Help for Andover families in a city with no police department of its own — the Sheriff's Office provides law enforcement, and its headquarters in Andover is not the jail.
01

03
Sheriff, Jail & Court Guidance
Andover's law enforcement is the Anoka County Sheriff's Office (headquarters in Andover), while the county jail and District Court are in the City of Anoka. We explain which office handles the arrest, the custody and the bail decision.
04
Clear Premium & Paperwork Information
We explain the filed premium, each document you'd sign, what a cosigner takes on and when collateral might be requested — before you commit to anything.
05
Eligible Surety Bond Assistance
When the court's order permits a surety bond and underwriting is met, GPS can discuss Minnesota bond options with you. Nothing is pre-approved, and GPS cannot change a court decision.
06
Minnesota Statewide Coverage
GPS serves eligible cases throughout Minnesota, subject to the agency holding the person and bond availability — useful when an Andover case involves another county.
Anoka County Sheriff's deputies provide Andover's law enforcement, so a local arrest or citation is usually handled by the Sheriff's Office — or by the State Patrol or another agency with jurisdiction. Some people are cited or released without being booked.

Step 2 of 6
Confirm Custody Through the Official Locator
Check the Anoka County Inmate Locator or call the Jail Division at 763-324-5100. An Andover arrest doesn't guarantee a booking at Anoka County Jail, which is in the City of Anoka — not at Sheriff's headquarters in Andover.

Step 3 of 6
Verify Court-Set Bail and Release Conditions
Anoka County District Court in Anoka, or another authorized legal authority, decides bail and release conditions. Court information is separate from the jail's custody records.

Complete Premium, Paperwork and Underwriting
Any required premium, signed agreement, cosigner or collateral arrangement is completed as Minnesota law and the surety's underwriting require, with a receipt for every payment.

Step 6 of 6
Post an Authorized Bond and Follow Court Requirements
The responsible authority processes an accepted bond and the release — GPS doesn't control that timing, and other holds can delay it. The defendant must attend every hearing and follow all court orders.
Not every charge is eligible for bail, and no amounts are guaranteed — the court decides in each case.
05 · Costs
What Bail Bonds Cost in Andover
Andover does not have a separate city bail bond premium schedule. Anoka County District Court determines monetary bail and release conditions, while Minnesota's filed-rate and statutory rules govern commercial surety premiums statewide.
Court-Set Bail vs. Bond Premium
The court sets the bail amount. Paying it directly in cash is one option. A surety bond instead costs a premium — a fee paid to the bail bond agency that is not returned at the end of the case. Minnesota Criminal Procedure Rule 6 ↗ (opens an external site)
Filed Surety Rates & Minimum Upfront Payment
Under Minn. Stat. §60M.02, premiums follow rates filed with the Minnesota Department of Commerce. Bonds of $10,000 or less require at least 50% of the premium collected before posting; bonds greater than $10,000 require at least 30% collected before posting. Any unpaid premium balance requires the applicable approved, signed promissory note and the statutory repayment terms. The statutory minimum premium remains $100. Minnesota §60M.02 — Bail Bond Premiums ↗ (opens an external site)
Promissory Note & Repayment
Any unpaid premium balance is put in writing, with a payment schedule and any allowed interest. The signer is responsible for that balance regardless of how the case ends. The same §60M.02 rules above govern premium payment.
Use the court-set bond amount from the jail or court.
Estimates are for informational purposes only and are not a binding quote or financing offer. Actual premiums are based on the applicable approved surety rate. Payment arrangements depend on eligibility, underwriting, and Minnesota law. Call GPS Bail Bonds for a case-specific quote.

06 · Jails & custody
Andover Jails & Custody Information
Andover has no city police department — the Anoka County Sheriff's Office provides its law enforcement. Three different addresses matter: Andover City Hall (1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW), Sheriff's headquarters in Andover (13301 Hanson Boulevard NW) and the county jail in the City of Anoka (325 Jackson Street). Confirm current custody and release terms through official sources.

Sheriff's headquarters (not the jail)13301 Hanson Boulevard NWAndover, MN 55304
Andover City Hall1685 Crosstown Boulevard NWAndover, MN 55304763-755-5100
The City of Andover has contracted with the Sheriff's Office for law enforcement since 1974, and the county approved the 2026 contract. Sheriff's headquarters happens to be in Andover, but the county jail is in the City of Anoka at 325 Jackson Street. The administrative line is not a custody hotline or emergency dispatch — in an emergency, call 911.
Anoka County Workhouse (separate facility): 763-324-4860
In the City of Anoka — not at Sheriff's headquarters in Andover and not at Andover City Hall. Operated by the Anoka County Sheriff's Office as the county's primary booking and intake facility; it mainly houses people who have not been sentenced. The Anoka County Workhouse (Rum River Human Services Center, 3300 4th Avenue N., Anoka) is a separate minimum-security facility mainly for sentenced adults — it is not where an initial booking happens.
Handles criminal and traffic matters filed in Anoka County, including applicable Andover cases. Judges decide bail and release conditions; GPS does not set bail amounts or hearing schedules. The Court Bail & Bonds line is for court bail questions — it is not an automatic phone-payment service, so confirm the authorized payment location and accepted methods first.
Start with the official Anoka County Inmate Locator. A Sheriff's arrest in Andover may end in a citation or release rather than a booking, and a person may already be out, not yet listed, or held on another agency's matter. If they aren't listed, call the Jail Division — Sheriff's headquarters and Andover City Hall are not booking desks.
02
County Jail Booking
An arrest and a jail booking are different events. Booking at Anoka County Jail involves identification, custody screening and records processing, so a recent arrest may not appear in the official locator right away. Someone cited or released without booking may never be listed, and no booking or first-appearance timeline is guaranteed.
03
Official Inmate Search
Anoka County's official Inmate Locator covers people currently held in the Jail or the Workhouse, plus people released from either facility in the past 30 days; some records note a transfer to another facility. A recent-release record does not mean the person is still in custody. GPS does not operate the locator or control custody data.
Court orders control release terms. Anoka County District Court may release someone without money bail, on conditions, with money bail, or a combination — so a commercial bond is not always needed. Conditions such as no-contact or no-alcohol terms still apply after any bond is posted. Someone serving a sentence at the Workhouse is not in an ordinary pretrial-bail situation.
05
Cash Bail vs. Surety Bond
Cash bail paid directly to the government, as the court authorizes, is different from a surety premium paid to a bail bond agency, which is not returned. GPS has not confirmed Anoka County's complete cash-bail payment procedure, so call the Jail Division (763-324-5100) or Court Bail & Bonds (763-760-6540) to confirm the authorized payment location and accepted methods before traveling. That procedure does not define how GPS accepts payment.
A warrant, another case, a probation-related restriction, a transfer or another agency's hold can keep someone in custody after bail is posted on the Andover matter. GPS cannot remove those restrictions or promise an immediate release. See our Warrant and Probation Violation guides.
Court dates
Court Appearance Information
Anoka County District Court, at 2100 3rd Avenue in Anoka and part of the Tenth Judicial District, decides bail and release conditions for cases filed in Anoka County. Court records and the county's custody locator are separate systems: Minnesota Court Records Online shows certain case information and hearings, but it is not a jail roster or a complete warrant check, and some pending criminal name searches are restricted. Public calendars can change, so confirm each required appearance from official notices or with Court Administration at 763-760-6700. Missing a required hearing can lead to a warrant and other serious consequences.

Andover is an incorporated city in Anoka County, north of Coon Rapids and the City of Anoka and east of Ramsey.
Andover does not operate its own police department. The Anoka County Sheriff's Office has provided the city's law enforcement under contract since 1974, and the county approved the contract for 2026.
The Sheriff's Office administrative headquarters is in Andover at 13301 Hanson Boulevard NW — a separate building from the county jail, which is in the City of Anoka.
Andover City Hall is at 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW (763-755-5100). It is city administration, not a police station, jail or court.
Crosstown Boulevard, Bunker Lake Boulevard (County Highway 116) and Hanson Boulevard (County Highway 78) are main routes through the city; Anoka County works with the City of Andover on Bunker Lake Boulevard improvements.
County jail custody (325 Jackson Street) and District Court proceedings (2100 3rd Avenue) happen at separate facilities in the City of Anoka. GPS serves Andover families by phone and online and has no office in the city.

Andover Bail Bonds FAQs
Yes. Call (763) 288-2581 or use the form at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays. GPS helps by phone and online from its Big Lake-area business location and has no Andover office.
No. The City of Andover does not operate a police department. Its law enforcement comes from the Anoka County Sheriff's Office under a contract that has been renewed since 1974, including for 2026.
The Anoka County Sheriff's Office. The City of Andover's own Police page names the Sheriff's Office as responsible for law enforcement — patrol, investigations, school liaison and traffic. The State Patrol or another agency may still be involved in a particular case.
Yes. The Sheriff's administrative headquarters is at 13301 Hanson Boulevard NW, Andover, MN 55304, and its administrative line is 763-324-5000. That line is not emergency dispatch — call 911 in an emergency or 763-427-1212 for non-emergency dispatch.
No. Headquarters is in Andover, but Anoka County Jail is a separate building at 325 Jackson Street in the City of Anoka (Jail Division 763-324-5100). Andover City Hall at 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW is a third, unrelated address.
If someone is booked, it is generally at Anoka County Jail in the City of Anoka. That isn't guaranteed — some people are cited and released, and another agency's warrant can mean another facility. Confirm with the official locator or the Jail Division.
Open the county's official Inmate Locator and search by name. It covers the Jail and the separate Workhouse, plus releases from either facility in the past 30 days, so a listing doesn't always mean the person is still held.
Anoka County District Court, in the Anoka County Courthouse at 2100 3rd Avenue in the City of Anoka (Tenth Judicial District). Court Administration is 763-760-6700. Andover has no courthouse of its own.
Ask the Jail Division (763-324-5100) what is on record for someone in custody. For court-case bail questions, call Court Administration (763-760-6700) or Court Bail & Bonds (763-760-6540) — that line is not an automatic phone-payment service. Sheriff's administration in Andover is not the place to confirm bail.
Yes, if the court's order allows a surety bond and the surety's underwriting is satisfied. Before anything is signed for an Andover case, GPS walks you through the premium, the indemnity agreement and any cosigner or collateral terms. Approval isn't guaranteed, and GPS can't alter what the court decided.
The premium follows the rate the surety has filed with Minnesota regulators under §60M.02, with a $100 minimum. There is no Andover price list; at least 50% (bonds of $10,000 or less) or 30% (larger bonds) is collected before posting.
Expect to provide a valid photo ID, a current address and phone number, and your signature on the indemnity agreement — plus the promissory note if part of the premium is financed. Collateral is sometimes requested and is handled under Minnesota §60M.03. A cosigner takes on real responsibility, including the full bond amount if the defendant fails to appear.
Yes. A warrant, probation-related restriction, transfer or another agency's hold can keep someone in custody even after bail is posted on the Andover case. GPS cannot remove a hold — ask the Jail Division which holds apply.
Anything you know: full legal name, date of birth or approximate age, where in Andover it happened, whether Sheriff's deputies made the arrest, and any booking, charge, court or bail details. Gaps are fine — you don't need a booking number to ask for help.
