Kandiyohi County Sheriff's Office

The Kandiyohi County Sheriff's Office operates the jail and manages all arrest records in the county. It is based in Willmar, the county seat. When someone gets booked, staff take a mugshot and enter the charges, bail amount, booking number, and intake date into the system. Kandiyohi uses the Law Enforcement Technology Group (LETG) platform for its custody records.

Kandiyohi County Arrest Record Laws

Mugshots taken at the Kandiyohi County jail are public. Minnesota Statute 13.82, subdivision 26, says booking photos are public data. Anyone can ask for them. You do not need a reason. The same statute makes arrest data partly public. The date, time, place, charges, and name are all public info.

Criminal history has some limits though. Under Statute 13.87, conviction data stays public for 15 years after the sentence ends. Arrests without convictions are private. So if someone was arrested in Kandiyohi County but never convicted, their mugshot might still be on file at the jail, but the criminal history record might not show up in a public search.

Expungement can seal records. Chapter 609A lets people petition to have certain records removed from public access. If granted, those records will not show up in searches anymore. The waiting period depends on the offense level. Sex offenses that require registration cannot be expunged under any circumstances.
