The Anoka County Sheriff's Office operates the county jail and identifies it as the primary intake and booking facility for all county law-enforcement agencies. The jail mainly houses people who have not been sentenced.
- About the Jail
- Booking, custody screening, criminal charges and release decisions involve different authorities and procedures. Not every arrest leads to continued detention — some people are cited and released, and the court decides bail and release conditions.
- Checking Inmate Custody
- The county's official Inmate Locator lists people currently in custody at the Jail and the Workhouse, plus people released from either facility in the past 30 days. The county notes that people may be transferred to another jail to relieve crowding. GPS does not operate the locator.
- Bail and Release Information
- Before traveling, confirm the person's current facility, whether bail has been set, any court-ordered release conditions, the applicable bond or payment requirements, and whether other holds affect release. Call the Jail Division at 763-324-5100 — not GPS's number — for custody questions.
- Sheriff's Office Headquarters
- The Sheriff's administrative offices are at 13301 Hanson Boulevard NW, Andover, MN 55304, open Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m. That is not the jail's address — use 325 Jackson Street in Anoka for the jail.
