Shiawassee County Booking Records

When someone gets arrested in Shiawassee County, they go through intake at the jail in Corunna. Staff create a booking record with the person's name, date of birth, physical description, and a photo. Charges are logged along with the arresting agency. Bond is set by the court. This information goes into the jail roster and becomes part of the public record.

Michigan's FOIA law at MCL 15.233 gives you the right to request copies of these records. Write to the FOIA coordinator at the Shiawassee County Sheriff's office. They have five business days to respond. MCL 15.234 limits what they can charge you. Fees cover actual costs for copies and labor after the first $20 of search time. Booking photos are public records in Michigan. The court said so in Patterson v. Allegan County Sheriff. The ACLU v. Calhoun County ruling in 2022 added to these protections by ruling that federal regulations cannot block FOIA access to jail records.

Note: Records tied to active investigations or jail security may be exempt under MCL 15.243.
