How to Request Maple Grove Police Records
To request a police record from Maple Grove, you need to complete an Information Disclosure Request Form. The form is the official channel for accessing incident reports, crash reports, and other police documents. You can mail the completed form to the Public Safety Facility at 12800 Arbor Lakes Parkway N, or submit it in person during business hours.
The department handles requests under Minnesota's Government Data Practices Act, which covers how public data -- including arrest data under Minn. Stat. 13.82 -- is accessed and released. Arrest records are public, but some information within a record may be restricted if it involves an active investigation, a juvenile, or protected victim data. If a portion of a record is withheld, the department must cite the legal basis.
Response times vary by record type. For simple incident reports, turnaround is often within a few business days. More complex requests or those that require review by a data practices officer can take longer. If you need a record for court purposes or legal proceedings, note that when you submit the request so staff can prioritize accordingly. Contact the main office at 763-494-6100 for guidance on the form and process.
Note: Maple Grove requires the Information Disclosure Request Form for police records -- contact the main office at 763-494-6100 if you need help obtaining or completing the form before mailing it in.
