Who to Contact at Saginaw County Jail (Saginaw Corrections Facility) — address, divisions, and where to go

The Saginaw County Sheriff's Office is at 311 S. Harrison Street, Saginaw, MI 48602. This is the central hub for both law enforcement and corrections services - the place to go for jail-related questions, paperwork, or in-person business.

The Law Enforcement Division at 311 S. Harrison Street includes Road Patrol, the Detective Bureau, and the Records Bureau. Quick breakdown: Road Patrol handles patrol operations, the Detective Bureau manages investigations, and the Records Bureau coordinates official documents and public-facing record services.

The same location houses the Corrections Division - Jail Transport, the Plus Office, and the County Jail itself. The jail holds about 511 inmates daily, so getting routed to the right unit can save you real time when you're dealing with something urgent.

The Records Bureau handles official records and administrative services for the jail and Sheriff's Office. Five full-time employees serve the public with records, gun checks, civil process, intake and release, evidence preservation, electronic monitoring, and inmate services. This is where you call when you need to confirm an intake or release status, figure out where to send a records request, or get pointed to the right person for inmate-services questions that aren't handled by a third-party vendor.

If someone you're trying to reach seems "unavailable" for a while, court-related movement is often the reason. The Sheriff's Office provides security for the Saginaw County Courthouse and operates transport units that escort inmates throughout the court system and the state. An incarcerated person may be off-site for court or in transit, which can affect when messages get through or when certain questions can be answered.

Not every need involves paperwork or scheduling. The Sheriff's Office has roughly 80 to 100 support officers serving seven divisions: Aviation; Chaplain/Victim Advocate; Civil Process and Handicap Parking; Emergency Response; Law Enforcement Medical Support; Marine Patrol/Dive Team; and Posse. Together, they contribute more than 17,000 hours of service per year to Saginaw County. If your question is about support services rather than day-to-day jail operations, these divisions may be able to help.

Some jail-related services run through outside partners, not a single front desk. The Sheriff's Office contracts with agencies and organizations including MBS Airport, Juvenile Courts, Kochville DDA, Spaulding Township, and the U.S. Marshals. For questions about a contracted service or customer-service issues with a provider's system, start with that provider directly. Circle back to the Sheriff's Office if your issue involves jail status, intake/release, or official records.

• ✓ Contact the vendor/customer-service line when your issue is about a contracted service process (for example, a provider-run account or service question).
• ✓ Contact Corrections Division staff when your question is about something happening inside the County Jail (the jail is part of the Corrections Division at 311 S. Harrison Street).
• ✓ Contact the Records Bureau when you need help with records or administrative services like intake and release, evidence preservation, electronic monitoring, or inmate services.

Quick Next Steps

• ✓ Start with the main location: 311 S. Harrison Street, Saginaw, MI 48602.
• ✓ If your question is about intake/release, electronic monitoring, or inmate services, focus on the Records Bureau.
• ✓ If your issue is a customer-service problem tied to a contracted service, use the vendor’s support channel first, then follow up with the Sheriff’s Office if you still need help connecting it to jail operations.
