Kalamazoo County Arrest Records

Kalamazoo County arrest records take into account events when residents of Kalamazoo County were taken into custody by law enforcement. They are official criminal justice records and serve significant functions. Law enforcement officers create arrest records during booking-a procedure in which they enter an arrested individual’s personal information and the reason for the arrests into an agency’s permanent records. Note that arrest records are simply evidence of arrest and not proof of guilt.

Arrest records are public information, although record portions with sensitive details, like social security numbers and juvenile information, are redacted from public copies. Other details like the arrestee’s name, booking date, detention facility, the charges filed, bond amount and type, and mugshots are publicly available. Interested persons can look up booking records online using the search website provided by the sheriff’s office. Searches are done using an inmate’s name and booking number.
