Wyoming Overview
Kent County Holds Wyoming Jail Roster
Wyoming does not have a jail. The Kent County Correctional Facility handles all jail duties for the city. It is at 703 Ball Avenue, Grand Rapids, MI 49503. MCL 800.7 puts the sheriff in charge of the county jail. MCL 800.13 requires booking records for everyone who comes in, including their name, date, and the reason for commitment. Those records make up the jail roster.
Wyoming sits right next to Grand Rapids, so transport to the Kent County facility is short. After an arrest, the person reaches the jail within about 20 minutes in most cases. Once booked, they show up on the inmate lookup tool. Kent County is one of Michigan's largest counties, and the jail handles a high volume of bookings from cities across the area.

For Wyoming police reports, send a written FOIA request to the police department. For jail booking records, contact the Kent County Sheriff. Under MCL 15.233, describe the records you need clearly so staff can find them.
Fees are limited by MCL 15.234. The agency can charge for copies and labor after the first $20 of search time. Mugshots are public records in Michigan. The Patterson v. Allegan County Sheriff case confirmed that booking photos cannot be withheld under the privacy exemption. The agency must respond within five business days.
