  • In Michigan, if I perform a search and subsequently print off the reports is the subject of the search informed?
    The details for the "Internet Criminal History Access Tool (ICHAT)" (if that's the one that was used) can be accessed with the "Michigan Criminal Records" link above. That search is conducted by the Michigan state patrol, and only informs about their own service, not what other services do.

  • How to find out if a person in a state has been arrested?
    Most arrest are made by local law enforcement, such as city police or county sheriffs. They tend to have their own sites with inmates lists, sometimes called arrest logs. Periodicals such as local news also publish recent arrests online for the public.

  • My biological father passed and I'm trying to get some info on him. Please help?
    Do you already know the first, last and full middle name? Past residences? Date of death? Any known relatives? If it's a common name you will need to narrow it down by location. The location can then give you names of relatives to expand your search.

  • How do I find out if there are any warrants out against me?
    Depends on where you need to look, for Wayne County, their sheriff department has an open public search of warrants, Lansing and Midland release a list (as opposed to a data search form). If you are not sure, try as many of the public ones as possible. Active warrants or outstanding warrants (they basically mean the same thing) are issued by the courts/judges, and they have a copy of it also.
