Searching Dickinson County 72 Hour Bookings

Start by checking VineLink. This free tool covers many Michigan jails. Pick Michigan, type the person's name, and see if Dickinson County has any matches. VineLink shows custody status and lets you sign up for alerts if the person is released or moved. The data comes from the jail's own system, but there can be a lag. Not every Dickinson County booking will show up on VineLink right away.

If VineLink does not have what you need, call the sheriff at 906-774-6270. The jail staff can confirm if someone is in custody and share the basic booking details with you. Give them the person's full name and date of birth. They handle these calls regularly. You can also send an email to dickinsonsheriff@dickinsoncountymi.gov. This is a good option if you want to ask about booking records during off hours when the office is not taking general calls. Put the person's name and approximate arrest date in the email, and ask about their booking status. The staff will get back to you, though email responses may take longer than a phone call.
