What Coon Rapids Booking Records Contain

Booking records created for Coon Rapids arrests follow Minnesota's public records rules. These documents are generated at the time of booking at the Anoka County Jail and contain information that the law requires to be publicly accessible.

The public part of a booking record includes the person's name and date of birth, the date and time of booking, the arresting agency (Coon Rapids Police in most city arrests), and the charges listed at booking. These charges are preliminary. The Anoka County Attorney reviews each case and may file different charges, reduce charges, or decline to prosecute. What you see in a booking record is a snapshot at the moment of arrest.

Physical description data is also typically recorded at booking. Height, weight, eye color, and hair color are standard. A booking photo may be part of the record. Bond information gets added once a judge sets it. If the person has been released, the release date and type (bond, own recognizance, transfer to another jurisdiction) should appear in the record.

Private information not included in public booking records: medical and mental health data, juvenile records, and details about active ongoing investigations. Minnesota Statute 13.82 defines arrest data as public. Minnesota Statute 13.85 covers what jails must share versus protect. Minnesota Statute 641.05 governs the operation of county jails and forms the legal basis for how Anoka County runs its facility.
