Troy Booking Overview
Troy 72 Hour Booking Process
Troy does not have its own jail. When someone is arrested in Troy, they get transported to the Oakland County Jail at 1200 N Telegraph Rd, Bldg 38E in Pontiac. The Oakland County Sheriff runs this facility under Sheriff Michael J. Bouchard. The jail has a total capacity of roughly 1,300 beds spread across the Main Jail, Annex with 487 beds, and East Annex with 398 beds. In 2024, Oakland County processed about 12,247 bookings total. A good number of those came from Troy arrests.
At the jail, staff log the person's name, date of birth, charges, bond amount, and booking time. This creates the 72 hour booking record. Troy police handle the arrest report side of things. But the actual booking data sits with Oakland County. So if you want to look up a Troy booking, you go to the county system. The Troy Police Department is at 900 W. Big Beaver Rd., Troy, MI 48084.

Troy 72 Hour Booking FOIA Requests
