Macomb County Jail Holds Warren Inmates

Warren does not have its own jail for long-term holding. The Warren Police Department has a lockup at headquarters for temporary detention after an arrest. People stay there briefly. Then they get moved to the Macomb County Jail at 43565 Elizabeth Road in Mount Clemens. The Macomb County Sheriff runs this facility and keeps the jail roster records.

The Macomb County Jail has capacity for over 1,000 inmates and houses people from Warren, Sterling Heights, Clinton Township, and all other cities in the county. Under MCL 800.7, the sheriff has full charge and custody of the jail. MCL 800.13 requires the sheriff to keep a record of every person booked in, including their name, commitment date, and the charges against them. These records form the core of the jail roster that you can search online. Visit the Macomb County jail roster page for more details on the county system.
