Use the office that created or holds the record. The Sheriff’s Office, Jail Division, and Benton County District Court are the local official starting points. The following routes distinguish current custody, a court outcome, state corrections, and federal or immigration status.
- For a current Benton County booking or a public-data request, start with the county records guide and then use the sheriff or jail line.
- For a court outcome or a case-specific warrant question, use Minnesota Court Records Online or Benton County District Court, 320-968-5205.
- For a custody-change alert, use Minnesota VINE through the county’s official VINE page, rather than treating a roster result as a release notice.
- For a person sentenced to Minnesota prison or under state supervision, use the Minnesota Department of Corrections public locator.
- For federal custody, use the Bureau of Prisons locator. For immigration detention, use ICE’s Online Detainee Locator System.
- For a city police report, use the responsible Sauk Rapids, Saint Cloud, or Foley police records route and identify the date, location, and report number if known.
