Government-operated resource

Official Anoka County Inmate Search

The Anoka County Sheriff's Office provides an official Inmate Locator for public custody information associated with Anoka County Jail and Anoka County Workhouse. The locator includes people currently in custody and people released during the previous 30 days.

Search Official Anoka County Inmates (opens the official county site in a new tab)

Opens the county's Inmate Locator in a new tab. It is run by Anoka County, not GPS, covers both the Jail and the Workhouse, and can list people released in the past 30 days — a listing is not proof someone is still held. The county notes transfers in the record. It is not a court case database, and the information can change.

Official custody information is maintained by the responsible government agencies. Scam warning: the Anoka County Sheriff's Office warns that scammers contact families of people in custody or recently released and demand money. The Sheriff's Office does not call to demand such payments. Verify suspicious payment requests directly with the appropriate government agency.

01 · Why GPS

Why Choose GPS for Anoka County Inmate Search

The Anoka County Sheriff's Office keeps the official Inmate Locator. GPS can help you understand what a record means, which office to call and whether a court-authorized surety bond may be available. We don't operate the locator or decide release.

  • Help Understanding Search Results

    Anoka's locator mixes current Jail custody, Workhouse placements and people released in the past 30 days, and it notes transfers. GPS can help you tell which one you're looking at and which government resource to check next.

  • Available 24/7

    Arrests in Anoka, Coon Rapids, Blaine and across the county happen at any hour. Our team answers day or night — court offices keep their own business hours.

  • Sheriff, Jail & Court Guidance

    We can point you to the right office: the Jail Division for custody, the Workhouse for sentenced placements, and District Court for case records, hearings and bail decisions.

  • Clear Bail Premium Information

    If a surety bond is available, we explain the premium Minnesota law allows, any payment arrangement and the paperwork before you sign anything.

  • Eligible Surety Bond Assistance

    When the court has set bail and a surety bond is authorized and approved, GPS can help arrange it. An arrest is not a finding of guilt, and eligibility and release are never guaranteed.

  • Minnesota Statewide Coverage

    The county says people may be transferred to another jail to relieve crowding, so someone may not stay in Anoka. GPS helps with eligible cases across Minnesota, though we can't post every bond requested.

02 · Step by step

How to Search for an Inmate in Anoka County

Anoka County's Inmate Locator is the official public source for the Jail and the Workhouse. These steps help you use it — and know what it can't tell you.

  • Open the Official Anoka County Locator

    The Sheriff's Office publishes the Inmate Locator on the county website. It is the county's own resource, not a GPS database.

  • Search Using Available Information

    Start with accurate details and follow the instructions on the county's page. Helpful details may include:

    • The person's correct legal name and spelling variations.
    • An approximate age or date of birth, where useful.
    • The facility you think is holding them.
    • Any booking information you were given.

  • Review Current Custody vs. Released Records

    The locator lists:

    • People currently held at the Jail.
    • People currently held at the Workhouse.
    • People released from either facility in the previous 30 days.
    • A recent-release record is not evidence that someone is still held — call the facility if the status is unclear.

  • Understand Booking Delays & Transfers

    A record can lag behind or change:

    • A new booking may not appear right away.
    • The person may already have been released.
    • The county notes people may be transferred to another jail to relieve overcrowding.
    • Some records may be restricted.

  • Distinguish Jail, Workhouse & Other Systems

    Different systems answer different questions:

    • Jail custody differs from a sentence served at the Workhouse.
    • County records aren't state prison records.
    • A court case can stay open after release from jail.
    • Some holds and transfers involve other agencies.

  • Confirm Bail and Release Information

    The locator doesn't replace a call to confirm the current facility, court-set bail, release conditions, holds and authorized payment or surety steps. District Court: 763-760-6700. Court Bail & Bonds: 763-760-6540.

    Jail Division: 763-324-5100

    Ask GPS for help

What If Someone Does Not Appear in the Anoka County Inmate Locator?

Not finding a person in the locator does not establish that no arrest occurred. Common reasons include:

  • The booking hasn't appeared yet.
  • The person was cited and released.
  • The person was released more than 30 days ago.
  • Another jail or agency has custody.
  • A transfer changed the custody facility.
  • Access limits or incomplete details apply.

Re-check the official Inmate Locator, then call the Anoka County Jail Division at 763-324-5100 to confirm — or contact GPS and we'll help you work out where to check next.

03 · Jail & custody

Anoka County Jail & Custody Information

The Jail and the Workhouse are separate facilities in Anoka, the Sheriff's headquarters is in Andover, and District Court is on 3rd Avenue in Anoka. Each handles different questions.

County jail — Anoka County Sheriff's Office

Anoka County Jail

325 Jackson StreetAnoka, MN 55303

Jail Division: 763-324-5100

The Sheriff's Office operates the county jail, which the county describes as primarily housing non-sentenced people. The county separately operates the Workhouse, which has its own visiting, mail and account procedures.

Checking Custody
Start with the official Inmate Locator, which covers the Jail and the Workhouse, then call the Jail Division to confirm the current facility and status.
Asking About Bail
Confirm current custody, court-set bail, release eligibility, where payment is handled, which payment methods are authorized and whether any other holds apply. Processing times vary and aren't guaranteed.

Good to know

  • The Jail and the Workhouse are separate facilities.
  • A recent-release listing does not mean someone is still held.
  • Transfers can change where a person is held.
  • A booking does not establish guilt.
  • Court and jail records serve different purposes.
  • Other warrants or holds can affect release.
  • GPS Bail Bonds cannot control release processing.
  • Verify any suspicious bail-related payment call directly with the agency.

05 · Bail & release

Bail Options After Locating an Inmate in Anoka County

In Minnesota, the court sets bail and release conditions, and Minnesota Statutes Chapter 60M governs commercial bond premiums. Anoka County doesn't publish a cash-bail payment procedure on these pages, so confirm the details for each case before you travel.

Court-Set Bail & Release Conditions

The court or other appropriate legal authority controls bail and release conditions. Not everyone in custody needs a commercial surety bond — some people are released without financial bail, and other conditions may apply. GPS cannot change judicial decisions.

Cash Bail vs. Surety Bond Premium

These are different things:Cash bail — the court-authorized amount, paid through an accepted government procedure.Surety bond — an authorized bond backed by a licensed surety.Premium — the charge for the surety bond service.Collateral — additional security, when required.Commissary deposits, court fines and phone funds are not bail.

Confirm Anoka County Bail Procedures

Before attempting payment, confirm:The correct current facility.The current court-set bail amount.The authorized payment location and accepted methods.Required identification or paperwork.Any holds or release restrictions.Jail Division 763-324-5100 · District Court 763-760-6700 · Court Bail & Bonds 763-760-6540.Official court contacts (opens an official external site)

Release Processing & Other Holds

Release requires the appropriate authorization and staff must complete processing. Other warrants, court orders or agency holds can delay or prevent release, a Workhouse sentence is different from ordinary pretrial release, and GPS cannot guarantee a release date or processing time.

Minnesota Bond Premium Rules

  • The court sets the bail amount — not the jail and not GPS.
  • The premium follows the rate the surety has filed and had approved in Minnesota.
  • The statutory minimum premium is $100.
  • Bonds of $10,000 or less: at least 50% of the premium is collected before posting; any balance is repaid within four months.
  • Bonds over $10,000: at least 30% of the premium is collected before posting; any balance is repaid within at most 12 months.
  • Any balance needs a signed promissory note. No financing or payment plan is guaranteed.
