Meeker County Jail Mugshots Roster Access
Meeker County publishes its jail roster as a PDF document. The roster includes a mugshot for each inmate, along with their name, address, age, sex, race, arrest date and time, the agency that is holding them, and their charges. The document is updated daily. Because it is a PDF rather than a live web page, there is no search form. Open the file in your browser or PDF viewer and use Ctrl+F to search for a specific name.
Visit the Meeker County Detention Center page to find the roster link. You can also access the roster PDF directly. The Detention Center page also has information on inmate release times and how to write to inmates. Families can find out when sentenced inmates will be released by checking the posted release schedule.

Contact the Sheriff's Office by phone at 320-693-5417 or visit in person at 326 N. Ramsey, Litchfield, MN 55355. A written records request may be needed for certified or historical copies. Under Minnesota Statute 13.03, the agency has 10 business days to respond. Copying fees run about $0.25 per page. The Minnesota Information Policy Division is the state resource if your request is denied and you need to appeal.
