Kanabec County Jail Roster and Sheriff's Office
The Kanabec County Sheriff's Office operates at 317 Maple Avenue East, Suite 143, in Mora. The sheriff's website at kanabeccounty.org is the starting point for booking reports and inmate information. The office maintains the county jail and handles all law enforcement records for Kanabec County.
Kanabec County is a rural county north of Isanti County and east of Mille Lacs County. The county seat of Mora serves as the hub for county government. The jail is a smaller facility typical of rural Minnesota counties. Arrests by the sheriff's office and city police departments in the county result in bookings here.
For current inmate status, call the jail housing line at 320-679-8402. That line is specific to jail operations and is more direct than the main sheriff's line at 320-679-8400 for time-sensitive inmate inquiries. Staff can confirm whether someone is in custody, what they're charged with, and what bail conditions apply.
Note: For current inmate status at the Kanabec County Jail, use the jail housing line at 320-679-8402 rather than the general sheriff's line.

Kanabec County Warrants
The Kanabec County Sheriff's Office publishes active warrants at kanabeccounty.org/departments/warrants.php. The warrant database is updated nightly. That nightly cycle is important to know: if a warrant was just issued today, it may not appear until the next day's update. For urgent warrant checks, call the office directly.
A warrant means a judge has issued an order authorizing the person's arrest. This happens in several situations: failure to appear in court, violating terms of probation or supervised release, or being charged in a new criminal case. People with active warrants can be taken into custody at any time by any law enforcement officer in the state.
Note: The Kanabec County warrant database is updated nightly, so same-day warrant issuances may not appear until the following day's update.
Records Fees and Requests
The Kanabec County Sheriff's Office charges set fees for records. The first page of any document costs $5.00. Each additional page is $0.25. Those rates are consistent with what many Minnesota county agencies charge under state guidelines. For records involving multiple documents or large case files, costs can add up, so it's worth asking about the volume before submitting a request.
Other fees apply to specific formats. Fingerprinting is $5.00 per card. CD duplication for digital records runs $25.00. Audio and video records cost between $15.00 and $25.00 depending on the format. These fees cover the cost of processing and reproducing the records. Payment methods and exact procedures should be confirmed with the records office before submitting a request.
Requests can typically be submitted in person or by mail. The records office is at the same address as the sheriff's office at 317 Maple Avenue East. Include as much identifying information as possible with your request: full name, date of birth, case number if known, and the date range of records you're looking for. This helps staff locate the right records faster.
Minnesota Law and Public Booking Data
Minnesota Statutes section 13.82 makes arrest data public. The Kanabec County Sheriff must release basic booking information to any member of the public who asks. This includes names, arrest dates, the agency that made the arrest, and the charges at the time of booking. The Minnesota Government Data Practices Act in Chapter 13 of state law sets the full framework for access.
Juvenile records are typically restricted. Active investigations can delay or limit what gets released. Sealed records are not available. For adult arrests, the data is public by default under state law. If a records request is denied, the agency must give a written explanation citing the specific legal basis for the denial.
