Contact and Records Routing

This private reference site is not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the responsible public office for those services.


Choose the Correct Office

Monroe County Sheriff’s Office records staff are at 100 E. Second Street, Monroe, MI 48161. The inmate-information line is 734-240-7430. Records staff can be reached at 734-240-7415, and the county directory lists that division as open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Use the route that matches the record or custody status:

  • For a county booking record or photo, start with the Monroe County arrest hub and then use Sheriff Records or county FOIA.
  • For a warrant, consult the 1st District Court warrant search, the court, an attorney, or the Sheriff’s Office.
  • For a very recent booking, check the official current-inmate portal and then call the inmate-information line if processing may still be underway.
  • For release or transfer alerts, use Michigan VINE and verify urgent status questions with the jail.
  • For either county detention building, use the single county lookup route or call Corrections rather than looking for a separate facility page.
  • For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Michigan Department of Corrections OTIS search.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the federal BOP or ICE locator instead of the county roster.
