Who Holds Beaverton Arrest Records
The police department keeps the report for any arrest it made or worked on. Custody follows a different path. County planning papers call the Gladwin County Jail the only lockup in the area. Local police departments book people there. That makes the county jail the booking stop for a Beaverton arrest. Intake there can generate a booking card, custody data, charges, and bond or release terms. A photo is taken when one applies.
Beaverton is one of the county's two incorporated cities. The 2020 Census counted 1,145 residents. That number says nothing about jail use. Someone sitting in the county jail may have been arrested by another agency or transferred in from elsewhere. Someone arrested in Beaverton can also be released or moved along quickly. Agency, place of arrest, and current facility are three separate facts.
Beaverton Has No Verified Arrest Feed
The police department's own page offers contacts, an email address, dispatch details, and a Facebook link. It posts no arrest log. No bookings list, daily bulletin, or photo search exists either. With no feed to check, the posting hour, lag, weekend schedule, and archive depth all stay unknown.
That gap invites guessing, so resist it. A Facebook post covers one incident or a public warning. It is not a booking list. An unofficial directory that prints the words "recent bookings" does not set the county's update schedule. The official county site confirms no public roster.
Missing online is not the same as never arrested. The city may simply not publish the record as a feed. The county may hold it offline. The person may already be released. The case may not have reached court yet. One direct, narrow question beats a dozen searches of copied lists.
Where Beaverton Arrests May Surface
Official channels come first. Each one covers a different custody stage, from city enforcement to county booking to court, and none is a complete list of Beaverton recent arrests on its own.
| Source | Useful for | Limits |
|---|---|---|
| Beaverton Police | City incident and arrest report | No verified public blotter or photo search |
| Gladwin County Jail | Current county custody and booking inquiry | No verified public roster interface |
| Sheriff FOIA | Specific releasable booking card or photograph | Exemptions, redactions, and variable fees may apply |
| MI-VINE | A matching custody result and alerts | Missing results require jail confirmation |
| District or Circuit Court | Filed case and final outcome | Not a live custody locator |
| News or historical sites | Selected or older material | Unofficial, incomplete, and possibly stale |
The county publishes no booking-photo release policy. Ask the agency that controls the image. Release still runs through Michigan FOIA. One caution: an unofficial site can keep a photo long after custody or court status changes.
Check Someone Arrested in Beaverton
Follow the event, not the rumor. Work city, then county, then court. Release and transfer matter too, so lean on official current sources before any secondary report.
- Try VINELink after selecting Michigan and Gladwin County if offered. Confirm the name, facility, and custody status rather than relying on a name alone.
- Call the Gladwin County jail line at 989-426-7121 if a recent booking is missing or disputed. MI-VINE is not guaranteed to be a full historical list.
- Contact Beaverton Police at (989) 435-9111 for the city-held arrest or incident report. Central dispatch's non-emergency number is 989-426-9284.
- Use the Beaverton FOIA process for a city record. Use the Sheriff's FOIA email for a county jail booking card or releasable booking photo.
- Check the 80th District Court for the case after filing. Felony matters may move to Circuit Court after district-stage proceedings.
The Gladwin County recent arrest hub sorts county booking, photo, court, and custody sources into one place. MDOC OTIS covers a different situation. It tracks people sentenced to Michigan prison or supervision. It does not cover a county jail booking. Federal and immigration holds need the matching federal locator. Start with the hub before any secondary site. Note: Release can end a custody match while the police report, booking card, and court case all remain on file.
Request Beaverton Police Arrest Files
Beaverton's FOIA page describes a ten-business-day response window. The review runs under Michigan FOIA. The city request form lists the City of Beaverton at 128 Saginaw Street. Fees can apply. Labor, copying, and postage are billed at actual cost, though these are city figures that say nothing about the Sheriff's charges for a jail booking record or photo.

Beaverton, MI 48612
Phone: (989) 435-9111

Email: bdavis@beavertonmi.org
The City Clerk is Janelle Keen-Burgoyne. Her email is jkeen@beavertonmi.org. The phone is (989) 435-3511 extension 3. Requests can also reach info@beavertonmi.org or the office counter in person. Use the official Beaverton request form, name the record and its date range, and ask for electronic delivery when that helps. A police report request belongs at the city. A booking photo or jail intake card from the Sheriff goes to cosheriff@gladwincounty-mi.gov. Ask each office to state the legal basis for any withheld part, since juvenile, victim, medical, sealed, and confidential material may be redacted.
Beaverton Arrests Enter County Custody
Beaverton arrests head straight into county custody. There is no city jail here. Under the county plan, local departments book arrestees into the Gladwin County Jail. The Sheriff holds the jail-side record from that moment on. So even when Beaverton Police make the arrest, the county holds the booking information. Anyone tracing a Beaverton recent arrest may need to call both offices. That is how to get the full picture.
Held at the county jail does not mean Beaverton Police made the arrest. The jail also houses offenders from other local departments and accepts transfers. Someone arrested in Beaverton can likewise move out of that facility fast. Release, a transfer, state custody, or federal custody all change where the current record sits.
The official county plan backs up the local-department booking route. It makes no mention of a public roster. The county publishes no online booking list. There is no set release schedule and no same-day photo feed for Beaverton arrests.
Beaverton Police Contact Is Not a Blotter
The Beaverton Police page is a contact point. It is not a blotter. It names Chief Brad Davis and links the department's official Facebook account. Both are useful for identifying the agency and reaching staff. Neither one amounts to an arrest record. A Facebook post can be selective, edited, or deleted. The agency's own record still exists. Treat social media as a lead, not the file itself.
The official Beaverton Police Department page displays the department's current contact details.

The page offers a phone route and little else. It shows no booking list or custody roster. For current department details, start with the city page. A non-emergency law-enforcement matter goes through central dispatch, while a true emergency calls for 911. A records request, a jail custody call, and a court search stay separate, because each office controls a different piece of the arrest record.
Beaverton Arrest News Has Limits
Gladwin County Record & Beaverton Clarion is the county-local paper and can report from both cities. Its accessible site carries no arrest log, fixed publishing schedule, or mugshot gallery. Regional outlets such as Our Midland and WNEM may pick up a Beaverton or Gladwin County incident. Editors decide when it is newsworthy. Editorial selection is not a booking feed.
Mugshots.com keeps a historical Gladwin County page that links both Gladwin and Beaverton. It is an unofficial publisher with older filters, not a live custody service. The site itself disclaims current accuracy. Look-alike domains, redirected home pages, and neighboring county sections will only waste time.
News and third-party pages should follow official sources, never replace them. Verify any claim with Beaverton Police, the Sheriff, or the court that owns the record. A news photo may come from an agency. It may also come from the outlet's own files. So treat the label carefully.
Search Beaverton Arrest Records
Pick the source that owns the fact. City police know the event, the county jail tracks custody and booking, MI-VINE sends alerts, and the court holds disposition.
