Search Troy Recent Bookings
Troy recent bookings are handled through the Oakland County Jail system. With about 85,000 residents, Troy is one of the biggest cities in Oakland County. The Troy Police Department makes arrests locally, but all jail bookings go through the county. You can search for current inmates online using the CLEMIS system. This free tool shows who has been booked, what charges they face, and their bond status. Below you will find the steps to search Troy booking records and other ways to get arrest information.
Troy at a Glance
Troy Bookings Through CLEMIS
Oakland County uses the CLEMIS inmate locator to show current jail bookings. CLEMIS stands for Courts and Law Enforcement Management Information System. It covers all of Oakland County, including Troy. When Troy police arrest someone, that person gets booked at the Oakland County Jail in Pontiac. Their record then shows up in the CLEMIS system.
The search is simple. Go to the CLEMIS site and enter a first or last name. You can also browse all current inmates. Each result shows the inmate's name, booking date, charges, and bond amount. The tool updates throughout the day as new bookings come in and people get released. There is no cost to search.
Troy police handle the arrest side of things. The department is at 500 W Big Beaver Rd, Troy, MI 48084. You can reach them at (248) 524-3477 for questions about specific arrests. For jail questions, call the Oakland County Jail at (248) 858-5001.
Troy Arrest Records and FOIA
Michigan's Freedom of Information Act gives you the right to get copies of booking and arrest records. Under MCL 15.231, these are public records. You can send a FOIA request to the Troy Police Department for arrest reports. For jail booking records, send your request to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.
A good FOIA request includes the full name of the person, a date range, and the type of record you want. Troy police must respond within five business days. Copies cost about $0.10 per page. If the search takes a lot of staff time, they may charge labor fees too. MCL 15.234 sets the rules for what agencies can charge.
Mugshots are public in Michigan. The court in Patterson v. Allegan County Sheriff ruled that booking photos are public records. So if you ask for a mugshot from a Troy arrest, the agency must provide it unless there is a specific exemption that applies.
Note: Some records from active investigations may be held back under MCL 15.243.
Oakland County Jail and Troy Inmates
The Oakland County Jail in Pontiac is where Troy inmates are held after arrest. The Oakland County Corrections division runs the facility. It is one of the largest jails in Michigan. The jail handles bookings from dozens of cities across the county, including Troy, Southfield, Farmington Hills, Rochester Hills, and Waterford Township.
After booking, an inmate must be arraigned within 48 hours per MCL 764.26. The 52-4 District Court in Troy handles arraignments for crimes that happen within city limits. A judge sets bail or bond at arraignment. Some people post bond and get released the same day. Others stay in county jail until their case resolves.
The Oakland County Inmate Search is another way to look up current inmates. This tool lets you search by name and shows detailed booking information. It is separate from CLEMIS but covers the same jail population.
State Criminal Record Tools
Beyond the county jail search, Michigan offers state level databases. ICHAT is the state police criminal history tool. It costs $10 and shows felony and serious misdemeanor convictions. It does not show current bookings. It only shows cases where someone was convicted.
The MDOC OTIS system tracks people in state prison. If a Troy resident was convicted and sent to prison, their record shows up in OTIS. The search is free. It shows sentence length, charges, and release dates. For people still in the county jail, OTIS will not have their records.
Troy Arraignment and Bond Process
After someone is booked at the Oakland County Jail for a Troy arrest, they must see a judge within 48 hours. MCL 764.26 sets that deadline. The 52-4 District Court in Troy handles most arraignments for crimes within city limits. At arraignment, the judge reads the charges and sets bail or bond.
Bond can be cash, surety, or personal recognizance. For less serious charges, a judge might release someone on personal recognizance, which means no money changes hands. For felonies or violent crimes, the bond can be high. Some charges carry no bond at all. The booking record stays active in the CLEMIS system until the person is released or transferred. Once charges are formally filed, those records also become part of the court file, which is a separate public record.
