How to Check for a Warrant in Iron Mountain
Checking for a warrant in Iron Mountain takes three stops, always in the same order: the case record first, then the court that holds it, then the agency that serves it. Most of that work happens by phone.
- Search MiCOURT case search by full name, or by case number if you have one.
- Call the 95B District Court at 906-774-0506 and ask whether the case has an active bench warrant.
- Call the Iron Mountain Police Department at 906-774-1234 for the original citation or report.
- Request the releasable record from the county clerk or the police department when the online file is thin.
- Call the Dickinson County Sheriff's Office at 906-774-6262 only for custody and booking questions.
No city or county page publishes a searchable Iron Mountain warrant list. That is why the order of your stops matters.
Note: The citation number from the officer is often the fastest way to find the case, so check the ticket before you call.
Iron Mountain Police and Warrant Reports
The Iron Mountain Police Department works out of 111 E. Fleshiem Street and answers at 906-774-1234, with a fax line at 906-774-4143. Its published directory names a director, a deputy director, a patrol lieutenant, detectives, sergeants, patrol officers, a dispatcher, and a clerk, and the page describes round-the-clock operation. This is the office for a police report, a citation, or a records question. It does not decide whether a warrant is active, and it cannot recall one or set a bond.
The Iron Mountain Police Department and Municipal Court
Iron Mountain runs a police department but no municipal court of its own. City ordinance, traffic, and infraction cases all go to the 95B District Court at the courthouse on Stephenson Avenue in Iron Mountain.

Only one of those two buildings can answer the warrant question. Bring the case number and photo identification, then ask for the current status and the next required step.
Crime Solvers, Tips, and Iron Mountain Warrants
The police department page carries a Crime Solvers anonymous tip form plus a records request route. Crime Solvers takes information about a crime. It will not report whether a person has an open warrant. Records requests go to the department's administrative assistant, and the page asks that the subject line read FOIA Request. The city's own packet holds the form, the cost worksheet, and the procedures. Remember that a police record is not a court record. Warrant status belongs to the court, so that is where the question goes.
Types of Iron Mountain Warrants
People in Iron Mountain run into a handful of warrant types. Each one starts with a different kind of trouble.
| Warrant Type | How It Arises | Who Issues It |
|---|---|---|
| Traffic warrant | An unpaid city citation or a missed traffic date | 95B District Court |
| Ordinance violation warrant | An unresolved city code violation | 95B District Court |
| Failure-to-appear bench warrant | A missed court date on a city case | The judge assigned to the case |
| Arrest warrant | A charge filed after a city police investigation | A judge or district court magistrate |
The label matters less than the court that signed the paper. Ask the district court which type sits on your case.
Iron Mountain Warrant Cases Route to 95B
Dickinson County has three cities that each run a police agency, and all three send their court cases to the same district court. That keeps the process uniform, and it means the case file is not held at the police station. City hall is a separate office from the police department, reachable at 501 S. Stephenson Street and 906-774-8530. City hall handles city business, not court status.
What an Iron Mountain Warrant Record Shows
A Dickinson County case file opened in Iron Mountain looks much like any district court file. Check the fields that name the court and the obligation before anything else.
| Case Number | Michigan format using year, number, and type, such as 2025-001234-MI |
|---|---|
| Issuing Court | 95B District Court for city ordinance, traffic, and infraction cases |
| City Agency | The Iron Mountain Police Department when city officers wrote the citation |
| Charge or Obligation | The ordinance, infraction, or missed court requirement at issue |
| Status | Active warrant, failure to appear, recalled, or closed |
KIND and CIRT in Iron Mountain Warrant Work
City officers and county deputies share teams. The sheriff's page describes KIND, which stands for Kingsford, Iron Mountain, Norway, and Dickinson County and formed in 1989, along with CIRT, a joint critical incident team.
Both programs are operational. Neither publishes a warrant list, and neither is a place to check a case. The value is context: these Iron Mountain area agencies share work yet keep separate records and separate phone lines.
Where Iron Mountain Warrants Fit With Dickinson County
A city case becomes a county case once it reaches court. The warrant flow runs from the Iron Mountain agency to the court that issues the paper, then on to the sheriff who can serve it.
Warrant flow: Iron Mountain Police Department › 95B District Court › Dickinson County Sheriff's Office
Iron Mountain sits below the county layer in how warrants are handled. The county sheriff, statewide systems, and everything above city hall are explained on the Dickinson County warrant records home page.
Reconfirming a Cleared Iron Mountain Warrant
Payment alone does not close an Iron Mountain warrant. After the court acts, check the same case number in two places.
- Recheck MiCOURT for the case number.
- Call the 95B District Court and ask whether the warrant is recalled.
- Ask what the docket shows as the next step in the case.
- Keep the receipt, the order, and the new date together.
If the case still shows an active warrant, ask the clerk what remains outstanding.
Public Access to Iron Mountain Warrant Records
Court records and police records travel through different doors. Public case records can be inspected under Michigan Court Rule 8.119. Law enforcement records are requested under Michigan's Freedom of Information Act.
Key Rules:
Michigan Freedom of Information Act, MCL 15.231 et seq. - police records are requested from the agency that holds them, subject to the statute's exemptions.
Michigan Court Rule 8.119 - public case records may be inspected, and a court may charge only the actual cost of reproduction.
Michigan Court Rules 3.903 and 3.925 - juvenile files and restricted juvenile information are not generally open to the public.
Sealed and juvenile matters stay out of public view. A clean search is not proof that no Iron Mountain warrant exists.
Iron Mountain City Hall vs the Police Department
Iron Mountain keeps these two offices on separate streets. City hall handles city business at 501 S. Stephenson Street. The police department, at 111 E. Fleshiem Street, takes reports, citations, and records requests. Neither office can confirm or clear a warrant, so send that question to the district court and route custody and booking questions to the sheriff.
