Murray DUI Records and the Agencies That Maintain Them
Murray was incorporated on January 3, 1903, and operates under a Strong Mayor-Council form of government. Located near the center of Salt Lake County along State Street and Interstate 15, Murray serves as a transit and commercial hub for the valley. The Murray City Police Department at 5025 South State Street Suite 206 handles DUI enforcement within city limits. Officers patrol State Street, 900 East, Murray-Holladay Road, and other main corridors, making DUI arrests that generate reports stored as city public records.
Murray DUI records are spread across several agencies. The Murray City Police Department holds DUI arrest reports and incident records. The 3rd District Court holds the criminal case files once the Salt Lake County prosecutor files charges. The Utah Bureau of Criminal Investigation holds statewide criminal history records that include Murray DUI convictions once entered. The Utah Driver License Division maintains the administrative license records tied to each DUI arrest. Because Murray sits fully inside Salt Lake County, all DUI arrestees are transported to the Salt Lake County Jail after booking.
Murray's central location along high-volume roads means the Murray Police Department handles a notable volume of DUI enforcement activity. Both State Street and nearby freeway corridors produce DUI stops throughout the year. All of these arrests generate court cases in the 3rd District Court system.

Utah's .05 BAC Law and Murray DUI Enforcement
Murray DUI cases are prosecuted under Utah state law. Utah holds the lowest legal BAC limit in the country. Under Utah Code section 41-6a-502, a driver in Murray who tests at .05 BAC or above can be arrested and charged with DUI. This limit applies on State Street, side streets, and parking lots throughout Murray. Utah was the first state to lower the limit from .08 to .05.
Utah Code section 41-6a-517 makes it illegal to drive in Murray with any measurable controlled substance metabolite in your body. A blood or urine test after a Murray DUI stop can produce a metabolite-based DUI charge even if alcohol was not a factor. This law applies to marijuana, prescription opioids, and other controlled substances. It generates a separate charge and a separate court record in the 3rd District Court.
Utah's implied consent law under Utah Code section 41-6a-520 applies to all Murray drivers. Driving in Utah means agreeing to chemical testing when an officer has cause to suspect DUI. Refusing a chemical test after a Murray DUI stop brings a license suspension of 18 months for a first offense and 36 months for any later refusal. These suspension records go to the DLD, not the court. Sentencing for first-offense DUI under Utah Code section 41-6a-505 includes minimum fines, mandatory jail or alternatives, and an 18-month IID requirement. Drivers under 21 face a 3-year IID period.
License Records and IID Requirements After a Murray DUI
A Murray DUI arrest creates two separate record trails. The criminal case flows to the 3rd District Court. The license action flows to the Utah Driver License Division. Both run at the same time and are tracked by separate agencies. A Murray driver's license can be suspended by the DLD before the criminal case reaches a verdict.
The DLD begins an administrative suspension after a Murray DUI arrest when the driver fails or refuses a chemical test. Murray drivers have the right to request a DLD administrative hearing to contest the suspension within the deadline that applies after the arrest. All DLD records for Murray DUI license actions are at dld.utah.gov/dui.
After a court conviction, the 3rd District Court orders an ignition interlock device. State-approved IID providers are listed at dld.utah.gov/iid. Murray drivers must install the IID before regaining full driving rights. Compliance records go back to the DLD. Driving on a suspended license after a Murray DUI conviction is a separate criminal offense that adds to the person's record.
