Questions about official Manistee County criminal records should go to the public office that maintains the requested item. The sheriff and jail keep local report, booking, and custody information. The District and Circuit courts hold criminal case files at the courthouse in Manistee. The contacts below route common requests without treating this private reference site as a government office.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference site cannot retrieve records, run official checks, correct criminal-history data, or accept a Michigan set-aside filing. Contact the responsible public office.

Need an Official Record?

Use the office tied to the record rather than sending one broad request to several departments:

  • Circuit criminal case filings and certified copies: Manistee County Clerk, 415 Third Street, Manistee, MI 49660, 231-723-3331
  • Misdemeanor and felony preliminary files: 85th District Court, 415 Third Street, Manistee, MI 49660, 231-723-5010
  • Felony trial court administration: 19th Circuit Court, 415 Third Street, Manistee, MI 49660, 231-723-6664
  • Sheriff reports without pending charges and booking records: Manistee County Sheriff's Office, 1525 E. Parkdale Avenue, Manistee, MI 49660, 231-723-8393
  • Current county jail custody: Manistee County Jail, 1525 E. Parkdale Avenue, Manistee, MI 49660, 231-723-8435
  • Michigan criminal-history records: Michigan State Police Criminal Justice Information Center through ICHAT or the official fingerprint-review process

The sheriff counter accepts FOIA and accident-report submissions Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The jail line is available around the clock for current custody questions. The research sources do not post complete public-counter hours for the County Clerk, 85th District Court, or 19th Circuit Court, so call the correct court number before travel. A request for a sheriff incident report with pending charges must instead go to the Manistee County Prosecuting Attorney at 415 Third Street, 231-723-7518.

For county-level law-enforcement records, begin with the Manistee County Sheriff's Office at 1525 E. Parkdale Avenue, Manistee, MI 49660, 231-723-8393. Ask for a fee estimate because no fixed local paper-report or booking-record fee is published.
