02
Available 24/7
Call (763) 288-2581 or send the form any time. GPS answers around the clock; Centerville City Hall, the Centennial Lakes Police office and county offices keep business hours.
03
Police, Jail & Court Guidance
Centennial Lakes Police serves Centerville from its headquarters at 54 North Road in Circle Pines; Anoka County Jail and Anoka County District Court are in the City of Anoka. We explain which agency handles each step.
04
Clear Premium & Paperwork Information
We explain the difference between the court's bail amount and the filed premium, each document you'd sign, payment arrangements, what a cosigner takes on and when collateral might be requested.
05
Eligible Surety Bond Assistance
When the court authorizes a surety bond and underwriting is met, GPS can discuss Minnesota bond options with you. Approval is not automatic, and GPS cannot change a court decision or promise a release.
06
Minnesota Statewide Coverage
GPS serves eligible cases throughout Minnesota — helpful when a Centerville arrest also involves another county's warrant or case. The court handling each matter and the authorized bond terms still need confirming.
Centennial Lakes Police, which patrols Centerville under a joint agreement with Circle Pines and Lexington, or another agency with jurisdiction may make an arrest or issue a citation. Not every police contact leads to custody — some people are cited and released.

Step 2 of 6
Confirm Actual Custody
Check the official Anoka County Inmate Locator or call the Jail Division at 763-324-5100. A new booking may take time to appear, and the person may already be released, transferred or held on another agency's matter.

Verify Court-Set Bail and Release Conditions
Anoka County District Court or another authorized judicial officer decides bail and release conditions. A commercial bond may not be required — or permitted — in every case, so confirm the order first.

Authorized Posting and Court Obligations
After an authorized bond is accepted, the government processes custody and release; other holds can delay it. The defendant must attend every future appearance and follow all court conditions.

05 · Costs
What Bail Bonds Cost in Centerville
Centerville 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
Centerville Jails & Custody Information
Centerville does not operate its own police department or jail. Centennial Lakes Police, headquartered at 54 North Road in Circle Pines, provides law enforcement, while Anoka County Jail and Anoka County District Court are in the City of Anoka. Centerville City Hall on Main Street handles city business only. Confirm current custody and release terms through official sources.

Headquarters (not a jail)54 North RoadCircle Pines, MN 55014
Police administration (office — not emergency dispatch): 763-784-2501
Centerville City Hall1880 Main StreetCenterville, MN 55038651-429-3232
Centennial Lakes Police provides law enforcement for Centerville, Circle Pines and Lexington under a joint powers agreement, overseen by a board of officials from the three cities. Its headquarters is in Circle Pines — not at Centerville City Hall — and it is not a jail. The office line is for administration; to have an officer respond, the department asks callers to use 911 or the dispatch number.
Anoka County Workhouse (separate facility): 763-324-4860
The county's primary booking facility for Centerville arrests is in the City of Anoka, not in Centerville or at the Circle Pines police headquarters. 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 Centerville 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 Centennial Lakes Police contact in Centerville may end in a citation or release rather than a booking, and the person may already be out, not yet listed, or held on another agency's matter. If they aren't listed, call the Jail Division — neither the police headquarters on North Road nor Centerville City Hall on Main Street is a booking desk.
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 or another agency's hold can keep someone in custody after bail is posted on the Centerville matter. GPS cannot remove those restrictions or promise a release time. 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.

Centerville is a small Anoka County city northeast of Minneapolis and north of St. Paul, covering about 1,597 acres with roughly 3,900 residents, according to the City.
The city sits between the shores of Peltier Lake and Centerville Lake; the Bald Eagle Waterski Show performs on Centerville Lake at Trailside Park on summer Thursday evenings.
Main Street (County Road 14) is the city's historic and civic center — City Hall is at 1880 Main Street, and in territorial days Centerville was the main rest stop between Stillwater and Anoka.
Anoka County's Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park borders the city, with its entrance on Main Street and a city fishing pier on Peltier Lake nearby.
Centerville keeps its own municipal government and celebrates its French-Canadian heritage at the annual Fête des Lacs, while relying on Centennial Lakes Police — shared with Circle Pines and Lexington — for law enforcement.
The county jail (325 Jackson Street) and Anoka County District Court (2100 3rd Avenue) are in the City of Anoka, separate from Centerville's municipal offices. GPS serves Centerville families by phone and online and has no office in the city.
10 · FAQ
Centerville Bail Bonds FAQs
Yes. Call (763) 288-2581 or use the form at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays. GPS helps Centerville families by phone and online from its Big Lake-area business location and has no Centerville office.
No. Centerville does not operate a separate municipal police department. Law enforcement comes from Centennial Lakes Police, a joint department the city shares with Circle Pines and Lexington.
Centennial Lakes Police patrols Centerville, dispatched through the Anoka County Dispatch Center. For an emergency — or to have an officer come out — call 911; 763-427-1212 also reaches dispatch. The State Patrol or another agency with jurisdiction may handle some incidents.
At 54 North Road, Circle Pines, MN 55014 — in Circle Pines, not in Centerville. The administrative office number is 763-784-2501; it is an office line, not emergency dispatch or a custody hotline.
No. Centerville City Hall, 1880 Main Street (651-429-3232), handles city business. It is not a police station, booking desk or jail — police headquarters is in Circle Pines and the county jail is in Anoka.
A Centerville arrest that leads to booking on an Anoka County matter generally goes to Anoka County Jail, 325 Jackson Street in the City of Anoka. Booking isn't certain: some people are cited and released, and another agency's warrant could mean a different facility. Confirm with official sources.
Search the county's official Inmate Locator by name, or call the Jail Division at 763-324-5100 if the person doesn't appear. A very recent booking may not show yet, and a missing name doesn't prove there was no arrest.
Yes. It lists people in the Jail and in the separate Anoka County Workhouse (763-324-4860), plus people released from either within the past 30 days. The Workhouse mainly serves sentenced adults, so a Workhouse listing is usually not a pretrial-bail situation.
Anoka County District Court, 2100 3rd Avenue in Anoka, part of Minnesota's Tenth Judicial District (Court Administration 763-760-6700). The court named on the official complaint or hearing notice controls.
Ask the Jail Division (763-324-5100) what is on record for someone in custody, or call Court Administration (763-760-6700) or Court Bail & Bonds (763-760-6540) about the court case. The Bail & Bonds line answers inquiries; it is not an automatic phone-payment service.
Cash bail is the full amount paid to the government as the court authorizes, and it may be returned after the case under the court's rules. A surety bond is a bail bond agency's guarantee to the court; the premium for it is not returned. Confirm the authorized payment location before paying cash bail.
The premium follows the rate the surety has filed with Minnesota regulators under §60M.02 — there is no Centerville price list and no universal percentage. On approved payment plans, Minnesota requires at least 50% upfront on bonds of $10,000 or less and at least 30% on larger bonds.
Yes. A warrant from another county, a probation-related restriction or another agency's hold can keep someone in custody after bail is posted on the Centerville case. GPS cannot remove a hold or promise a release time.
Anything you know: the person's full legal name, date of birth or approximate age, where in Centerville it happened, whether Centennial Lakes Police 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.
