Where a Question Belongs
Records follow the agency and custody type. These routes help direct a request without implying that every office holds every record.
- For a current county-jail entry or a released booking record, use the sheriff and the Chapter 13 request route.
- For a court file or case access, contact Swift County Court Administration or use MCRO.
- For a possible warrant, follow the official route on Sheriff's Most Wanted.
- For a state-jurisdiction record, use the Minnesota DOC public viewer or DOC Records.
- For federal custody, use the BOP locator. For ICE detention, use the ICE locator.
- For a city incident report, start with the relevant Benson, Appleton, or Kerkhoven agency route, then separate it from the county jail record.
