Oakland County Recent Arrests is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the office responsible for the record.
Oakland County Official Contacts
Use the custody line for a present jail-status question and the Records Unit for a historical booking record, incident report, proof of incarceration, or photo request. The sheriff's general office handles other agency questions.

Choose the path that matches the question:
- For a booking record, incident report, or booking photo, begin with the Oakland County records and arrest guide, then submit a focused request to the Records Unit.
- For someone booked very recently, check the Daily Arrest Report route and call inmate information if CLEMIS has not caught up.
- For a broader recent window, use the Weekly Arrest Log. Troy's police media report and county custody records answer different questions.
- For release, transfer, or escape alerts concerning one person, use the VINELink Inmate Check.
- For a court disposition, bond order, or filed charge, consult MiCOURT, Oakland Court Explorer, or the court of jurisdiction through the official links on the home page.
- For a person serving a Michigan prison sentence, use the Michigan Department of Corrections offender search. Federal Bureau of Prisons and ICE locators cover their own custody systems.
Oakland County's online inmate data may be incomplete or up to 72 hours old. A booking is not a conviction, and charges may change or be dismissed.
