Questions about official Wayne County criminal records usually belong with the government office that created or keeps the record. The routes below distinguish sheriff files, court records, Michigan criminal histories, and city police reports. We are a private reference site and cannot retrieve, amend, certify, or file any official record.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference resource cannot run an official check, obtain a Wayne County file, correct or remove an entry, or accept a Michigan set-aside application. Contact the responsible public office for those services.

Need an Official Record?

Send each Wayne County request to the office that holds that type of record:

  • Police incident reports: use the Detroit, Dearborn, Livonia, or other arresting agency's records channel
  • Michigan criminal histories: use the Michigan State Police Criminal Justice Information Center and ICHAT
  • Court case files: review the Wayne County court case route or call the clerk for the court that heard the matter
  • Set-aside filings: submit the correct Michigan form to the court that entered the conviction
  • Arrest, booking, and custody records: contact the Wayne County Sheriff's Office
  • Fingerprint record review: follow the official Michigan State Police fingerprint procedure
