Plymouth Arrest Records Search
Plymouth busted mugshots go through the Hennepin County jail system, since Plymouth does not have its own jail. Located west of Minneapolis, Plymouth has about 81,000 residents and sits in the heart of Hennepin County. The Plymouth Police Department handles law enforcement for the city, but all arrests lead to booking at the Hennepin County Adult Detention Center. That is where the mugshot gets taken and the charges get entered. This guide covers the best ways to find busted mugshots from Plymouth arrests and what online search tools are available.
Plymouth Overview
Hennepin County Jail and Plymouth Bookings
Plymouth does not run a city jail. When Plymouth Police arrest someone, the person gets taken to the Hennepin County Adult Detention Center in Minneapolis. The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office operates the facility at 350 South 5th Street. All booking, custody, and release operations are handled there.
The booking process includes a photograph, fingerprinting, and entry of charges into the county system. Under Minnesota Statute 13.82, subd. 26, the booking photo is public data. The arrest date, time, location, and charges are all public information as well. Anyone can ask for this data.
The Hennepin County Adult Corrections Facility is also located in the Plymouth area. This is a separate facility from the main detention center, used for sentenced inmates serving shorter terms.
To check on someone in the Hennepin County jail, call (612) 348-5112.
