Official Ottawa County Contacts
Contact the office that owns the record or controls the custody decision. The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office is the official hub for county law-enforcement and jail contacts. Its administrative office is at 12220 Fillmore Street, West Olive, MI 49460. Call 616-738-4000, or 888-731-1001 from within Ottawa County. Published administrative hours are Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; the office is listed as closed Friday through Sunday.
The Ottawa County Jail is at 12130 Fillmore Street, West Olive, MI 49460. The jail phone is 616-738-4650. For inmate information or the shift supervisor, the Corrections page lists 616-786-4140 as available at all times. Confirm office hours and phone routing on the official page before travel because public schedules and call trees may change.
For a criminal or service report, use the OCSO Records Unit instructions and submit the written request through the Ottawa County FOIA Center. A first-time online requester must create an account. The sheriff explains that a response is generally issued within five business days and may include a ten-business-day extension, but that timing is not a promise of production on the fifth day.
