Livingston County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm someone is in custody, arrange a release, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Use the verified government contact that holds the particular record or custody information.
Official Livingston County Contacts
For a local jail question or a county-held record, begin with the office whose function matches the request. Livingston County has no current public inmate roster or booking-photo feed on its official website, so a specific custody question and a request for a record take different paths.
Livingston County Sheriff's Office
150 S Highlander Way
Howell, MI 48843
Main office: (517) 546-2440
Office hours: Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.; closed county holidays.
Livingston County Jail

Jail information, property, bail, release, and local custody questions: (517) 546-2445.
Central Records
Central Records is the Sheriff's Office starting point for police reports, FOIA, fingerprinting, and related requests. Non-emergency dispatch and the Central Records route: (517) 546-9111. For a county-jail booking file or image, identify the person, approximate booking date, and record sought, then ask Central Records to confirm the proper custodian.
The following routes keep custody, case, and record questions separate.
- County booking record or booking image: use Livingston County FOIA or the county's FOIA request portal. Michigan FOIA governs access to nonexempt county records, and a request can be narrowed by name, booking date, and arresting agency.
- Case status after booking: use MiCourt and the 53rd District Court for the usual first court path. Felony matters can continue through the 44th Circuit Court.
- State prison or MDOC supervision: use the official MDOC OTIS search. It is for state custody or supervision, not an ordinary Livingston County jail booking.
- Federal or immigration custody: use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator. These sources have separate custody labels and are not county booking records.
- Emergency or investigative information: call 911 for an emergency. The Sheriff's Investigative Services tip line is (517) 546-8477; it is for tips, not an inmate or records search.
For context on the no-roster finding and the official record sequence, see the Livingston County records overview. A booking allegation is not proof of guilt. Court disposition records provide the later legal outcome.
