Police Departments across Tuscola County handle arrest record requests through their records divisions. Requesters are advised to identify the arresting agency and visit the department in person to contact the appropriate records custodian. Many departments also provide online systems for submitting public records requests. These requests typically require information such as the name of the arrestee and date of incident, and may involve processing fees. Local Police Departments located within the county include:

The Michigan State Police (MSP) is responsible for maintaining statewide criminal history records. Individuals seeking public criminal information can use the ICHAT (Internet Criminal History Access Tool) system, which allows users to search using the subject's full name and date of birth. Each search requires a $10 payment, and results are typically delivered immediately online. Users must first create an account to access the system.

For certified or fingerprint-based checks, commonly required for employment, licensing, or legal purposes, requesters must provide biometric data through a LiveScan fingerprinting process. These scans are submitted electronically by authorized vendors to the MSP for verification and processing. Fingerprint-based reports generally offer higher accuracy by eliminating errors linked to name similarities or incomplete identifiers. In-person services and physical record requests may be handled at:

Michigan State Police Headquarters

To access records in person, individuals may visit the Clerk of the Court's Offices during regular business hours and pay any nominal copying fees to receive certified or uncertified copies.

In addition to government resources, interested individuals may also find arrest records on third-party websites like InfoTracer, which aggregate publicly available data from various sources.
