Clinton County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, retrieve an official record, or change a booking photo. Contact the responsible agency directly for those services.
Official Clinton County Contacts
The office to contact depends on whether the question concerns current jail custody, an older record, or a court case. Public counter hours were not verified in the official research, so call before visiting rather than relying on assumed hours.

Where Each Question Goes
Use the route that matches the record and custody state:
- For someone just booked or in county custody, call the jail inquiry line. Staff decide what can be disclosed.
- For a booking card or photo, use the sheriff FOIA email and county FOIA process. The home page explains narrow requests.
- For sheriff administration, use 989-224-5200. The Detective Bureau number is 989-224-5220, but it is not the jail line.
- For bond, arraignment, or disposition, contact 65A District Court criminal records at 989-224-5153 or DCCriminal@clinton-county.org.
- For state supervision, use MDOC OTIS. Use BOP for federal custody and ICE for immigration custody.
- For an emergency, call 911. Central Dispatch at 989-224-6792 is not a booking-record line.
