01 · Why GPS

Why Choose GPS in Eden Valley

Help for a city on the Stearns–Meeker county line, with its own police department and two possible county jail and court pathways.

  • Eden Valley Bail Assistance

    Eden Valley sits in two counties, so the first job is often working out whether Stearns County (St. Cloud) or Meeker County (Litchfield) holds the person and has the case. GPS helps families check both.

  • Available 24/7

    Call (763) 288-2581 or send the form any time. GPS answers day and night — that is separate from Eden Valley City Hall's office hours and the county and court office schedules.

  • Police, Jail & Court Guidance

    Eden Valley Police serve the city, while two county jails and two district courts — Stearns in the Seventh Judicial District and Meeker in the Eighth — handle custody and cases. We explain which applies.

  • Clear Premium & Paperwork Guidance

    Before you sign, we go over the court-set bail amount, filed surety rates, the minimum collected before posting, your receipts and every agreement and obligation.

  • Eligible Surety Bond Assistance

    When the court authorizes a bond and underwriting is satisfied, GPS can discuss surety options. A cosigner or collateral may be required, and no bond or payment plan is pre-approved.

  • Minnesota Statewide Coverage

    Stearns, Meeker or anywhere else in Minnesota — GPS can help with the jail and court involved. GPS has no branch office in Eden Valley.

02 · Bail process

How Bail Bonds Work in Eden Valley

The usual sequence after an Eden Valley arrest. Every case is different; the court makes the decisions, and release timing is never guaranteed.

Get Bail Now
  1. 01

    Step 1 of 6

    Arrest or Citation in Eden Valley

    Eden Valley Police Department or another authorized agency, such as a county sheriff or the State Patrol, may make an arrest. A citation does not automatically mean someone is booked into jail.

  2. 02

    Step 2 of 6

    Confirm Custody and Booking

    Check whether the person is held in Stearns County Jail, Meeker County Jail or another facility — or was released. The city name alone doesn't tell you which county booked them.

  3. 03

    Step 3 of 6

    Verify Court-Set Bail and Conditions

    The district court handling the case decides release. Verify the actual filing court — Stearns or Meeker County — from the case record rather than assuming, then confirm the bail and conditions it set.

  4. 04

    Step 4 of 6

    Contact GPS About Bond Options

    Call (763) 288-2581. The person's name, custody status and any bail or charge details help GPS explain whether an authorized surety bond may be available. Approval is not promised.

  5. 05

    Step 5 of 6

    Complete Premium, Paperwork & Underwriting

    Identification, signed agreements, the approved filed premium with a receipt and, where required, a cosigner, collateral and underwriting review.

  6. 06

    Step 6 of 6

    Post the Bond and Follow Court Orders

    Bond acceptance and release processing vary by facility, and another hold can delay release. After release, every court appearance and condition must be followed.

Bail Bond Services in Eden Valley

Statewide GPS guides Eden Valley families can use when comparing bail options, whether the case is in Stearns or Meeker County. The card order is not a ranking of local offenses.

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 Eden Valley

Eden Valley has no separate city bail premium schedule. The district court handling the case — Stearns or Meeker County — determines monetary bail and release conditions, while Minnesota's filed-rate and statutory rules govern commercial surety premiums statewide, regardless of which county has the case.

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.
Minnesota §60M.03 — Collateral Requirements (opens an external site)

06 · Jails & custody

Eden Valley Jails & Custody Information

Eden Valley spans Stearns and Meeker counties. Its Police Department serves the city, but the county jail or district court associated with a particular arrest or criminal case must be confirmed from official booking and court records. Stearns County resources are in St. Cloud; Meeker County resources are in Litchfield.

Emergency: call 911. One municipal department serves the whole city, on both sides of the county line. The 320-535-5637 number is listed for the chief and officers; it is not a dispatch line. City Hall shares the address but handles city business only. Neither office is a jail, a court or a place to pay criminal bail.

  • Locating an Eden Valley Arrestee

    Start with Eden Valley Police at 320-453-5452, then check both counties: search the Stearns County current-inmate roster and Meeker County's daily jail roster, or call Stearns jail central control or Meeker County Jail at 320-693-5415. An address or incident location can help tell which county's records apply.

    Stearns County Jail central control (24/7): 320-259-3760

  • County Jail Booking

    An arrest and a jail booking are different events, and a citation is not necessarily detention. Booking — at the Stearns or Meeker County jail, depending on the case — involves identification and records processing, so a recent arrest may not appear right away. The arresting city does not by itself decide the booking county.

  • Official Inmate Search

    Stearns County's inmate and warrant search page links the current-inmate roster, which shows adults presently recorded in custody. It is not an arrest log, a warrant system or a court record, and it may not update the moment someone is booked or released. GPS is independent of it and cannot change it. Meeker County posts its own daily jail roster as a PDF on its Jail page — a printed snapshot rather than a live search, so confirm with Meeker County Jail at 320-693-5415. Jail, court and warrant records are separate systems.

  • Bail and Release Conditions

    The district court handling the case — Stearns County (Seventh Judicial District) or Meeker County (Eighth Judicial District) — may release someone without monetary bail, on conditions, with money bail, or a combination. Conditions still apply after a bond is posted.

  • Cash Bail vs. Surety Bond

    Cash bail paid directly as the court authorizes is different from a surety premium paid to a bail bond agency, which is not returned. Each county jail has its own procedure — confirm the amount, conditions and payment rules with the facility actually holding the person.

  • Probation and Other Holds

    A warrant, probation matter or other legal hold — in either county or elsewhere — can keep someone in custody even after bail is posted on the Eden Valley case, and one bond does not clear every hold. See our Warrant and Probation Violation guides.

  • Court dates

    Court Appearance Information

    An Eden Valley case may be filed in Stearns County District Court (St. Cloud, Seventh Judicial District) or Meeker County District Court (Litchfield, Eighth Judicial District). Verify the actual filing county and the assigned hearing location from the case record rather than the city name or ZIP code. Official court calendars can change, and Minnesota Court Records Online is a court record — not a jail roster. Release paperwork lists the next court date; court paperwork controls, and every appearance and order must be followed.

09 · About

About Eden Valley, Minnesota

  • Eden Valley, ZIP 55329, sits where Minnesota Highways 22 and 55 cross: Highway 22 runs north to Richmond and south to Litchfield, and Highway 55 runs west to Paynesville and east to Kimball.
  • The city lies across the Stearns–Meeker county boundary — Stearns County to the north, Meeker County to the south — so it is part of both counties rather than one or the other.
  • It is a small rural community in central Minnesota farm and lake country, with Eden Lake just to the north. The town was platted in 1886 as the railroad arrived, and it has had a post office since 1887.
  • Eden Valley-Watkins Public Schools (ISD #463), the Eden Valley Area Library and the Eden Valley Community Center are anchors of local life, along with the city's chamber of commerce.
  • Eden Valley Police Department, at 171 Cossairt Avenue West, is the city's own agency, main number 320-453-5452. City Hall shares the address, with its own number, 320-453-5251, and weekday office hours.
  • Policing is a city function, but custody and court are county functions with two possible pathways — Stearns County Jail and District Court in St. Cloud, or Meeker County Jail and District Court in Litchfield. Official booking and court records confirm which applies to a given case.
