Choose the office based on the question, not simply the place of arrest.
- For a county booking record or photograph, use the Sheriff FOIA form and identify the person, date, and record sought.
- For current county-jail custody, call Corrections at 231-723-8435 rather than relying on a news item or an unofficial listing.
- For court status after booking, use the 85th District Court, 231-723-5010, or 19th Circuit Court, 231-723-6664, at 415 Third Street.
- For a state prisoner, use the Michigan Department of Corrections OTIS search and its listed records contacts.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the appropriate BOP or ICE locator rather than the county-jail number.
- For a city-originated Manistee report, use the city’s own FOIA process; Kaleva and Eastlake have no verified municipal police records path in the directory.
