Troy Jail Roster
Troy jail roster information is managed through the Oakland County Sheriff's Office. Troy sits in Oakland County with about 85,000 residents and is one of the safest large cities in Michigan. The Troy Police Department makes arrests within city limits, but there is no city-run jail here. All arrestees go to the Oakland County Jail in Pontiac for booking and holding. To search for someone arrested in Troy, you can use the CLEMIS Inmate Locator, which lists all current inmates in the Oakland County jail system. The tool is free and shows booking details, charges, mugshots, and bond information for each person on the roster.
Troy Overview
Oakland County Jail Holds Troy Inmates
Troy does not operate its own jail. The Oakland County Jail in Pontiac is where all Troy arrests end up. Under MCL 800.7, the county sheriff has charge of the jail. MCL 800.13 requires the sheriff to log every person committed to the facility. That log is the jail roster. So when Troy police arrest someone, the person is transported to Pontiac and added to the Oakland County roster.
The Oakland County Jail has three facilities with a combined capacity over 1,400 beds. Sheriff Michael J. Bouchard runs the operation. Troy is about 10 miles east of the jail complex. After arrest, the person usually arrives at the jail within an hour. Once booked, they show up on the CLEMIS Inmate Locator. For full details about the county jail system, facilities, and policies, visit the Oakland County jail roster page.

Fees are limited by MCL 15.234. Copying costs and labor are allowed, but the first $20 of labor is free. Booking photos are public records. The ruling in Patterson v.

Complex requests can get a ten-day extension. Most people just use the CLEMIS tool since it is free and instant for current inmates.
