This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or obtain an official booking record. Contact the responsible public office directly for those services.
Official Emmet County Contacts
For a current custody question, contact the Emmet County Correctional Facility at 450 Bay Street, Petoskey, MI 49770 or call (231) 347-2032. Written report and FOIA questions go to the Emmet County Sheriff's Office records channel at foia@emmetcounty.org or (231) 348-0678. Administrative public hours are generally Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., excluding holidays. The correctional facility itself operates around the clock, but that does not mean its public counter is always open.
Choose the channel that matches the person's custody stage or the record needed:
- For a county booking record or photograph, start with the full arrest-record request path.
- For someone booked today, review Arrests Last 24 Hours; for several days of reports, use the Police Blotter.
- For release or transfer alerts, use the VINELink Custody Check and confirm coverage for Emmet County.
- For a court outcome after arrest, search the official Michigan court system rather than relying on the first booking charge.
- For a person sentenced to state supervision, use the Michigan Department of Corrections OTIS search.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the federal BOP or ICE locator described on the home page.
