How to Request Plymouth Police Records
To request a police report from Plymouth, you need to complete an Information Disclosure Request Form. The form is required and can be obtained through the department. Records requests are handled by the Plymouth Police Records section. You can submit the form in person during business hours or by mail to the Public Safety Building address.
The Plymouth Police Department's police reports page at plymouthmn.gov explains what types of records are available and how the request process works. Incident reports, crash reports, and related police documents are available to requesters who have a valid reason under state data practices law.
Some records are restricted. Under Minnesota data practices rules, records tied to active investigations, juvenile matters, or certain personnel files are not public. If your request is denied in whole or in part, the department must explain which law allows the denial. Processing times vary depending on the type of record and volume of pending requests. The general email address, police@plymouthmn.gov, is appropriate for general questions, but submit the actual form through the formal channel rather than by email.
Note: Plymouth requires a completed Information Disclosure Request Form for police reports -- calling or emailing alone is not enough to initiate a formal records request with the department.
Hennepin County Jail Booking Records
Plymouth arrests result in bookings at the Hennepin County Jail. The jail roster is available online at jailroster.hennepin.us. The roster lists people currently in custody along with booking dates, charges, and custody status. This information is public under Minn. Stat. 13.82. Anyone can search it without creating an account.
Hennepin County is the largest county in Minnesota by population. Its jail is a central booking facility for the western metro, receiving arrests from Plymouth, Minneapolis, and many other cities. Booking records reflect intake conditions. Charges may later be amended or dropped -- the court file is the place to check for that.
For full details on Hennepin County's jail operations, records access, and fees, see the Hennepin County Booking Reports page.
Note: The Hennepin County jail roster reflects current custody status in real time -- someone who was booked and later released will no longer appear on the active roster, so check court records for the disposition of the case.
VINE Custody Notifications
VINE -- Victim Information and Notification Everyday -- lets you track what happens after a Plymouth arrest results in a Hennepin County Jail booking. Register free at vinelink.com or call 1-877-MN-4-VINE. Once you register, the system sends alerts when the person is released, moved, or has a scheduled court appearance. VINE ties directly into jail records, so you get real-time notice without having to call in.
The service is available around the clock. You can set up phone or email alerts based on your preference. It is free for all users and does not require you to explain why you are monitoring the case.
Court Records and BCA Background Checks
A Plymouth booking record shows an arrest. It doesn't show how the case was resolved. For that, go to Minnesota Court Records Online at publicaccess.courts.state.mn.us. This free state tool lets you search by name for Hennepin County case filings, hearing dates, charges, and dispositions. Plymouth cases are heard in the 4th Judicial District.
The BCA criminal history search at dps.mn.gov gives you a statewide conviction record for any individual. There is a fee. BCA searches are commonly used when a booking report alone isn't enough -- for example, when you need to confirm a conviction or verify a criminal history that spans multiple counties.
If you need to locate someone serving time in a Minnesota state prison, the Department of Corrections Offender Locator at coms.doc.state.mn.us shows current placement and facility information.
