How to Contact the Michigan Sheriffs' Association (phone & mailing address)

Call (517) 485-3135 to reach the Michigan Sheriffs' Association office. Use this number to confirm information, ask general questions, or check whether a letter or caller is actually from MSA.

If you need to send paperwork by fax, the Michigan Sheriffs’ Association office fax number is (517) 485-8016.

The mailing address is 620 S Capitol Ave Suite 320A, Lansing, MI 48933. Sending something time-sensitive? Double-check that you've included the suite number so it reaches the right office.

The Michigan Sheriffs' Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit registered in Michigan. Founded in 1877, it's the state's oldest law enforcement organization - so it's the right contact for broad, association-level questions rather than county-specific issues.

Got a question about a specific county - like a jail issue? You'll want to contact your county sheriff's office directly, not MSA. The MSA website has a "Find Your Local Sheriff" tool to help you locate the right contact.

Keep written inquiries simple and easy to route. Include your full name, the best way to reach you (phone number or return address), and a brief description of your question. If you're writing about a specific situation, add key details like dates, names, or reference numbers. Attach copies of any documents - never originals.

If you need to send supporting documents quickly, fax can be a practical alternative. The MSA fax number is (517) 485-8016.

1. Pause and write down the details - Note the caller’s name, the organization they claim to represent, the phone number they’re calling from, and exactly what they’re asking you to do.
2. Verify using the official MSA phone number - Call (517) 485-3135 yourself (don’t rely on the number the caller gives you) and ask whether the contact you received is legitimate.
3. Confirm the mailing destination before you send anything - If you’re asked to mail documents or payments, verify the address is 620 S Capitol Ave Suite 320A, Lansing, MI 48933 before you put anything in the mail.

Trust your instincts if something feels off - pressure tactics, urgency, or requests that don't add up. Save any letters, envelopes, or voicemail details and report the contact to local law enforcement. You can also call MSA directly at (517) 485-3135 to let them know about the attempted solicitation.
