Van Buren Jail and Sheriff
The Sheriff and Corrections Division are the appropriate county contacts for current jail custody and a formal county booking-record request. The official online FOIA route lets a requester select Sheriff records and describe a specific arrest, booking, jail record, or photograph.

Use the home page for the custody, roster, booking-record, court, and state-custody paths. The current roster is for people still held, while a formal request is the route for a specific county file.
- For a South Haven, Paw Paw, or Mattawan incident report, contact the arresting municipal police department.
- For a case status or disposition, use the county court links and MiCOURT.
- For an active-warrant question, call the 7th District Court or Sheriff rather than relying on an old online claim.
- For a state prisoner or supervised person, use the official Michigan OTIS system.
- For possible federal or immigration custody, use the BOP or ICE locator that matches the situation.
