Sherburne County Jail and Sheriff

The Sherburne County Sheriff's Office is at 13880 Business Center Drive NW, Suite 100, in Elk River. Call (763) 765-3500 for the Sheriff's Office or (763) 765-3800 for the jail. The facility has 732 beds. That is huge for a county this size. The reason is that Sherburne County holds federal detainees under contract with ICE, making it one of the larger detention operations in the state.

The jail processes a large number of bookings. County inmates, state holds, and federal detainees all go through the same booking system. That means the online inmate search covers a broad range of people in custody. Booking dates, charges, and bond amounts are all part of the data that shows up in the search results.

For records requests, contact the Records Division at records@co.sherburne.mn.us. Document copies cost $0.25 per page. Written requests can be sent to the Sherburne County Sheriff's Office, Records Division, at the Elk River address.

Sherburne County Arrest Records

Arrest data from Sherburne County is public under Minnesota Statute 13.82. Public arrest data includes the time, date, place, charges, and identity of the person arrested. Booking photos are classified as public under subdivision 26. The Sheriff's Office provides this data through its online tools and through formal records requests.

For criminal history data, the BCA maintains the statewide database. Under Statute 13.87, conviction data is public for 15 years after discharge of sentence. Search for free at cch.state.mn.us. Arrests that did not result in a conviction are generally classified as private data.

Federal Detainees in Sherburne County

Sherburne County's jail holds federal detainees under contract with ICE. This is a significant part of the facility's operations and one reason the jail is so large. Federal detainee records are handled differently than county records. The Federal Bureau of Prisons runs its own inmate locator for people in federal custody. If you are looking for a federal detainee specifically, you may need to search both the Sherburne County system and the federal system.

County inmates and state holds are searchable through the standard county inmate search. The online tool does not always distinguish between county, state, and federal holds in its search results. If you are unsure about someone's status, calling the jail at (763) 765-3800 is the most direct way to get an answer.

Records Request Process

If you need documents beyond what the online search provides, you can submit a records request. Send a written request to the Sherburne County Sheriff's Office Records Division or email records@co.sherburne.mn.us. Standard copy fees are $0.25 per page for paper documents. Under Minnesota Statute 13.03, public data must be made available upon request, and copy fees are capped at 25 cents per page for 100 or fewer pages.

Tips for Searching Sherburne County Inmates

Name variations trip people up. Try first name, last name, and middle name if you have it. Nicknames will not match. Hyphenated last names can cause issues too. If the inmate search returns no results, try just the last name. The Sherburne County jail roster may list someone under a legal name that differs from what you expect.

Check both the county inmate search and VINELink for the best results. The county system shows bond amounts that VINELink may not include. VINELink adds the alert feature. Using both gives you the most complete picture of an inmate's booking records and custody status in Sherburne County. For older arrest records that no longer show on the roster, the BCA public criminal history search picks up conviction data under Statute 13.87.
