Allegan County Inmate Lookup

Allegan County runs an online Inmate Lookup Tool on the county website. This is the official way to search for current inmates. You need to enter the full last name of the person you want to find. First name and booking date are optional fields that help narrow results.

Search results show the inmate's custody status, booking date, charges, bond amount, and scheduled court dates. Mugshots are also displayed in the results. The system only shows people who are currently in custody at the Allegan County Corrections Center. Once someone is released, their info comes down. The data changes fast, so what you see may not reflect the current status at any given moment. An arrest listing does not mean a conviction.

For the most current info, call the jail at 269-673-0446. The online tool updates throughout the day but there can be delays.

Allegan County Corrections Center

The Corrections Center is at 640 River St., Allegan, MI 49010. It holds inmates at both medium and maximum security levels. The facility handles all bookings for the county, including arrests by local police departments and the Sheriff's Office. When someone is booked in, staff take fingerprints and a mugshot. They log the charges and set the initial bond if one applies.

The Sheriff's Office main line is 269-673-0500. Business hours run Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. If you need to report a crime, call Central Dispatch at 269-673-3899.

Note: True identity of any inmate can only be confirmed through fingerprint comparison, not through online search results alone.

FOIA Requests for Allegan Records

If you need records that go beyond what the online search shows, file a FOIA request. Michigan's Freedom of Information Act (MCL 15.231) lets you ask for booking records, mugshots, arrest reports, and other public documents. Send your request to the Records Division at the Sheriff's Office. You can email it to sheriff@allegancounty.org or submit it through the Allegan County website's online portal.

Include your contact info, a clear description of the records you want, and how you want them delivered. Electronic copies are available with online payment, which is often faster than waiting for paper copies in the mail. The office has up to five business days to respond under Michigan FOIA rules. They will send you a cost estimate if fees apply before they start pulling records.
