Official Leelanau County Contacts

Use the records route for a defined booking event, and use jail control for a current-custody question. The Sheriff and jail address in the published FOIA material is 8525 E. Government Center Drive, Suttons Bay, MI 49682. The county’s FOIA coordinator is based with the Prosecutor’s Office at a nearby government-center address.

The county FOIA procedure allows five business days for a response, with a possible ten-business-day extension when applicable. A request can identify the person, approximate date, arrest location, arresting agency, and the specific existing record sought. The county may ask for clarification and may itemize lawful charges for work such as search, copying, redaction, media, or postage.

Corrections staff the Leelanau County Jail continuously, but the reviewed sources do not state general public hours for the FOIA coordinator. The Sheriff’s official contact directory and the county’s FOIA procedures are the current sources for routing and procedure details.

Where to Look First

The right source changes as a person moves from an arrest through county custody, court, or another correctional system. Public county pages reviewed for Leelanau County do not provide a live roster or current booking-photo feed. Match the question to the office that holds the record.

• For an existing Leelanau County booking record or a request for a booking photo, use the FOIA coordinator above and identify the event as precisely as possible.
• For present county custody or a release question, call jail control. The Corrections Division also directs users to VINE for custody notifications.
• For a charge’s later court result, use the county criminal-records search guidance and the MiCOURT case search.
• For a person serving a Michigan prison sentence, search MDOC OTIS; it is not a current Leelanau County booking roster.
• For federal or immigration custody, check the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator or the ICE detainee locator.
• When the arrest occurred in a park, on tribal land, on state jurisdiction, or on the water, confirm the arresting agency before making a record request.
