How to Find Macomb County Mugshots

Macomb County is one of the few Michigan counties that posts mugshots online. The inmate locator shows booking photos along with charges, bond amounts, and booking dates. Search by the person's name or booking number to pull up their record. This tool covers current inmates in the Macomb County Jail.

For older records or records of people who have been released, you may need to file a FOIA request. Send it to the FOIA coordinator at the Sheriff's Office at 43565 Elizabeth Road, Mount Clemens, MI 48043. Include the person's full name and approximate date of arrest. The office must respond within five business days under Michigan's FOIA law at MCL 15.231.

Standard copy fees apply for FOIA requests. The coordinator will provide a cost estimate before they start pulling records. If you just need to confirm current custody status without a mugshot, you can also use VINELink for free.

Macomb County Jail Resources

You can check on inmates using VINELink, a free victim notification tool that covers all Michigan counties.

VINELink lets you search by offender name and register for alerts when their custody status changes. It does not show mugshots, but it confirms whether someone is currently held.

For booking photos, the county's own inmate search tool is the best option. The Macomb County government website links to the Sheriff's Office and other county services. Keep in mind that the inmate search only shows people currently in custody. Once someone is released, their record comes off the online tool.

If you need records beyond the county jail, Michigan has several statewide tools. The OTIS offender search covers state prison inmates and parolees but not county jail detainees. The ICHAT system from Michigan State Police costs $10 per search and shows criminal history from across the state. The Michigan Courts case search lets you look up court filings.

Macomb County courts handle a large volume of criminal cases. The 16th Judicial Circuit Court and the 42nd District Court process felonies and misdemeanors from across the county. Court records can add context to what you find through the jail's inmate search. Combine these tools for a fuller picture of someone's criminal history in the county.
