Anoka County Jail Roster Overview
The official Anoka County Inmate Locator is the primary local source for county jail and workhouse custody information. The county says the Anoka County Jail and Workhouse maintain online, searchable public records for people currently in custody or released from those facilities 30 days prior to today's date. The locator is tied to the Sheriff's Office and Jail Division rather than the District Court records room, although a pending criminal or traffic case may also appear in Minnesota Court Records Online.
The inmate locator disclaimer says the information is public data provided under Minnesota Statutes sections 13.82, 13.85, and 641.05. It also warns users not to rely on roster information for legal action and notes that an arrest does not mean guilt or conviction. For the current status of a pending legal matter, the county points users to the Minnesota Court System. If a person has been transferred because of overcrowding, the county says transfer information will be noted in the online record.
The Anoka County Sheriff's Office lists the jail, inmate locator, online warrant search, and request-data channels. Sheriff Brad Wise is the current sheriff, and the office headquarters is at 13301 Hanson Boulevard NW in Andover. The main Sheriff's Office number is 763-324-5000, non-emergency dispatch is 763-427-1212, and the Request Data and Police Reports phone number listed on the Sheriff's page is 763-324-5050.
The official Anoka County Inmate Locator page is the starting point for current custody and recent release searches.
Use the locator for county jail and workhouse custody, then use court, DOC, or federal tools only when the person has moved outside local jail custody.
How to Use the Anoka County Inmate Roster
The public roster is dynamic, and the static research capture did not expose a live profile or all form labels. Follow the labels shown in the live county application and remember the published scope: current custody plus releases from the Anoka County Jail or Workhouse during the prior 30 days. If the person is no longer in county custody, search the state DOC Public Viewer or the federal Bureau of Prisons locator as appropriate.
- Open the Anoka County Inmate Locator.
- Read the public-data disclaimer before relying on a result.
- Enter the search information requested by the live form, such as a name if the form asks for one.
- Review whether the result is current custody, a recent release, or a transfer note.
- Use Minnesota Court Records Online for filed District Court case status, hearings, charges, and dispositions.
- Use Anoka County Request Data or the Sheriff's 763-324-5050 records/data phone channel for county-held data not shown in the roster.
Roster Search Fields
The county page confirms that the inmate locator is searchable, but the static capture did not show every field behind the dynamic form. The safest approach is to follow the live form and avoid claiming that the roster accepts a specific field unless it is visible during the actual search session.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search / Inmate Locator | Dynamic form | Unspecified | The page is described as searchable for current custody and releases in the last 30 days. |
| Name | Text | Likely optional or required by form design | Exact official labels were not visible in the static capture. Match spelling carefully. |
| Custody / release scope | System filter | System-defined | Includes current in-custody records and releases from jail/workhouse 30 days prior to today. |
| Search button | Button | Yes | Use the live county form control after entering available identifiers. |
What an Inmate Profile Shows
No live inmate profile was opened in the research capture, so exact field names should be verified in the active roster before quoting them. The county source confirms custody status, recent release coverage, transfer notes for overcrowding, and the legal disclaimer. Other common jail roster details may appear when public, but should not be treated as guaranteed.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Full name | The person listed in county custody or recent release data, subject to identity verification. |
| Custody status | Whether the person appears as currently in custody or recently released within the roster's stated period. |
| Booking or release date | Dates tied to local jail or workhouse custody when displayed by the live roster. |
| Facility or transfer note | Jail, workhouse, or transfer information if the person was moved to another jail for overcrowding. |
| Charges or case references | Public offense or court references if displayed, with the court record checked separately in MCRO. |
| Bond or bail | Release amount or condition information if public and included in the roster. |
| Arresting agency or court information | Agency, court, or hearing details when the public roster includes them. |
Anoka County Jail Facilities
The inmate locator refers to both the Anoka County Jail and Workhouse. The research found the jail mailing address at 325 E Jackson Street, Anoka, MN 55303. It did not locate an official capacity figure in the captured source material, so capacity should not be invented. The Sheriff's Office headquarters is in Andover, while jail mail, video visitation, and custody procedures point to the jail facility in Anoka.

Booking Process in Anoka County
The Sheriff's Office describes the Anoka County Jail as the primary intake and booking facility for all county law enforcement agencies. Booking data is jail and law enforcement data, while charges, hearings, pleas, and dispositions are court records after a case is filed in District Court. A roster entry may identify custody status or public booking information, but it should not be treated as proof of guilt or final outcome.
A person arrested by a local police department or the Sheriff's Office may later have a District Court case, first appearance, bail or release conditions, and additional hearings. MCRO should be checked by case number when possible because pending criminal, traffic, and petty misdemeanor cases without convictions may not appear reliably by defendant name. For official criminal-history background checks, use the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Public Criminal History Search rather than the jail roster or MCRO.
Visitation Hours and Rules
Anoka County uses video visitation for social visits. The jail visiting information page states that professional visitors such as attorneys, probation officers, and other officers of the court may visit with valid professional identification. Friends and family may use on-site video visits at the jail, while remote video visits are available through ICSolutions for a fee and must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance. The research also identifies ICS Mobile as relevant to remote video visits because Anoka names ICSolutions for remote visitation.
The Anoka County visiting information page explains professional visits, on-site video visits, and remote ICSolutions visits.
Use the visiting information page before scheduling because remote visits, professional visits, and on-site video visits follow different procedures.
| Visit Rule | Detail | Source Context |
|---|---|---|
| Scheduling window | Schedule 24 hours before the desired date and time, up to one week in advance. | Video visiting rules |
| Visit length | One 20-minute visit per day, per incarcerated individual. | Video visiting rules |
| Arrival | Visitors should arrive no more than five minutes before a scheduled on-site visit. | Visiting information |
| Monitoring | All visits are subject to monitoring and recording. | Visiting rules |
| Remote visits | Available through ICSolutions for a fee and may be supported by ICS Mobile. | Visiting information and app research |
| Cancellation | Visits may be cancelled or altered for holidays, security, safety, or staff discretion. | Video visiting rules |
The Anoka County video visitation rules page lists scheduling, behavior, clothing, monitoring, and denial rules.
Those rules matter before a visit begins because staff may deny, change, terminate, or restrict visits for rule violations or security reasons.
How to Contact an Inmate
Mail to an incarcerated person should use the inmate's full name, Anoka County Jail, 325 E Jackson Street, Anoka, MN 55303. The county states that incoming and outgoing mail may be opened and inspected for contraband, except legal or privileged mail, which is opened in the inmate's presence. Incoming mail guidelines effective March 1, 2026 limit each mailing to no more than five pieces or items to be scanned. Photos must be no larger than 4x6, and no correspondence piece can be larger than 8.5 x 11.
The Anoka County jail mail rules page gives the current mailing address and the incoming-mail restrictions effective March 1, 2026.
Check those mail rules before sending photos, cards, envelopes, or documents because prohibited items are rejected and original mail contents are not given to inmates.
Phone calls generally may be placed by incarcerated individuals from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Calls begin with a recorded message explaining how to accept or decline the call. Inmates generally cannot receive incoming calls or messages, although urgent verified messages may be passed at staff discretion. ICSolutions is the telephone service provider. Billing or connectivity questions go to ICSolutions at 888-506-8407, voice messages for inmates use 763-575-8506, and unwanted-call blocking may be handled through phone prompts or the duty sergeant at 763-324-5106.
Commissary and Inmate Funds
Turnkey Corrections is the contract commissary provider. Family and friends may set up an Inmate Canteen / Turnkey Corrections account and deposit funds. The county says funds may be used for phone calls, vending machine items, food and hygiene orders delivered Tuesdays and Fridays, and tablet time by transfer to the debit account in ICSolutions. The Inmate Canteen website handles online account access, and the county lists ICCSupport@tkc32m.com for website support.
The Anoka County commissary account page explains Turnkey Corrections, Inmate Canteen, and jail lobby kiosk access.
Use the county commissary page before sending funds because commissary, tablet time, phone funding, and lobby kiosk rules are separate from court fines or bail payments.
Other Custody Search Channels
The Anoka County inmate locator is not a state-prison or federal-prison search. If a person has been sentenced or transferred to state custody, use the Minnesota Department of Corrections Public Viewer. If the person is in federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator. If a custody question involves a warrant rather than a booking, use the Anoka Online Warrant Search and warrant phone line. If it involves a filed criminal case, use MCRO and Anoka County District Court records.
The Minnesota DOC Public Viewer is the official state custody and supervision lookup for offenders outside local jail custody.
Use DOC records after a transfer to state custody because local jail roster data is limited to Anoka County Jail and Workhouse custody and recent releases.
MobilePatrol Public Safety appears in Apple App Store and Google Play and advertises public safety records such as jail bookings, warrants, most-wanted information, sex offenders, and alerts. The captured Anoka County official pages did not state that the Sheriff's Office currently publishes an app-only inmate lookup through MobilePatrol, so it should not replace the official Anoka County Inmate Locator.
