Why This Resource Exists
Michigan law generally favors access to public records, but an arrest can produce several records held by different agencies. The Oakland County Sheriff's Office creates county jail booking records and uses CLEMIS for public custody information. City police agencies may retain their own incident and arrest reports. Michigan courts document what happens after booking, while the Michigan Department of Corrections maintains information about people serving state sentences.
Oakland County Recent Arrests organizes those official paths and explains what each source can establish. A booking entry is a custody snapshot, not the final court result. When an online record does not answer the question, the site identifies the proper public-record request route. No arrest records, court files, or booking-photo collections are hosted here.

Limits of This Site
Oakland County Recent Arrests is privately operated. It has no affiliation with Oakland County, the Oakland County Sheriff's Office, a city police department, a jail, the Michigan Department of Corrections, or any other government body.
- We cannot confirm, release, hold, or transfer a person in custody.
- We cannot post bond, arrange a visit, or send money for a reader.
- We cannot obtain an official record on someone else's behalf or provide legal advice.
- We cannot promise that an agency's phone number, fee, office hour, or online entry has not changed.
Only the responsible agency can confirm present custody, charges, bond, or release. An arrest is an accusation, and every person is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
