Why This Guide Exists
Michigan arrest information is spread across agencies that answer different questions. The Kent County Sheriff’s Office creates county booking records and operates the Kent County Correctional Facility lookup. Courts preserve case outcomes, while the Michigan Department of Corrections publishes OTIS records for people in prison, on parole, or on probation. This site explains those official paths and the records-request process without republishing booking photographs.

Limits of This Private Site
Kent County Recent Arrests is privately operated. It has no affiliation with a Michigan government agency, sheriff’s office, jail, court, or corrections department.
- We cannot release, hold, or transfer a person in custody.
- We cannot post bond, arrange visits, or send funds for anyone.
- We do not provide legal advice.
- We cannot promise that an agency’s phone number, fee, office hours, or address will never change.
Only the Kent County Sheriff’s Office, Kent County Correctional Facility, or another responsible agency can confirm current custody, charges, and release information. This guide only points readers toward those official systems.
