Sheriff’s Office Administration Office Lobby and Records Unit will reopen to the public on June 8th. In order to maintain social distancing and limit the amount of people waiting in our front lobby, we have made some changes for services:

- Private Party Purchase Permit(s) can be obtained by completing the WEAPONS PURCHASE PERMIT application. *A permit is required if the applicant does not have a Concealed License Permit and is purchasing a gun from an individual. A permit is not required if the applicant is purchasing a gun from a licensed dealer. **Note: Purchase Permits will no longer be available immediately, there will be at least a 24hr. wait time.
- Purchase permits or gun sales records can be placed in a drop box in the Front Lobby during regular business hours: M-F 8am-4:30pm or mailed to the Sheriff’s Office at 405 N. Winter St. Adrian, MI 49221.
- Copies of Complaint or Crash Reports can be requested either by mail or through the county website.
