How to Search Troy Sex Offender Records
The Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry at mspsor.com is the best place to search for sex offenders in Troy. The site is free. You do not need to create an account. Search by first and last name, a specific address, or a zip code in Troy. A radius search feature lets you view all offenders within .25 to 5 miles of any given address.
Each offender profile on the PSOR shows a current photo, full name, date of birth, registration number, tier level, listed offense, physical description, current address, and vehicle information. The registry also shows campus enrollment details if the offender attends a college in Troy. You can use the direct search page at mspsor.com/Home/Search to get there quickly.
Two other databases are worth checking. ICHAT at michigan.gov/ichat shows statewide criminal history records for $10 per search. You need a name and date of birth. OTIS at mdocweb.state.mi.us/otis2 covers Michigan Department of Corrections records, including incarcerated sex offenders. To search court records for Troy cases in the 52nd District Court, use courts.michigan.gov/case-search.
If you want to search across state lines, the National Sex Offender Public Website at nsopw.gov checks all participating state registries at once. This is the right tool if you suspect a person has moved from another state to Troy.
The PSOR also has a free email alert system. Sign up at mspsor.com and choose a radius around your Troy address. You will get a notification when a new offender registers within that range or when an existing offender's information changes.
Michigan SORA in Troy
Michigan's Sex Offenders Registration Act is codified at MCL 28.721 et seq. The law applies to all cities in Michigan, including Troy. It sets the rules for who must register, what information must be reported, how often check-ins are required, and how long an offender stays on the registry. The Michigan State Police enforce SORA statewide, but local departments like the Troy Police Department handle in-person registration.
SORA uses three tiers. Tier I covers less serious offenses, like fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct under MCL 750.520e when the victim is an adult. Tier I offenders register for 15 years and verify once a year. Tier II covers offenses like second-degree criminal sexual conduct under MCL 750.520c. Those offenders must register for 25 years and check in twice a year. Tier III is for the most serious offenses, including first-degree criminal sexual conduct under MCL 750.520b. Tier III means lifetime registration with quarterly check-ins.
Oakland County, where Troy is located, has its own circuit court and district court system. The Oakland County Sheriff at oaklandsheriff.com also handles registration duties for parts of the county not served by a city department. The Oakland County Circuit Court is at 1200 N Telegraph, Pontiac, and can be reached at 248-858-1000. For Troy-specific cases, the 52nd District Court handles misdemeanor and small claims matters.
Failing to register or verify is a felony in Michigan. A first offense can lead to up to four years in prison and a $5,000 fine under MCL 28.729. Subsequent violations carry heavier penalties. If you have questions about your registration status or obligations, contact the MSP SOR Unit at (517) 241-1806.
