many requests can be processed in 7 to 10 business days. The online form is best for city records that sit outside the police report bucket. If your question is about a police booking or a crime report, stay with the police form. If your question is about another city record, use the recorder path. That split is clear, and it is one of the best reasons to read the city page before you submit a request.
For a city report, the police reporting and forms page at murray.utah.gov/205/Reporting-and-Forms is also useful because it gathers the police forms in one place. That keeps the Murray records trail clear when the search is tied to an arrest, an accident, or another police matter. The city wants the report request in the police channel, not in the general records queue.
Murray City Government
The Murray city homepage at murray.utah.gov is the broader city doorway around the police and records pages. It is where the police department, city records, and other departments sit in the same municipal structure. That is helpful when you are not sure whether the question is about police, city records, or a general city service. A clean city homepage is useful because it lets you stay inside the official Murray site while you sort out which office owns the record.

That view matters because it shows the police and records pages are part of one city system, not separate sites. It keeps the search local and official.
The city homepage also helps when you need the City Recorder, the police department, or a different department for follow-up work. Murray's setup is fairly clean. The homepage gives you the front door, the police page gives you the arrest-side contact, and the GRAMA page gives you the records path. Once you know that split, the Murray inmate population search stops feeling scattered.
Salt Lake County Inmate Search
After booking, Murray arrestees usually show up in Salt Lake County custody records. The county runs Metro Jail and Oxbow, and the jail phone is 385-468-8400. The public search at saltlakecounty.gov/sheriff/corrections/find/ is the main tool for the live custody check. It is the fastest way to see whether a Murray arrest has already moved into the county system, and it is the best public tool when you need the current inmate population result instead of a city report.
The sheriff page at slco.org/sheriff/ gives the county corrections context, and the county jail address is 3415 South 900 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84119. That address helps when you need to understand where the person is held. The county search is still the first place to look, because it turns the booking into a visible custody record without waiting for a phone answer.

That search is the right public check once the county takes custody. It is meant for live jail status, not just the city arrest note.
Murray County Handoff
The Murray handoff is straightforward. Police make the arrest. The county books the person. The county search shows the live custody result. If you need a formal records request after that, the Salt Lake County GRAMA page at saltlakecounty.gov/records-management/public-records-requests-grama/ is the county route. It is the place to use when a jail search is not enough and you need a paper file, a booking sheet, or another county-held record tied to a Murray case.
Salt Lake County says requests are answered in ten business days, with shorter timing for media requests. The county also says the first 30 minutes are free and that larger requests can trigger a fee estimate. That matters because a Murray police report request and a Salt Lake County custody request are not the same thing. The city police form handles the report. The county GRAMA page handles the county-held file. Keeping that split clear saves time and keeps the request from landing in the wrong inbox.
For a fast custody check, use the county search first. For a formal file, use the county GRAMA page. For a police report, use the Murray police form. That three-part path fits most Murray inmate population questions and keeps the search tied to the right office from the start.
Salt Lake County Link
Murray sits in Salt Lake County, so the county page is the next stop when the city trail turns into a jail question. The county page keeps the inmate search, sheriff context, and jail contact in one local place. That makes it easier to move from a Murray arrest to the current custody answer without starting over.
