Search Macomb Township Sex Offender Records
The main tool for searching sex offenders in Macomb Township is the Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry at mspsor.com. This is the official state database run by the Michigan State Police. It is free to use and open to anyone. You can search by name, address, or zip code. A radius search lets you see all registered offenders within a set distance of any address in Macomb Township.
The registry shows full name, date of birth, current address, offense details, tier level, photo, physical description, and vehicle information for each offender. You can also sign up for email alerts through the PSOR site. Alerts notify you when a new offender registers within a chosen radius of your address. Options include .25, .5, 1, 2, and 5 mile ranges.
Two other tools can help with broader background checks. The ICHAT system at michigan.gov/ichat lets you run a statewide criminal history check for $10. You need the person's name and date of birth. The OTIS database from the Michigan Department of Corrections shows current and past prisoners, including those serving time for sex offenses. Court records for Macomb Township cases filed in the 42nd District Court can be searched at courts.michigan.gov/case-search.
The Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website at nsopw.gov searches all participating state registries at once. This is useful if you think someone may have moved from another state.

Michigan SORA and the Three-Tier System
Michigan's Sex Offenders Registration Act, known as SORA, is found in MCL 28.721 et seq. The law was first passed in 1994 and has been updated many times. It sets the rules for who must register, how often they must check in, and how long they stay on the list. The Michigan State Police run the registry under SORA. There are roughly 45,000 registered offenders across the state at any given time.
SORA uses a three-tier system to classify offenders based on offense type. Tier I offenders must register for 15 years and verify their address once a year during their birth month. Tier II offenders stay on the registry for 25 years and must verify twice a year. Tier III offenders face lifetime registration and must verify every three months. The tier level is set by the offense of conviction, not by a risk assessment.
Each tier covers specific offenses under Michigan law. Tier I includes fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct under MCL 750.520e when the victim is an adult. Tier II covers second-degree criminal sexual conduct under MCL 750.520c and several offenses involving children. Tier III covers the most serious offenses, including first-degree criminal sexual conduct under MCL 750.520b, which requires lifetime registration. In late 2024, a federal judge ruled some portions of SORA unconstitutional, which could affect the tier status of roughly 17,000 people statewide. Changes are still working through the courts and legislature.
Registrants must report in person within three business days if they move, change jobs, or change their school enrollment. Failure to register is a felony. A first violation can bring up to four years in prison and a $5,000 fine. Under MCL 28.728c, Tier I offenders may petition to be removed from the registry after 10 years if they meet all conditions.
