Choose the office that owns the type and stage of record needed:
- For a booking record or photo, use the Clare County arrest-record request path and contact the Sheriff’s Records Division.
- For someone arrested during the current day, review Arrests Last 24 Hours and call the jail because no official feed is verified.
- For a multi-day incident trail, consult the Clare County Police Blotter, then request the agency record by date and incident number.
- For custody or release alerts, use the VINELink Custody Check and verify Clare County participation in the interface.
- For a court result, search MiCOURT or contact the Clare County court clerk rather than relying on booked charges.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Michigan Department of Corrections OTIS search; for federal or immigration custody, use the BOP or ICE locator.
