Edina Booking Reports
Edina Police Department
The Edina Police Department handles law enforcement for the city. Chief Todd Milburn leads the department. The department is located at 4801 W. 50th St., Edina, MN 55424. Administration hours run Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The 24-hour dispatch line is 952-826-1600. For non-emergency matters, call 952-826-1610.
When Edina officers make an arrest, the person is transported to the Hennepin County Jail for booking. The police department keeps its own records -- incident reports, crash reports, body camera footage -- that are separate from the jail's booking data. The main website is at edinamn.gov/police.
The department deployed body-worn cameras in December 2020. All uniformed officers now wear cameras. Under Minnesota law, body camera footage is presumptively private data, meaning it is not automatically public and typically requires a formal request and review before any footage can be released.

Requesting Edina Police Records
For police records from Edina, contact the department at 952-826-1610 during administration hours or use the city's records request process. The FAQ page at edinamn.gov/faq explains what types of data are available, how classifications work under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, and what to expect during the request process.
Arrest data covered by Minn. Stat. 13.82 is public. This includes the name, date and time of arrest, the charges listed at booking, and the arresting agency. Other records -- victim information, witness statements, investigative detail, and body camera footage -- may be classified differently and require additional review before release.
The Edina Police Department publishes weekly crime reports at edinamn.gov. These are summaries of recent incidents and are available without a formal records request. They give a general view of police activity in the city but do not include full incident report text.
If you need a specific report or more detailed records, a formal written request is required. Be ready to provide the case number, date, and type of incident to help staff locate the right file quickly.
Note: Edina's weekly crime reports are publicly available online without a request -- check those first if you are looking for general incident information rather than a specific report.
Hennepin County Jail Booking Records
When someone is arrested in Edina, booking takes place at the Hennepin County Jail. The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office operates the jail. Booking records are public under Minn. Stat. 13.82 and include name, date of arrest, listed charges, and current custody status. The Hennepin County Jail roster is available online at jailroster.hennepin.us.
The roster is updated as bookings occur. If you are trying to confirm whether someone arrested in Edina is currently in custody, this is the fastest place to check. You can search by name and see what was entered at intake, including the charges and the date of booking.
Booking charges reflect what the arresting officer entered at intake. They can change as the case progresses. Prosecutors may file different charges, reduce what was originally listed, or decline to prosecute. The booking record is a point-in-time snapshot, not a final outcome.
For full information on how Hennepin County handles bookings, jail operations, and county-level records, see the Hennepin County Booking Reports page.
Note: Hennepin County's online jail roster shows active holds only -- once someone is released, they are removed, so check MCRO for the full case record after release.
Fingerprinting and Other Services
The Edina Police Department offers fingerprinting services on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. An appointment is required. You can book online through the city's scheduling system. This service is available to Edina residents and teachers only. The fee is $15 for the first fingerprint card and $5 for each additional card. Fingerprinting is separate from the records request process and is commonly used for employment background checks, professional licensing, or adoption applications.
This is one of the more specific local services Edina offers that many nearby cities do not. If you need a fingerprint-based background check and live or work in Edina as a teacher, this service can save you a trip to a third-party provider.
VINE Notifications
VINE -- Victim Information and Notification Everyday -- sends alerts when someone's custody status changes at the Hennepin County Jail. Register at vinelink.com or call 1-877-MN-4-VINE. Once registered, you receive notifications by phone, text, or email when the person is released, transferred to another facility, or has a court event. The service is free and runs 24 hours a day.
VINE is useful for crime victims who need to stay informed after someone is arrested in Edina. It connects directly to the jail's records system, so updates happen automatically. You don't need to call the jail or check the roster manually to stay up to date.
Court Records and BCA Checks for Edina Cases
