Monroe County Booking Records Through FOIA

To get detailed 72 hour booking records from Monroe County, file a FOIA request with the sheriff's office. Michigan's Freedom of Information Act at MCL 15.231 gives everyone this right. Under MCL 15.233, you do not need to explain why. Just describe the records you want. Send your request to 100 E. Second St., Monroe, MI 48161. Include the person's full name, date of birth if known, and the arrest date or date range you are looking for.

The sheriff has five business days to respond per MCL 15.235. Extensions of ten days are allowed for complex requests. Copy fees run $0.10 to $0.25 per page, plus labor costs at the lowest clerk rate. Deposits may be required if fees exceed $50.

The online roster already gives you a lot of booking info for free. But FOIA is the path for older records, more detail, or records that are no longer on the active roster.
