Cheboygan Sheriff and Jail Contacts

The Cheboygan County Sheriff’s Department is the first contact for county-jail custody and sheriff-held booking material. Ask the office which unit handles the request and what it can lawfully disclose.

Cheboygan County Sheriff’s Department

870 South Main Street
P.O. Box 70
Cheboygan, MI 49721
Main, non-emergency, and jail: 231-627-3155
Fax: 231-627-8880
Sheriff Todd Ross: sheriff@cheboygancounty.net
Administrative assistant: Jodi Beauchamp, extension 882
Jail Administrator: Lt. Brenda Beckwith, extension 433, bbeckwith@cheboygancounty.net

The jail publishes visitation hours, not records-office hours. On-site visitation runs 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily, remote visitation runs 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. daily, and appointments must be arranged 24 hours ahead. Do not treat those times as a promise that records staff are available.

The county administrator’s general FOIA number is 231-627-8855 at 870 South Main Street. A sheriff or jail booking-photo request should still go to the sheriff when that office is the custodian. No flat booking-photo price is published. Ask for an estimate and electronic delivery; the sheriff policy allows applicable search, review, redaction, copying, media, and mailing charges.


Choose the Correct Record Office

Different agencies hold different parts of a Cheboygan County arrest. Use the source that matches the question.

  • For a county booking photo, jail status, or sheriff record, follow the county booking and records path and contact the sheriff.
  • For warrant procedure, use Sheriff's Most Wanted, then consult the appropriate court.
  • For Cheboygan city records, use the city Department of Public Safety request route; Mackinaw City Police has its own route.
  • For a court result, search the 89th District Court or 53rd Circuit MiCOURT system and verify the disposition.
  • For a sentenced state prisoner, use Michigan Department of Corrections OTIS. OTIS does not cover ordinary county-jail custody.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the official BOP or ICE locator, neither of which is a Cheboygan booking-photo gallery.
  • For release or custody notifications, use Michigan MI-VINE where the relevant agency participates.

An arrest or booking is an accusation. Every person is presumed innocent unless proven guilty, and the later court disposition may reduce, dismiss, or otherwise change the original charge.
