Search Presque Isle County Sex Offenders Online

The Michigan PSOR search page is the right place to start when looking up registered sex offenders in Presque Isle County. The search costs nothing and anyone can use it. Enter a name to look for a specific person, or search by zip code or street address to see all registered offenders near a given location. The county filter on the search form lets you pull all active registrants with a Presque Isle County address on file.

Results from the PSOR include each registrant's full name, current photo, home address, and any secondary addresses they have reported. You will also see the offense category, tier classification, and vehicle information. Presque Isle County is a small, rural northern Michigan county with one of the lower populations in the Lower Peninsula, so the number of active registrants is limited. The registry still covers all of them, and the data reflects what registrants are legally required to report on an ongoing basis.

The main PSOR homepage explains the registry's purpose and how to interpret search results. The Michigan State Police manages the registry statewide, and all data comes from local sheriff's offices and state corrections records.

The Michigan State Police sex offender registry search tool shown below is the primary public resource for finding registered offenders anywhere in Michigan, including Presque Isle County.

The search is available at all times with no cost or registration required.

Presque Isle County Registration Office

Sex offender registration in Presque Isle County is handled by the Presque Isle County Sheriff's Office, located at 267 N. 2nd St., Rogers City, MI 49779. The main phone number is 989-734-2156. You can find additional information on the office's website at presqueislesheriff.com. Registration must be completed in person. Mail and online registration are not accepted anywhere in Michigan.

When you come in to register, bring a valid government-issued photo ID and proof of your current address. You should also have information about any vehicles you own or regularly use. Michigan law under MCL 28.723 requires registration within three business days of release from custody or three business days after establishing a new Michigan residence. Any change in address, vehicle information, or online identifiers must also be reported within three business days under MCL 28.725. All of these rules apply in Presque Isle County the same as everywhere else in the state.

The initial registration fee is $50. Annual renewal costs $50 as well. The maximum total a person can pay over a lifetime is $550 under state law.

Note: Call the sheriff's office before coming in to confirm current office hours, as they may vary around county holidays.

Tier Levels for Presque Isle County Registrants

Michigan's sex offender tier system applies uniformly across all counties. Under MCL 28.725a, every registered sex offender is assigned to Tier I, Tier II, or Tier III. The tier is based entirely on the offense of conviction, nothing else. It does not change based on where someone lives or what they do after conviction.

Tier I covers lower-level offenses such as fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct under MCL 750.520e. These registrants verify their information once per year and remain on the registry for 15 years. Tier II applies to mid-range offenses, including second-degree criminal sexual conduct under MCL 750.520c. Tier II registrants report every six months and stay on the registry for 25 years. Tier III is the most serious category. First-degree criminal sexual conduct under MCL 750.520b, which typically involves penetration with aggravating factors, places someone in Tier III. Those registrants must verify their information every three months and remain on the public registry for life. The Michigan State Police assigns tier status at the time of initial registration based on the conviction record.

Note: Tier assignments are made at the state level and cannot be changed or adjusted by the Presque Isle County Sheriff's Office.

Courts Handling Sex Offenses in Presque Isle County

Felony sex offense cases in Presque Isle County are prosecuted through the 53rd Circuit Court. Misdemeanor-level offenses go to the 89th District Court. The circuit court conviction is what determines the offense of record, which then drives the tier classification and the length of required registration.

Court records for Presque Isle County cases can be searched using the MiCOURT Case Search tool provided through the Michigan courts website. MiCOURT gives the public access to docket entries, case summaries, and sentencing records for cases entered into the statewide system. It is useful if you want to verify someone's conviction history or review the charges that resulted in a registration requirement.

Other Resources for Presque Isle County

The Michigan Offender Tracking Information System (OTIS) is a separate tool run by the Michigan Department of Corrections. It covers individuals currently on parole or probation statewide, including those released back to Presque Isle County. OTIS does not require a login and is open to the public. It complements the sex offender registry, since not every person under MDOC supervision has a sex offense, and not every registrant is under MDOC supervision.

The ICHAT database provides Michigan criminal history records, including both felonies and misdemeanors, for $10 per search. If you need a broader view of someone's conviction history beyond sex offenses alone, ICHAT covers that. To report concerns about a registrant's compliance in Presque Isle County, contact the sheriff's office directly at 989-734-2156, or reach the Michigan State Police SOR unit at (517) 241-1806 or by email at psors@michigan.gov.

The National Sex Offender Public Website connects all state registries into a single searchable tool. If someone moved to Presque Isle County from another state, NSOPW can confirm whether they were registered elsewhere first.

Note: Questions about compliance reporting can also be directed to the MSP SOR unit by emailing psors@michigan.gov.
