Edina Jail Mugshots and Arrest Records

Edina jail mugshots are held at the Hennepin County Adult Detention Center in Minneapolis, where all Edina Police Department arrests are processed. Edina has a population of about 53,000 and sits in eastern Hennepin County, just south of Minneapolis. The city does not operate its own jail, so all bookings go through the county facility. Edina has a clear public records process with an online form for submitting data requests, and the city designates specific staff for handling police records separately from general city records. The county jail inmate search is the fastest tool for checking current custody status.

Hennepin County Jail - Edina Arrest Bookings

All arrests made by the Edina Police Department go to the Hennepin County Adult Detention Center at 350 South 5th Street in Minneapolis. The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office operates the facility and handles the booking process. This creates the official arrest record, including the booking photo, fingerprints, and charge information. These records are public under Minnesota's Government Data Practices Act for adult offenders.

The county jail inmate search at co.hennepin.mn.us/jail lets you look up whether someone from Edina is currently in custody. The search is free, no account needed, and shows basic booking information for current detainees.

Edina Police Department Records Process

Edina has a structured process for public data requests, with different staff handling different types of records. The City Clerk, Sharon Allison, is the responsible authority for general government data requests. You can reach her at 952-826-0408 or by email at sallison@EdinaMN.gov. For police-related records specifically, the Police Data Designee is Lynn Olson at 952-826-0488 or LOlson@EdinaMN.gov. Having the right contact matters because sending your request to the wrong person can slow things down.

Edina provides an online public data request form at edinamn.gov. This form covers both police and general city data requests. You can also find detailed information about what records are available and how the process works at the city's public records information page at edinamn.gov/288. In-person requests are handled at the police department at 4801 W 50th St during regular business hours. Mail requests go to the same address.

Edina's public records information page explains what types of records the city maintains, how to request them, and who handles different categories of data.

Reading through the records info page first can help you understand what is public, what requires a formal request, and who to contact based on the type of record you need.

The Edina public data request form is available online and covers both police records and general government data; submitting through this form creates a record of your request.

The online form is the most efficient way to request records from the City of Edina, and the form submission triggers a response from the appropriate designee based on the type of data you are requesting.

How to Search Edina Jail Mugshots

The best starting point is the Hennepin County jail inmate search. Enter the person's last name at co.hennepin.mn.us/jail. If they are currently in the county detention center following an Edina arrest, they will show up in the results. The tool is free and shows real-time custody status. If they are no longer in custody, the active roster won't help, and you'll need to take another approach.

For historical arrest data or specific booking photos, submit a written public data request to the Edina Police Records Designee or to the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office. Minnesota Statute 13.82 makes arrest data public. This covers the name of the arrested person, their date of birth, the time and place of the arrest, and the charge. Booking photos are also classified as public data for adult arrests in most situations.

You can also search criminal court cases from Edina at the Minnesota public court access system at publicaccess.courts.state.mn.us. Hennepin County District Court handles criminal cases from Edina. You can search by name or case number. The system shows charges, hearing dates, and basic case outcomes. Some case documents may not be online, but the docket entries are generally available for adult criminal cases.

Requesting Edina Booking Photo Copies

Submit a written request using Edina's online form or by mail to the police department. Address police data requests to Lynn Olson at 4801 W 50th St, Edina, MN 55424, or call 952-826-0488. For booking photos specifically, you may also need to contact the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office since the jail holds those records. Both agencies must respond within 10 business days under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act found at Minn. Stat. 13.03.

Include the full name of the person, the approximate date of the arrest, and any case or incident number you have. Standard copying fees apply, currently $0.25 per page for paper copies. The city will contact you if a fee is required before providing the records. Some digital records may come at no cost. If any part of the request cannot be fulfilled because the data is not public, the agency will tell you in writing and cite the specific statute that restricts the data.

For anyone concerned about a person's release from the Hennepin County Jail, the VINE notification system at vinelink.com provides free custody status alerts. Register with the inmate's name and choose how you want to be notified. VINE will contact you when their status changes. The service is free and open to anyone.

The Criminal History System maintained by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension at chs.state.mn.us holds official criminal history records at the state level. These are separate from local jail mugshots but can provide a broader view of someone's criminal history across Minnesota agencies.
