This is a private reference site, not a Chippewa County government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the responsible public office directly for those services.
Official Custody and Records Contacts
For Sheriff matters, contact the Chippewa County Sheriff's Department at 325 Court Street, Sault Ste. Marie, MI 49783, or call 906-635-6355. The business office hours listed by the county are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For jail and current custody questions, call Corrections at 906-635-7620. Written county and Sheriff record requests may be sent to foia@chippewacountymi.gov.
The right destination depends on whether the question concerns a new booking, current custody, a released person's record, or a later state or federal placement.
- For a booking record or photo, use the home page's official-source and FOIA steps, then ask the Sheriff or county FOIA coordinator.
- For someone just arrested or an older county entry, compare the 24 Hour Arrests and Arrest Log pages.
- For current custody or a release alert, contact Corrections and use the VINELink Check guide.
- For a sentenced state prisoner or person under state supervision, use the Michigan Department of Corrections OTIS search.
- For federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator; for immigration detention, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
