This is a private reference site, not a Muskegon County government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, schedule jail services, or obtain official booking records for you. Use the official office or court contact that matches the record you need.
Where to Ask First
For adult jail custody and booking-record questions, start with the Muskegon County Sheriff's Office or its Records Division. The Sheriff's Office contact block uses 990 Terrace Street STE 450, while the Records Division is listed at 990 Terrace Street on the 1st Floor. The jail administration number is separate from the records number, so use the record type to choose the right call.
| Office | Address | Phone / Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Muskegon County Sheriff's Office / Records | 990 Terrace Street STE 450, Muskegon, MI 49442; Records Division at 990 Terrace Street, 1st Floor | 231-724-6351; Records Division Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM-4:30 PM, closed noon-1:00 PM |
| Muskegon County Jail Administration | 990 Terrace Street STE 450, Muskegon, MI 49442 | 231-724-7113 |
| Muskegon County Administration FOIA Coordinator | 1903 Marquette Avenue, Suite 111A, Muskegon, MI 49442 | Use the county FOIA form or mail a written FOIA request to this address |
| 60th District Court | Muskegon County court routing for misdemeanor and traffic court records | 231-724-6258 |
| 14th Circuit Court | Muskegon County court routing for felony and family court records | 231-724-6251 |
Muskegon County also uses a countywide FOIA process. Requests can be made through the county FOIA form or by paper form, and the online form includes a Sheriff's Office department option. Michigan FOIA, Public Act 442 of 1976, MCL 15.231 et seq., gives public bodies five business days to respond, with a possible extension. Court records are not handled through county FOIA, and city police incident reports may need to go to the City of Muskegon, Muskegon Heights, Muskegon Township, or Norton Shores if that agency made the arrest.
- For a person in the adult county jail, use jail inmate records first, then contact Sheriff's Records if the roster does not answer the question.
- For booking photos, review jail roster mugshots and request the record from the correct law-enforcement agency when needed.
- For charges filed after booking, use court records after a jail arrest and the District or Circuit Court phone routing above.
- For a facility question, use the facility pages in the footer and contact the facility operator listed there.
- For a sentenced Michigan prisoner, use the Michigan Department of Corrections OTIS locator rather than the county jail roster.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
