This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, arrange a release, post bond, or obtain an official booking record. Contact the public agency that created or holds the record for those matters.
Find the Right Record Holder
For county custody, a sheriff report, or a booking-record request, contact the Chippewa County Sheriff's Office at the Law Enforcement Center, 629 N 11th Street, Suite 14, Montevideo, MN 56265. The published non-emergency and report-request number is 320-269-2121, the sheriff fax is 320-269-2698, and public office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. These are public office hours, not a statement about jail booking operations. Requests may be made in person or by mail or phone. The FAQ lists $3 for a sheriff or accident report; the county schedule separately lists $5 per data-request photo and $2 per data-request disk. Confirm the current fee and format with the custodian.
- For a current county-custody entry, begin with the official LETG custody roster; the home page explains its limits and record-request fallback.
- For an active warrant, use the official warrant table and the Most Wanted page's safety-focused verification path.
- For a filed case or disposition, search Minnesota Court Records Online; a court record is not the same as a custody entry.
- For release notifications, use VINELink, which is a status-alert service rather than a booking-photo source.
- For a person under Minnesota DOC jurisdiction, use the MN DOC locator.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator or the ICE detainee locator.
