The following charts of Anoka County inmate population demographics are updated daily. The information shown is for today. For research purposes we have broken down the inmates by sex, age, ethnicity, and criminal charges.

For complete information on how to get directions, bond, visit, mail, send and receive email and texts, receive phone calls, and send money or commissary to an inmate, find arrest information for Anoka County and other counties surrounding this one, scroll down this page. We have a section for each.

We also provide photos of the jail that we have collected over the years.

The Anoka County Sheriff recommends that you use a bail bond agent licensed to do business in Anoka County.

• You can pay a cash bond yourself, or use your home in Anoka County, or in some cases the state of Minnesota, but the benefit of using a bail bond agent is that they take responsibility for making sure the inmate shows up for court in Anoka County, and if they don't, then they take the financial responsibility.
• The typical fee for a bond will be between 10-20% of the bail amount; usually 15%.  So if an offender has a bail of $10,000.00, their bond will be $1500.00.

Call 763-324-5100 to find out the exact bond (plus other fees) amount, or look it up online by looking up the information on the Anoka County inmate locator.

Anoka County Bail Bond Information

Because Anoka County and Minnesota can change their bail bond procedures, it is always best to call either the Anoka County Jail at 763-324-5100, or the court in the jurisdiction (i.e. Municipal Court, District Court, etc.) where the offender was charged, and do this right after an arrestee has been booked. 

Ask the staff at the Anoka County Jail or the Anoka County Court Clerk these specific questions:

1. Is the defendant eligible for bail or a bond?
2. How much will the bail or bond be, and what are the additional fees?
3. Where do I go to pay it?
4. Are there any days or times of the day or night when I cannot post bail?
5. What types of payment are allowed? Cash? Money order? Credit card? What types of credit cards? Property or other collateral? Surety bonds?
6. Do I have to use a bail or bond agent?

If you feel the bail is too high and you wish to get it reduced, contact a lawyer or the defendant's public defender and get them to look into what they can do to get a bail reduction. The sooner you get working on this the quicker you will get your loved one released. 

This entire process will go smoother and faster with a criminal attorney or bail agent handling it for you.
