NO FCRA USE. Kalamazoo County Criminal History is privately operated and has no connection to a local, Michigan, or federal government body. The site and its advertising partners do not offer a service for credit, employment, insurance, housing, or another decision governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). This resource points readers to criminal-record channels in Kalamazoo County and Michigan. It is neither a private investigation business nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is an independent reference resource, not a government service. We do not hold official files, retrieve records on request, conduct government checks, or submit documents for a visitor.
Its role is to identify the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Records Section, the county criminal courts, the Michigan State Police Criminal Justice Information Center, and the Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry, along with outside tools that may assist lawful research.
2. Rules for Using This Site
As a condition of use, you must not:
- Use the service in violation of federal, Michigan, or local law
- Threaten, stalk, or harass a person with information found here
- Rely on site content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
- Attempt unauthorized access to any system or account
- Operate a scraper, bot, or other automated collection tool
- Interfere with performance or another visitor's access
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No visitor may use information from this site or a linked tool to intimidate, threaten, stalk, harass, or unlawfully discriminate against someone. Such conduct may be criminal. Michigan law gives special importance to proper use of Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry data. Registry information serves public-safety awareness and does not authorize vigilantism, workplace blacklisting, housing discrimination, or harm to a listed person.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not produce consumer reports, credit files, or official background checks. Services here and those offered by advertising partners are not designed to screen applicants, evaluate housing, set insurance rates, or assess credit. You may not use site or linked-tool information to:
- Make an employment decision
- Evaluate a housing or rental application
- Set insurance terms or judge creditworthiness
- Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or public benefit
- Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose
A person who needs a legally compliant report for such a purpose must use the authorized Michigan State Police process or a qualified FCRA-compliant provider.
5. No Legal Advice
Site content is general information, not legal advice. Although it describes criminal-record procedures in Kalamazoo County, it cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or set-aside rule affects a specific person. Consult an attorney licensed in Michigan for legal advice.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are offered "as is." No warranty promises that:
- Content will always be complete, accurate, or current
- Access will remain continuous and uninterrupted
- Every page will be free of errors or security flaws
- An outside search result will be correct or comprehensive
Criminal records can change when charges are filed, dismissed, restricted, or set aside. Gaps and delays are possible. Only the court, sheriff, Michigan State Police, or other responsible public office can give an official statement about its record.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to sheriff, court, Michigan agency, legal-aid, or outside search pages. Those destinations operate beyond our control. We are not responsible for their availability, accuracy, privacy practices, prices, or content. Read the destination's own terms before using it.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, logos, graphics, and code belong to Kalamazoo County Criminal History or its content partners. Written permission is required before copying, adapting, distributing, or creating derivative material from that content.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not responsible for loss or damage arising from site use, including reliance on content obtained here or through an outside service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to defend and hold us harmless against claims, demands, or proceedings caused by your use of the service or violation of these terms, including reasonable legal costs.
11. Governing Law
Michigan law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of the site must be brought in a court located in Michigan.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these conditions at any time. A revision becomes effective when the new text is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be restricted or ended at any time, with or without advance notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in force. The affected text will be limited only as much as necessary to make it enforceable.
