This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the office that holds the record.


Custody and Records Contacts

For county-jail custody or an Alpena County booking record, use the Sheriff’s Office contact below. Follow the current phone menu for the front desk, administration, or corrections. A call may answer a basic question, but a written Michigan FOIA request is the proper route for a record copy.
