This Is Not a Government Office. This is an independently operated reference resource. We cannot retrieve an official file, perform a government background check, correct a record, or receive a set-aside filing. Those tasks belong to the responsible public office.
Need an Official Record?
Direct each Kalamazoo County request to the custodian that creates or maintains that record:
- Court case files: see criminal court case records, or contact the clerk of the court that heard the case
- Criminal records and rap sheets: contact the Michigan State Police Criminal Justice Information Center and use its official forms library for a documented correction or review form
- Arrest, booking, and jail records: use the official inmate-search entry or contact the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Records Section
- Official background checks: use MSP's ICHAT or authorized fingerprint process, as appropriate
- Police reports and incident records: contact the agency that wrote the report; KCSO also publishes its online-report rules
- Set-aside or expungement matters: review the Michigan Clean Slate resources and file with the court that entered the conviction
For sheriff-created reports, follow the KCSO records instructions and contact the KCSO Records Section, 1500 Lamont Avenue, Kalamazoo, MI 49048, at 269-385-6191.
