Oakland County Jail Bookings

The jail can hold about 1,500 inmates at any given time. During booking, staff take a mugshot, collect personal information, and record all charges.
Oakland County uses the CLEMIS system to track inmates. The CLEMIS Inmate Locator lets you search for current inmates online.
