How to Request Lakeville Police Records
Lakeville offers an online Data Request form for police records. You can access the form through the department's police forms page at lakevillemn.gov/370/Police-Forms. To use the form, you must provide a valid state ID, driver's license, military ID, or passport. The requirement applies to all requesters and helps the department verify identity before releasing records.
The department also accepts online incident reports for certain minor crimes. You can file a report online for lost property, theft from a vehicle, other thefts (excluding firearms or vehicles), vandalism, property damage, fraud, and internet or phone scams. This is not a substitute for calling dispatch -- it is a convenience for incidents that do not require an immediate officer response.
Fingerprinting is available by appointment on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. The fee is $20 for Lakeville residents and $40 for non-residents. Call 952-985-2800 to schedule. Fingerprint cards are needed for many employment and licensing applications that require a state or federal background check.
Note: Lakeville's online data request form requires a valid government-issued ID to verify identity before records are released -- have that ready before starting the form.
Dakota County Jail Booking Records
Lakeville arrests result in bookings at the Dakota County Jail. The Dakota County Sheriff's Office maintains jail records and the inmate roster. You can access that at dakotacountysheriff.org/jail. The roster is public under Minn. Stat. 13.82 and shows people currently in custody, their booking dates, and their charges. Anyone can search without creating an account.
Dakota County serves the southern metro, taking in arrests from Lakeville, Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, and other cities. The jail is a busy facility. Booking records reflect the information entered at intake, which means charges can change as cases move through the court system. Always check court records if you need current case status.
For more on how Dakota County handles jail records and bookings, see the Dakota County Booking Reports page.
Note: Dakota County jail records show booking date and initial charges -- charges amended after arraignment will appear in court records, not the jail roster.
VINE Custody Notifications

Court Records and BCA Checks
Booking records document an arrest. Court records tell you what happened after that. Use Minnesota Court Records Online at publicaccess.courts.state.mn.us to search by name for Lakeville-area cases in the 1st Judicial District, which covers Dakota County. The system shows case numbers, charges, hearing dates, and final outcomes including convictions, dismissals, or plea deals.
For a full criminal history search across Minnesota, the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension offers a tool at dps.mn.gov. BCA results show statewide conviction data. There is a fee for each search. It is the right tool when a booking record or single-county court search isn't enough to get a complete picture.
The MN Department of Corrections Offender Locator at coms.doc.state.mn.us shows where someone is housed if they are serving a state prison sentence.
