Macomb County, Michigan, has about 886,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Macomb County depends on where the incident happened: the Macomb County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Michigan Freedom of Information Act requires of it.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Macomb County
The report of an incident is released by the agency that took it; the court and the jail hold their own records of the same event, but not the report.
In Macomb County that is the Macomb County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.
The FBI's list also places the Macomb County State Police in Macomb County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.
The FBI's list also carries Macomb Community College (campus police) and the Stony Creek Metropark Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority (other agency), each with a records office of its own.
The Grosse Pointe Shores Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Macomb County, so its arrests are not broken out for Macomb County here.
