Requests for an official Alpena County criminal record must go to its government custodian. Although this privately operated resource cannot obtain, amend, or certify a record, the local and state routes below help direct a request to the Sheriff, courts, or Michigan State Police.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference resource cannot retrieve criminal histories, perform an official background check, change a record, or receive a Michigan set-aside filing. Contact the government office that holds the requested material.
