01 · Why GPS

Why Choose GPS in St. Augusta

Help for a Stearns County city without its own police department, where policing, custody and court all run through the county.

  • St. Augusta Bail Assistance

    St. Augusta has no city police department — the Stearns County Sheriff's Office provides its law enforcement. GPS helps families follow a St. Augusta arrest through the county's jail and court records.

  • Available 24/7

    Call (763) 288-2581 or send the form any time. GPS answers around the clock; St. Augusta City Hall, the county offices and the court keep their own hours.

  • Sheriff, Jail & Court Guidance

    The Sheriff's Office makes the arrest, the Stearns County Jail holds people in custody, and Stearns County District Court sets bail. They are three separate offices, and we explain which does what.

  • Clear Premium & Paperwork Guidance

    We go through court-set bail, filed surety rates, minimum collection before posting, receipts and every signed agreement and obligation before you commit.

  • Eligible Surety Bond Assistance

    If the court authorizes a bond and underwriting is met, GPS can discuss surety options and qualifying payment terms. Each case is reviewed on its own; nothing is pre-approved.

  • Minnesota Statewide Coverage

    Stearns County or anywhere else in Minnesota — GPS can help with the jail and court involved. GPS has no office in St. Augusta.

02 · Bail process

How Bail Bonds Work in St. Augusta

The usual path after a St. Augusta arrest. Every case is different; the court makes the decisions and no release time is guaranteed.

Get Bail Now
  1. 01

    Step 1 of 6

    Arrest or Citation in St. Augusta

    The Stearns County Sheriff's Office polices St. Augusta, though another authorized agency, such as the State Patrol on I-94, may also make an arrest. The result can be a citation, a summons or a custodial arrest — not every encounter means jail.

  2. 02

    Step 2 of 6

    Confirm Custody and Booking

    If someone was taken into custody, start with the Stearns County current-inmate roster. A new arrest may not appear in booking records right away, and some people are released without booking.

  3. 03

    Step 3 of 6

    Verify Court-Set Bail and Conditions

    Stearns County District Court sets release terms. A judge may set money bail, conditions or both — or release someone without monetary bail. Confirm the terms through the court or another authorized source.

  4. 04

    Step 4 of 6

    Contact GPS About Bond Options

    Call (763) 288-2581. With custody and the court's terms known, GPS can 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 paperwork, the approved 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. After release, every court appearance and release condition must be followed.

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 St. Augusta

St. Augusta 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.

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

St. Augusta Jails & Custody Information

St. Augusta does not have a police department, jail or court of its own. The Stearns County Sheriff's Office provides law enforcement; people held for court are generally booked into Stearns County Jail in St. Cloud, and cases go to Stearns County District Court — confirm current custody and release terms through official sources.

  • Locating a St. Augusta Arrestee

    Start by identifying the arresting agency — usually the Stearns County Sheriff's Office in St. Augusta. Then search the Stearns County current-inmate roster by name; if the person isn't listed, call jail central control. City Hall does not keep custody information.

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

  • County Jail Booking

    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.

  • 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.

  • Bail and Release Conditions

    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.

  • 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.

  • Probation and Other Holds

    An unrelated warrant, probation matter or legal hold from another case or county can keep someone in custody even after bail is posted on the St. Augusta matter, and posting a bond does not resolve every hold. See our Warrant and Probation Violation guides.

  • Court dates

    Court Appearance Information

    Stearns County District Court handles criminal cases filed in Stearns County, including applicable St. Augusta cases. Confirm the actual filing and assigned hearing location rather than assuming a building. Court calendars can change, not every hearing appears publicly, and Minnesota Court Records Online is not the live jail roster. Missing court or breaking a release condition can lead to a warrant or revoked release. Official court paperwork and instructions control.
