Minnesota Statewide Coverage
Stearns County or anywhere else in Minnesota — GPS can help with the jail and court involved. GPS has no office in New Munich.
A Stearns County Sheriff's deputy — or another authorized agency, such as the State Patrol near I-94 — may make an arrest. New Munich has no municipal police department, and a citation is not the same as jail booking.

05 · Costs
What Bail Bonds Cost in New Munich
New Munich does not have a separate city bail bond premium schedule. Stearns 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
New Munich Jails & Custody Information
New Munich has no municipal police department, jail or court. The Stearns County Sheriff's Office is the county law-enforcement contact; people held for court are generally booked into Stearns County Jail in St. Cloud, and cases go to Stearns County District Court there — confirm current custody and release terms through official sources.

New Munich has no police department of its own, and there is no Sheriff's substation in the city. For non-emergency law-enforcement matters, use the Stearns County Sheriff's dispatch line at 320‑251‑4240; other authorized agencies can respond depending on the circumstances. City Hall handles municipal business only. The Records Division (320‑259‑3700) is not the dispatch line.
The principal county custody resource for New Munich arrests, located in St. Cloud. Operated by the Stearns County Sheriff's Office on Courthouse Square. The county's current-inmate roster lists adults presently recorded in custody.
Handles criminal and traffic matters filed in Stearns County, including applicable New Munich cases. The two Courthouse Square addresses are service locations of one district court, not two courts — confirm the assigned hearing location with the court. Judges determine bail or release conditions; GPS does not set bail amounts or hearing schedules.
Start with the Stearns County current-inmate roster, searched by name — an arrest does not always mean someone is in jail. If the person isn't listed, call jail central control. For a law-enforcement question, the Sheriff's non‑emergency line is 320‑251‑4240; New Munich City Hall is not a booking desk.
Stearns County Jail central control (24/7): 320-259-3760
An arrest and a jail booking are different events. Booking at Stearns County Jail involves identification, photographs and records processing, so a recent arrest may not appear on the roster right away. A citation or summons does not automatically mean someone was booked.
03
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.
Stearns County District Court may release someone without monetary bail, on conditions, with money bail, or a combination. Conditions such as no-contact or no-alcohol terms still apply after a bond is posted.
05
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. Confirm the bail amount, conditions and payment rules with the facility actually holding the person. Those procedures do not define how GPS accepts payment.
Another case, a warrant or a probation or supervision hold can keep someone in custody even after bail is posted on the New Munich matter, and one bond does not resolve every hold. See our Warrant and Probation Violation guides.
Court dates
Court Appearance Information
Stearns County District Court, part of the Seventh Judicial District, handles criminal cases filed in Stearns County, including applicable New Munich cases. Criminal and traffic matters use 815 Courthouse Square; civil, family, juvenile and jury services use 725 Courthouse Square — two service locations of one court. Check the actual filing and assigned hearing location in current case information. Calendars can change, not every case is publicly searchable, and Minnesota Court Records Online is not the live jail roster. Court paperwork controls every appearance and release condition.

New Munich is a small city in west-central Stearns County, ZIP 56356, inside the surrounding Oak Township. State boundary records and MnDOT's township map show the city and township as separate units of government.
Main Street is the city's spine. It was once state Highway 237, a short connector to Interstate 94; the legislature authorized turning it back to Stearns County, and current MnDOT mapping shows the county road network — County Roads 12 and 30 — instead.
Settlement began in the 1850s: the History of Stearns County records a log house built in 1856 and a log church in 1859. The same history says the name came from a Bavarian hunter from Munich who stayed with the first settlers, and Minnesota place-name records note the post office was first called Oak.
Historically the village was known for its creamery and brewery and sat on the Soo Line (Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie) railroad, surrounded by dairy farms. These are historical details, not a description of businesses operating today.
The New Munich SilverStreaks play amateur baseball in the Stearns County League's North division, with home games at Silverstreak Field on Main Street, according to the Minnesota Baseball Association's 2026 schedule.
Law enforcement, custody and court are county services: the Stearns County Sheriff's Office (non-emergency 320-251-4240) is the law-enforcement contact, Stearns County Jail is at 807 Courthouse Square in St. Cloud, and cases go to Stearns County District Court in the Seventh Judicial District. City Hall handles city business only.
