This is a private reference site, not a Kent County or Michigan government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the responsible government office for those services.

Use the route that matches the person’s custody stage:
- For a booking record or photograph, begin with the full county lookup and records-request guide, then contact Sheriff Records if the viewer does not answer the question.
- For someone arrested today, check 24 Hour Arrests; use the multi-day Arrest Log for a broader date range.
- For current county custody, use the Kent County Web Jail Viewer. For custody alerts, use VINELink Check.
- For court disposition, consult the Kent County Court Clerk rather than treating a booking charge as the final result.
- For a sentenced Michigan prisoner, parolee, or probationer, use Michigan Department of Corrections OTIS.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the federal Bureau of Prisons or ICE locator. Those records are outside Kent County’s jail system.
