01
East Bethel Area Service
GPS Bail Bonds assists East Bethel families by phone and online. Our business location is in the Big Lake area of Sherburne County — GPS has no East Bethel office — and we help you work with the county agencies involved.
02
Available 24/7
Call (763) 288-2581 or send the form any time. GPS answers around the clock; East Bethel City Hall keeps weekday hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and county offices keep their own business hours.
03
Sheriff, Jail & Court Guidance
Sheriff's deputies patrol East Bethel under the city's contract, but bookings happen at Anoka County Jail and cases are heard at Anoka County District Court — both in the City of Anoka. We explain which office handles which step.
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 a Highway 65 stop turns up another county's warrant.
Anoka County Sheriff's deputies provide East Bethel's contracted police services, so a local arrest or citation is usually a Sheriff's matter — though the State Patrol or another agency with jurisdiction may be involved. Some people are cited or released without being booked.

Confirm Custody Through the Official Locator
Check the Anoka County Inmate Locator or call the Jail Division at 763-324-5100. An East Bethel arrest doesn't guarantee a booking at Anoka County Jail, which is in the City of Anoka — not at East Bethel City Hall.

Verify Court-Set Bail and Release Conditions

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.

05 · Costs
What Bail Bonds Cost in East Bethel
East Bethel 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
East Bethel Jails & Custody Information
East Bethel has no city police department — the Anoka County Sheriff's Office provides contracted police services 24/7. Keep three places separate: East Bethel City Hall (2241 221st Avenue NE), 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.

East Bethel City Hall2241 221st Avenue NEEast Bethel, MN 55011763-367-7840
East Bethel contracts with the Sheriff's Office for local police protection around the clock, with deputies assigned to regular patrol shifts in the city. Deputies use office space at the city's Public Works building, but that space isn't staffed for the public. The administrative line is not a custody hotline — in an emergency, call 911.
Anoka County Workhouse (separate facility): 763-324-4860
In the City of Anoka — not at East Bethel City Hall and not at Sheriff's headquarters in Andover. 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 East Bethel 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 East Bethel 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 — East Bethel City Hall and the deputies' Public Works office 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 East Bethel 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.

East Bethel Bail Bonds FAQs
Yes. Call (763) 288-2581 or use the form at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays. GPS helps East Bethel families by phone and online from its Big Lake-area business location; it has no East Bethel office.
No. East Bethel does not operate a municipal police department. The city's Police page explains that local police protection is provided under contract by the Anoka County Sheriff's Office, 24 hours a day.
The Anoka County Sheriff's Office. Anoka County lists East Bethel among the communities where the Sheriff is the primary law-enforcement agency, responding to 911 calls, crimes, crashes and traffic complaints. The State Patrol or another agency may still handle a particular case.
Sheriff's headquarters is at 13301 Hanson Boulevard NW in Andover — not in East Bethel. Its administrative line is 763-324-5000; for non-emergency police response call 763-427-1212, and call 911 in an emergency.
No. Headquarters is in Andover, while Anoka County Jail is a separate building at 325 Jackson Street in the City of Anoka (Jail Division 763-324-5100). Neither is in East Bethel, and East Bethel City Hall is a third, unrelated address.
If someone is booked, it is generally at Anoka County Jail in the City of Anoka, the county's primary intake facility. That isn't guaranteed — some people are cited and released, and a warrant from elsewhere can mean another facility. Confirm with the locator or the Jail Division.
Search the county's Inmate Locator by name. It lists people held in the Jail or the separate Workhouse, plus people released from either in the past 30 days — so an East Bethel arrestee who appears there may already be out. Call the Jail Division if you can't find them.
Cases filed in Anoka County are heard at Anoka County District Court, Anoka County Courthouse, 2100 3rd Avenue in the City of Anoka (Tenth Judicial District, Court Administration 763-760-6700). East Bethel has no criminal courthouse of its own.
For someone in custody, ask the Jail Division (763-324-5100) what is on record. For the court case, call Court Administration (763-760-6700) or Court Bail & Bonds (763-760-6540) — that line answers bail questions but isn't an automatic phone-payment service. East Bethel City Hall can't confirm bail.
No. A person may be cited and released, released without money bail, or released on conditions only. A commercial bond matters only when the court sets money bail and allows a surety bond. Release conditions such as no-contact or no-alcohol terms apply either way.
The premium follows the rate the surety has filed with Minnesota regulators under §60M.02, with a $100 minimum — there is no East Bethel price list. At least 50% is due before posting on bonds of $10,000 or less (balance within four months), and at least 30% on larger bonds (up to twelve months).
Yes. A relative or friend can pay the premium and sign as a cosigner (indemnitor), which usually means a photo ID, a current address and phone number, and a signed indemnity agreement. Any collateral is handled under Minnesota §60M.03. A cosigner can be responsible for the full bond if the defendant misses court.
Yes. A warrant from another county, a probation-related restriction, a transfer or another agency's hold can keep someone in custody even after bail is posted on the East Bethel 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 East Bethel 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.
