Different offices hold different parts of an arrest:
- For a county booking record or photograph, follow the county arrest-record request path and use the Sheriff's FOIA form.
- For current county custody, use the official jail roster or call the Van Buren County Jail.
- For a release or transfer alert, use MI-VINE online or call 800-770-7657.
- For a court outcome or warrant question, contact the proper 7th District Court or 36th Circuit Court clerk.
- For a city police report, contact South Haven Police, Paw Paw Police, or Hartford Police based on the arresting agency.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Michigan Department of Corrections OTIS search and MDOC records contacts.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the official BOP or ICE locator rather than the county roster.
