NO FCRA USE. This privately operated resource has no government affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, tenant, insurance, or another use governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Its purpose is to identify Grand Traverse County and Michigan record sources. It is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This private reference site is independent of all government offices. It does not store official criminal records, retrieve files, perform an official check, or submit documents for a visitor.
Its content routes readers to Grand Traverse County Shared Central Records, the local criminal courts, Michigan State Police CJIC, the Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry, and relevant outside tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use is permitted only when lawful and consistent with these limits. A visitor must not:
- Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
- Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
- Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
- Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
- Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
- Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information found here or through a linked tool may not be used to stalk, threaten, harass, intimidate, or unlawfully discriminate. Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry data is supplied for public safety awareness. Misuse against a listed person may violate Michigan law, and vigilantism is forbidden.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Grand Traverse County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not create consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks. The resource and its advertising partners are not offered for regulated screening or eligibility decisions. Data from any page or linked tool may not be used to:
- Decide whether to hire or fire someone
- Screen potential renters or housing applicants
- Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
- Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
- Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules
A regulated purpose requires an authorized official process through Michigan State Police CJIC or an appropriate FCRA-compliant provider.
5. No Legal Advice
The material is general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed Michigan attorney can assess how a charge, conviction, warrant, or set-aside rule applies to specific facts.
6. No Warranties
All material and functions are supplied “as is,” without a promise that:
- The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
- The site will stay up and running without interruptions
- Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
- Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate
Charges may be filed, amended, dismissed, restricted, or set aside, so older information can become incomplete. No content here is an official statement by a court, sheriff, or agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
