Official Record Contacts

For adult jail custody, start with the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Office and Kalamazoo County Jail. Sheriff Richard C. Fuller III leads the Sheriff's Office, which operates the jail and maintains the adult jail roster through its public inmate inquiry system.

Police reports and many Sheriff's Office records require a written request. The Sheriff's Office FOIA/report page says the Records Section can be called first to ask whether a report is available for public release, then written requests may be submitted to the Records Section. Michigan FOIA, including MCL 15.231, MCL 15.233, and MCL 15.234, controls public-record access and fees.

• For a person in Kalamazoo County Jail, use jail inmate records and the county's Inmate Search page.
• For booking photos or public mugshot limits, use jail roster mugshots and the Sheriff's FOIA/report request page.
• For charges filed after booking, use court records after a jail arrest, MiCOURT, or the 8th District Court.
• For the adult jail facility, see Kalamazoo County Jail at 1500 Lamont Ave.; for juvenile secure detention, call Kalamazoo County Juvenile Home at 269-385-8550.
• For a sentenced state prisoner, search MDOC OTIS, which is separate from the county jail roster.
• For federal custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator; for immigration custody, use ICE ODLS.
• For custody notifications, check VINELink Michigan, subject to participating-agency coverage.
