Coon Rapids Overview
Coon Rapids Police Department
The Coon Rapids Police Department handles all law enforcement in the city. The department is located at 11155 Robinson Drive, Coon Rapids, MN 55433. General office hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM. The main office number is 763-767-6481, but this line is for general questions only. It is not for requesting an officer.
For any situation where you need an officer to respond, call 911. That goes for emergencies and non-emergencies alike. Coon Rapids uses 911 for all dispatched calls, whether it is a break-in, a barking dog, a car lockout, or suspicious activity. If you are calling from outside Anoka County, the non-emergency dispatch number is 763-427-1212. The department makes it clear that 911 is the right call for anything that needs a police response in the city.
The department offers an online form for police report requests. This makes it easier to get copies of incident reports without visiting the station. Records staff process these requests and can provide arrest logs, call logs, and other public documents. Not all records can be released, but basic arrest data is public under Minnesota law.

How to Find Coon Rapids Inmates
Start with the Anoka County Sheriff's Office to check if someone is in the county jail. The sheriff runs the detention facility where Coon Rapids arrestees are held. Call the non-emergency line at 763-427-1212 to ask about current custody status. For people who have been sentenced to state prison, the Minnesota DOC Inmate Locator is the primary search tool. Enter a name or DOC number to find facility location, charges, and release dates.
The DOC Search Portal offers tools for fugitive searches and victim notification sign-ups. If you need criminal history information, the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension maintains the statewide criminal records database. Coon Rapids arrest data feeds into the BCA system automatically. Some background check requests require fingerprints and a processing fee.
Court records show what happened after the arrest. The Minnesota Judicial Branch has online case data for Anoka County District Court in the 10th Judicial District. Search by name or case number. You can see charges, case status, and sentencing information. That tells you whether someone ended up in county jail or state prison, so you know which system to check for current custody.
Newly booked inmates may not show up in databases right away. Allow a few hours for booking records to update in the county system.
Inmate Population Data Access
Arrest data is public in Minnesota. The Minnesota Government Data Practices Act makes the following information available to anyone: the arrested person's name, charges, time and place of arrest, and arresting agency. Both the Coon Rapids Police and the Anoka County Sheriff follow these rules. Booking photos fall under public data in most situations.
Private data stays restricted. Medical and mental health records of inmates cannot be released. Financial details about someone in custody are also off limits. Under Minn. Stat. 13.85, corrections and detention data is classified based on security and privacy risks. Data that has been presented in open court becomes accessible to the public. Crime victims have special rights to certain data that the general public cannot get, especially information needed for safety planning or restitution claims.
Anoka County Jail System
The Anoka County jail holds people arrested in Coon Rapids and 20 other cities in the county. The facility processes thousands of bookings each year. During intake, staff record personal details, take fingerprints and photos, and log all charges. Warrants from other jurisdictions get checked too. All of this becomes part of the county's inmate population data.
State law under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 641 sets standards for county jails. Gender separation is required. Juveniles must be kept apart from adults. The jail provides meals, medical care, and phone access. Weekly reporting of inmate population data to the courts is mandatory under Minn. Stat. 641.05. The BCA also receives data for statewide tracking. Private prisons are banned in Minnesota under Minn. Stat. 641.015, so the Anoka County jail is run by county employees.
Before releasing someone, the jail must provide discharge planning under Minn. Stat. 641.155. Staff connect inmates with community resources like housing, treatment, and job help. Anoka County works with local nonprofits and county social services on these transition plans. The goal is reducing the number of people who end up back in the system after release.
