Becker Bail Bonds Guide
01 · Why GPS
Practical help for a Highway 10 community whose jail and court are a county away from City Hall.
GPS assists families in Becker and the surrounding Sherburne County communities with questions about eligible Minnesota bail bonds and the details needed to discuss one.
Call (763) 288-2581 or send the form around the clock. Court and jail procedures continue on their own operating schedules.
Becker is in Sherburne County. The county jail and District Court are in Elk River — not at Becker City Hall or the Becker Police Department — and GPS can help you know what information each may need.
We explain the difference between court-set bail and a surety premium, plus the paperwork, payment terms and any cosigner requirements, before anything is signed.
GPS can discuss a surety bond when the court order allows one and underwriting approves it. Not every case qualifies.
GPS assists Minnesota families across multiple counties and helps identify which authority is actually handling an arrest.
02 · Bail process
The usual path after a Becker arrest. Every case is different; the court makes the decisions and no release time is guaranteed.
03 · Reviews
Reviews from GPS Bail Bonds' Google listing.
04 · Services
Each statewide GPS guide explains how bail works for that charge in Minnesota. The same guidance applies to a Becker arrest.
Not every charge is eligible for bail, and no amounts are guaranteed — the court decides in each case.
05 · Costs
Becker has no city bail bond premium schedule. The court sets bail; Minnesota surety rules govern the premium.
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.
Collateral & Cosigner Responsibilities
Some bonds require collateral or a cosigner. Minn. Stat. §60M.03 governs how collateral is held and returned. A cosigner may owe the full bond if the defendant misses court.

06 · Jails & custody
Becker has its own police department, but the county jail and District Court that handle most Becker cases are in Elk River. There is no Becker city jail or municipal criminal court.
Local police
Administrative: 763-200-4267
Serves the city of Becker and handles municipal law-enforcement matters. It is not the Sherburne County Jail; its listed office hours are administrative hours, not jail or bail-posting hours.
County jail
Operated by the Sherburne County Sheriff's Office in Elk River, and often the relevant facility after a Becker arrest — though not every Becker arrest leads to custody there.
View Sherburne County Jail GuideCourt · Tenth Judicial District
Mon–Fri, 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m. (subject to court holidays and schedule changes)
Handles criminal and traffic cases filed in Sherburne County. Judges determine bail or release conditions; GPS does not set bail amounts or hearing schedules.
View Sherburne County Court GuideStart with the official county inmate search, then confirm with the jail when necessary. An online search is not always complete or current, and a person may be cited, still in booking or held elsewhere.
People who are booked go through identification, photographs and records checks. Not every arrest leads to booking, and bail generally can't be posted until booking is done.
The Sheriff's custody database shows who is currently held. It doesn't say whether release is possible or list every hold.
A judge may set money bail, release on conditions or hold someone for a hearing. Conditions can include no-contact orders, testing or travel limits.
Paying cash bail to the jail and buying a surety bond are different transactions. Cash bail is the full amount, paid per the Sheriff's rules; a surety bond costs a premium paid to a licensed agency.
Posting a bond on one case may not end a separate warrant, probation hold or another agency's detainer. See our Warrant and Probation Violation guides for more.
Court dates
Some case details and hearing dates can be checked through Minnesota Court Records Online, but not every hearing appears publicly, and MCRO is not a jail roster or a complete warrant check. Pending criminal cases without a conviction generally won't appear in a defendant-name search; a case-number search may find records a name search doesn't. Court records are separate from jail custody information. Release paperwork lists the next court date — every appearance is required. Public court calendars can change and are not a substitute for confirming the person's required appearance directly.
