Contact and Official Offices

This 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 responsible public office directly for any of those services.


Start With the Right Office

For a current county-jail custody question, contact the office identified on the official Sheriff page. No separate jail records line or office hours were published in the researched source, so use the main non-emergency number and ask to be routed.

Arenac County Sheriff's Department
126 Grove Street
Standish, MI 48658
Phone and non-emergency: 989-846-3002
Emergency: 911

For a written booking record or releasable photo, use the Arenac County FOIA Coordinator. The county lists Clerk Ricky Rockwell at 120 North Grove Street, P.O. Box 747, Standish, MI 48658; phone 989-846-4626 and email foia@arenaccountymi.gov. Match the request to the type of information needed:

  • Use the county arrest hub for the full official path to a booking record, photo request, warrant confirmation, or record correction.
  • For a person thought to have been arrested today, call the Sheriff or use the same-day instructions because Arenac publishes no verified online feed.
  • For custody release or transfer alerts, use Michigan's MI-VINE service and verify the live result with the holding agency.
  • For a court outcome, check MiCOURT and then contact the 81st District Court or 23rd Circuit Court clerk.
  • For a sentenced state prisoner or supervised offender, search the Michigan Department of Corrections OTIS system.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the federal BOP or ICE locator, since county and state systems do not cover those custody types.
