Additional Jail Information

The Genesee County website does not include a specific page dedicated to sharing information about the County’s most wanted suspects or those with warrants out for their arrest. The Sheriff’s Office does, however, occasionally share images and descriptions of their most wanted on their social media accounts, including their Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) pages.

Genesee County Sheriff Information

The Genesee County Sheriff’s Office operates the County Jail and the Flint City Lockup. It is Michigan’s fifth largest sheriff’s office. The staff includes Undersheriff Michael Tocarchick, Capitain of Corrections Jilian Macey, Executive Captain David Kennamer, Law Enforement Captain Jason Murphy, Paramedic Captain Richard Conkright, and Major of Operations Jason Gould. The current Sheriff is Christopher R. Swanson, who made national news when he marched with protesters in Flint following George Floyd’s death. In 2020, Sheriff Swanson started the inmate educational program IGNITE (Inmate Growth Naturally and Intentionally Through Education) to reduce conflicts at Genesee County Jail and improve inmates’ re-entry opportunities. IGNITE has since become a national inmate education program endorsed by the National Sheriff’s Association.
