Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or similar search detail into a third-party search tool on this site, that query is sent to the provider operating the tool. This site does not store those search terms in its own records.
Messages
If you email us or submit a message, we keep the information needed to read it and respond. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a legal requirement applies.

Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use pages about Montmorency County jail records, Alpena jail custody, MDOC OTIS, or related locator resources. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some features or partner tools may work differently if cookies are disabled.

- To send search requests to the appropriate partner service when you choose to use one.

Links to Other Websites
This site links to public and official resources, including the Alpena jail roster, Montmorency sheriff pages, Michigan FOIA materials, Michigan OTIS, VINELink, BOP, ICE, and court-search portals. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy for the destination website controls its collection and use of information.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for interest-based ads. That tracking occurs under the partner's policy, not this notice.
