Maple Grove Released Inmates

Maple Grove released inmates and custody records are managed through the Hennepin County Jail system. When the Maple Grove Police Department makes an arrest, the person is transferred to county custody at the Hennepin County Jail in Minneapolis. Maple Grove is a northwest suburb of the Twin Cities with roughly 70,000 residents, and the city does not operate its own jail. Finding someone who has been arrested in Maple Grove means searching Hennepin County records, not city records.

Finding Someone Arrested in Maple Grove

All arrests made by the Maple Grove Police Department are booked into the Hennepin County Jail. The county runs two main jail locations: the Public Safety Facility at 401 South 4th Avenue in Minneapolis and the Adult Corrections Facility in Plymouth. If you need to find someone who was arrested in Maple Grove, start by calling the jail information line at 612-348-5112 or emailing sheriff.jailinfo@hennepin.us. You can also search the online jail roster at jailroster.hennepin.us, which is updated regularly and shows both current inmates and those released within the last seven days.

The Hennepin County Jail roster is the fastest way to locate a recently booked person. Search by name, and you will see booking details, charges, and current custody status. For people who have been released from county jail and are now under state supervision, use the Minnesota Department of Corrections Offender Locator instead. That tool covers state prison inmates and those on supervised release, but it does not show county jail records.

The Maple Grove Police Department is located at 12800 Arbor Lakes Parkway North, Maple Grove, MN 55369. Their main number is (763) 494-6100. For questions about records requests related to a specific arrest, the police department can help with local report copies. However, for custody and booking status, the county jail is the right contact.

Hennepin County Jail Records

The Hennepin County Jail is the largest in Minnesota and holds people arrested across all of Hennepin County's 45-plus municipalities. It is the only ACA-accredited jail in the state. When someone is booked in from Maple Grove, they go through intake at one of the two county facilities. Intake includes fingerprinting, photographing, searching, and assignment to a housing unit. The jail roster reflects this booking process and goes live within a few hours of intake.

For people who want ongoing notifications about a person's custody status, the VINE service is the right tool. VINE stands for Victim Information and Notification Everyday. It is free and available around the clock. You can register by calling 877-664-8463 or visiting vinelink.com. Once you register, VINE will call or text you when the person's custody status changes, including when they are released. This service covers county jail inmates, which is different from Minnesota Haven, which only covers state DOC inmates.

Hennepin County coordinates law enforcement across all of its municipalities, with the Attorney's Office working directly with city police departments like Maple Grove PD on prosecutions. The above page lists all municipal police contacts in the county and confirms that all arrestees go to the county jail system.

State-Level Inmate Search Tools

If someone was arrested in Maple Grove on a felony charge, they may eventually end up in state prison rather than the county jail. The Minnesota Department of Corrections runs the Offender Locator at coms.doc.state.mn.us/PublicViewer/. This free tool lets you search by name, offender ID, or date of birth. Results show current location, charges, sentence length, and release or supervised release dates. If the person has finished their sentence completely and is off supervision, they will not appear in the locator.

The DOC Offender Locator covers adults committed to the Commissioner of Corrections. It includes both those who are currently in prison and those who have been released but remain on supervised release. It does not include county jail inmates. For DOC records questions, contact DOC Records Management at (651) 361-7330 or by email at CO-Records.DOC@state.mn.us.

A second state-level tool is the Predatory Offender Registry. This is a separate database maintained by the DOC and covers people who are required to register as predatory offenders under Minnesota law. You can search it at coms.doc.state.mn.us/PublicRegistrantSearch/. Only Level II and Level III offenders appear in public search results. Level I offenders are known to law enforcement but not posted publicly.

Court Records for Maple Grove Cases

Criminal cases from Maple Grove go through the Hennepin County District Court. You can search case records for free using Minnesota Court Records Online (MCRO) at publicaccess.courts.state.mn.us. Search by the defendant's name or the case number. Results show charges, hearing dates, case status, and orders. Documents filed after July 1, 2015 are generally available online, though some may require a small fee to view the full document.

Guest access is free and lets you see case summaries and the register of actions without creating an account. If you plan to check records often, registering for a free account gives you extra features like saved searches and the ability to order documents online. For older cases, you may need to contact the Hennepin County District Court Administrator directly. Criminal Division is located at the Hennepin County Government Center, 300 South 6th Street, Minneapolis.

Court records show what charges were filed, what happened at each hearing, and whether the case resulted in a conviction, acquittal, or dismissal. They do not always reflect real-time custody status, since a person may be out on bail while their case is pending. For current custody status, always check the jail roster or VINE.

Predatory Offender Registration in Maple Grove

Minnesota requires people convicted of certain offenses to register as predatory offenders. The law is found at Minnesota Statutes Section 243.166. Registration is required for a minimum of ten years and can extend to lifetime registration depending on the offense and risk level. Offenders must report their address to local law enforcement when they move into a city, which means Maple Grove Police Department maintains records of registered offenders in the city.

Community notification rules are set out at Minnesota Statutes Section 244.052. End-of-Confinement Review Committees assign each offender a risk level before release. Level III offenders, considered the highest risk, are subject to broad community notification and are listed on the public DOC registry. Level II offenders may be disclosed to agencies the person is likely to encounter. Level I offenders are not listed publicly. For questions about registered offenders in Maple Grove, you can contact the DOC Community Notification Unit at (651) 361-7340 or toll-free at (866) 396-9953.

Minnesota Haven Victim Notification

If you are a crime victim and want to be notified when a state prison inmate is released, you can sign up for Minnesota Haven. This is a free service run by the DOC Victim Assistance Program. It covers DOC inmates only, not county jail inmates. You can register by downloading the form from the DOC website and emailing it to victimassistance.doc@state.mn.us, or by calling 1-800-657-3830. Notifications include 60-day advance release notices, conditional release, final release, supervised release changes, and escape alerts.

For county jail releases in Maple Grove cases, VINE is the right service. Call 877-664-8463 or register at vinelink.com. VINE and Minnesota Haven serve different populations, so it is worth registering for both if the person was charged in a case that could result in either county or state confinement.

Requesting Arrest Records

Under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, law enforcement agencies must provide public access to certain arrest data. Minnesota Statutes Section 13.82 sets out what law enforcement data is public, including the name of the person arrested, the date and time of arrest, the charges, and the arresting agency. To request arrest records from Maple Grove PD, contact the department at (763) 494-6100. Have the person's name and approximate date of the incident ready. Processing times can vary, but the department is required to acknowledge your request promptly.

For jail and booking records, contact Hennepin County Sheriff's Office Administration at 612-348-3744. You can also email sheriff.jailinfo@hennepin.us for general inmate information. Written data requests should be directed to the Sheriff's Office at 350 South 5th Street, Minneapolis, MN 55415. Include the full name, date of birth if known, and approximate date of arrest in your request.

The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) maintains statewide criminal history records. You can learn more through the BCA at dps.mn.gov/divisions/bca. Full criminal history background checks through the BCA require a formal request and identity verification. These records cover convictions statewide, not just Maple Grove.
