Warren Police Records, Macomb County Jail and 37th Court Search
A Warren arrest can generate different records at different agencies. Warren Police maintains the incident and arrest report, the 37th District Court handles Warren misdemeanors and the first stages of felony cases, and people transferred into county custody are searched through the Macomb County Jail inmate locator.
This page is designed for both record researchers and families dealing with a recent arrest. It explains where the person may be, how to confirm charges, how to request the police file, when to use FOIA, where bond is paid, how jail calls and visits work, where to send money and mail, and what to check before release.

What to do immediately after a Warren arrest
A newly arrested person may first remain with Warren Police before any Macomb County Jail entry appears. When the arrest occurred only hours ago, begin with Warren Police prisoner information rather than assuming the county inmate locator is already current.
Call Warren Police Detention
Call 586-574-4844 for prisoner information. If you need the general non-emergency line, call 586-574-4700.
Give enough identifying information
Provide the full legal name, date of birth, approximate arrest time, arrest location and any known alias.
Ask where the person is physically held
Confirm whether the person remains in Warren Police detention, was released, was transported for medical treatment or was transferred to Macomb County Jail.
Ask whether arraignment occurred
A bond amount seen shortly after arrest may change when the 37th District Court conducts arraignment.
Search Macomb County after transfer
Use the official JailTracker inmate locator after county booking is complete.
Save the inmate number
Family services such as mail, deposits, calls and visits are easier when you have the current county inmate number.
Search the 37th District Court case
Confirm the filed charge, case number, bond, attorney and next hearing instead of relying only on the booking description.
Ask about every hold
Another warrant, probation matter, detainer or separate case may prevent release after one bond is paid.
Report urgent medical information
Give the current facility medication, dangerous withdrawal, pregnancy, disability, self-harm or other serious safety information promptly.
Recheck before paying or traveling
Custody and bond status can change during arraignment, transport and jail intake.
“I am trying to locate [full legal name], date of birth [date], who may have been arrested in Warren on [date and approximate time]. Can you confirm whether the person remains in Warren Police detention, was released or was transferred to Macomb County Jail?”
