How to Get Duluth Arrest Records

Duluth arrest records are available from two main sources. For records of arrests made by Duluth PD officers, contact the Duluth Police Department records division at 2030 Arlington Avenue or through the department's website. For any jail-level data or records tied to St. Louis County Sheriff activity, contact the St. Louis County Sheriff's Office at 100 North 5th Avenue West. Both agencies follow the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, which classifies arrest data as public under Minnesota Statutes Section 13.82.

In-person requests are generally the fastest option when you know what you need. Walk in during business hours, bring the person's full name and date of birth, and be ready to describe what specific records you are asking for. For court records tied to Duluth arrests, use the St. Louis County District Court search at mncourts.gov. Court records, arrest reports, and criminal history files are three separate things. A court case record will show charges, outcomes, and whether any warrants are active.

Note: For statewide criminal history covering all agencies, the BCA at dps.mn.gov/divisions/bca handles those requests separately from the local police department.

Warrants and Court Records in Duluth

Warrants tied to Duluth cases are in the St. Louis County District Court system. The case search at mncourts.gov lets you look up cases by name or case number. Warrant status appears in the case record. The full warrant document is with the court clerk. For confirmation of an active warrant, the case record on the court portal is the most accessible public tool.

Under Minnesota Statutes Section 13.85, investigative data in active criminal cases may be restricted until the investigation closes. This affects recent Duluth arrests where an investigation is ongoing. Once charges are filed and the case moves to court, most public data becomes available for review. If you are searching for records on a very recent arrest and data appears limited, check back after formal charges have been filed with the St. Louis County District Court.

For Minnesota DOC records on people who have been sentenced and are in state custody, search the public viewer at coms.doc.state.mn.us/publicviewer. That is separate from jail-level booking data.
