Can I have the Police Department check someone else’s name to see if they have a record or a warrant?

Absolutely not. Michigan Law strictly prohibits any police department from sharing information obtained from the Law Enforcement Information Network (LEIN) or the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) computer system with anyone other than law enforcement personnel. The department could be fined or lose its access to violations of these regulations.

You can perform a record search through the Michigan State Police using iCHAT (Internet Criminal History Access Tool). There is a fee involved.
