Crawford Jail and Sheriff Contacts
Use the contact that matches the question. The jail answers current county-custody questions around the clock. Dispatch is the non-emergency routing point, while a written county FOIA request is the proper path for a historical booking record or photograph.

Choose the route by record type:
- For a booking photo or jail record, use the county jail and the request steps on the home page.
- For a Grayling police incident report, contact Grayling Public Safety or file through the city clerk's FOIA route.
- For a warrant or failure-to-appear issue, follow the court contacts and safe resolution steps under Most Wanted.
- For the final result of a criminal case, use the Crawford court clerk or Michigan's official case search.
- For a person sentenced into state corrections, use the Michigan Department of Corrections OTIS search.
- For federal or immigration detention, use the federal BOP or ICE locator rather than the county jail record.
