Where to Request Genesee Records
Start with the office that created or holds the record. GCSO Corrections handles county custody questions, while an arresting city police department can hold the related incident report. Requests for a specific document should name the person, date or date range, known report or booking number, and agency. The cited office can say whether it is the right custodian, whether an item may be released, and whether a fee estimate applies.

City Police and FOIA Routes
For an arrest in Flint, Burton, or Fenton, the city agency may hold the incident report even when a later custody record is held by GCSO. Ask the city and county agencies which custodian has the specific record needed.

State, Court, and Federal Locators
Choose the system that matches the custody stage. Michigan Department of Corrections OTIS is for its state-prison and supervision records, not people held only in a county jail or city lockup. A later court case has its own record through MiCOURT. For federal or immigration custody, use the appropriate federal locator rather than a county source.
- Michigan Department of Corrections OTIS for the eligible state-prison and supervision record.
- MDOC OTIS information for scope and limits, including its exclusion of county-jail and city-lockup records.
- Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator for the federal custody and release-record slice. It does not provide a county booking-photo archive.
- ICE Online Detainee Locator System for people in the system’s stated ICE or qualifying recent CBP custody scope.
The Genesee County records reference explains the difference between these sources. For an urgent safety matter, contact emergency services rather than relying on a custody lookup or a private reference site.
