Who to Contact at the Michigan Sheriffs’ Association: Phone and Mailing Address for Families
Need to verify information or track down the right county sheriff contact in Michigan? The Michigan Sheriffs' Association (MSA) is a solid starting point. Here are the official phone and mailing details you'll need.
The MSA's main phone number is (517) 485-3135. Call this number to confirm information you were given, ask where to find a county sheriff's contact details, or double-check a message that claims it came from the MSA.
Tip: If you get an unexpected call, email, or request claiming to be from the MSA, call (517) 485-3135 to verify it directly. Don't rely on caller ID alone.
The MSA's mailing and street address is: 620 S Capitol Ave, Suite 320A, Lansing, MI 48933. Use this for written inquiries or when you need to send documents by mail.
