This is not a government office. Messages sent here cannot confirm custody, release a person, obtain a record, post bond, or correct an agency file.
Current County Custody
For a person who may be at Genesee County Jail or Flint City Lockup, use the official inmate-information line. Ask whether the person is in custody, released, or transferred.
Genesee County Sheriff’s Office, Corrections Division1002 South Saginaw Street
Flint, MI 48502
Inmate information: 810-257-3426
Non-emergency: 810-257-3422
Administration: 810-257-3406
Emergency: 911
The Sheriff does not publish a verified live roster or general booking-photo feed. MI-VINE may provide a separate custody-status check when its live system contains the record.
County Record Requests
Use the official Genesee County FOIA form for an existing booking card, jail log entry, release entry, or booking photograph. Name the person, date range, arresting agency, facility, and exact document sought.
FOIA Specialist Monaca ElstonGenesee County Board of Commissioners
1101 Beach Street, Room 312
Flint, MI 48502
Email: foia@geneseecountymi.gov
The county form permits inspection, copies, and a request for electronic delivery. Fees, deposits, exemptions, and lawful redactions may apply. It states a five-business-day response period and a possible ten-business-day extension.
Police and Court Records
Contact Flint Police, Burton Police, or Fenton Police when that department created the incident report. A city police record is different from a county jail booking. Burton and Fenton publish city FOIA routes; Fenton directs police requests to foia@fentonpolice.org.
For the case after booking, use MiCOURT and then the proper 67th District Court division or 7th Judicial Circuit Court clerk. The clerk, not this site, can explain access to an official or certified court record.
State or Federal Custody
Use Michigan OTIS for state prisoners, parolees, probationers, and covered recent discharges. MDOC lists Corr_Records_Info@michigan.gov for current prisoner records, MDOC-Records_Retention@michigan.gov for retained past-prisoner records, and MDOC-FOIA@michigan.gov for FOIA. Federal BOP and ICE custody require their own official locators.
Website Questions
Site feedback may address a broken link, accessibility issue, or wording on these privately published reference pages. Do not send sensitive identity documents, payment details, a request to alter a government record, or a request for legal advice. The originating office controls its record.
